LOL @ guinea pig (and I really didn't mind)

it is truly amazing how much better I feel everyday.  Having a little difficulty with taste - any red liquid taste too sweet.  Greek yogurt is absolutely horrible so protein shakes, jello, popsicles, broth, and water/juice are it for me till next week.  I am looking forward to the puree diet.  Actually got all of my meds AND vitamins in today (boy did that take alot of planning).  Tomorrow's goal -- get in all 3 protein shakes!!

pre-op liquid purgatory....   is exactly how to describe it....lol....

but... in the end... it is all worth it...  

cheers  and continued good healing....

 

Girl if you weren't nervous I'd t hink something was wrong with you   Only a few more weeks - it will be here before you know it.  Who knows you may get calmer as the day approaches (I did - was weird) lol

Express your fears to the anthestesologist if you are still nervous right before surgery.  He can give you something to help calm you (believe me this comes in helpful if you freak out - and well I've freaked out before surgery in the past - had a dr trip over my IV cord and rip it out, lots of blood - LONG story, anyway I had them give me some "calming" meds before the good stuff before my surgery)

When you go to the store buy some condiment cups (they sell them at Walmart in the paper plate area).  They really helped me out early out (and still now for work/lunch), to keep up with my portions...to learn exactly how much I should be eating...keeps the portion control in check...

Hello everyone...I had my surgery  in August, although I'm not quite "fall" I'd love a supportive group to be able to post to...so with your permission I'd like to crash the group?

I had my first WLS in April 2008 (LapBand) and over the past three years had a lot of complications and had revision surgery.  I was 283 at my pre-op appointment (had only two days of full liquids) and am down to 234.

I just got cleared for FULL exercise (which is my biggest foe) this past week. My revision was open and it seems my body didn't like the sutures - they kept coming out/undone...so took two  months to heal...hasn't been fun, but it has been worth it.

I'm the mother of two beautiful girls and am lucky to have married my soul mate and best friend.  For the first time in my life I have support at home.  I'm looking forward to making new friends here and having a place to share some up and downs during this Weight Loss Journey...
