Hang in there girl. Dr Rumsey wanted me to lose some also. I got that squared away and am still losing more. Now is the time to really knuckle down, fight those urges and get on top of it all.
I remember after having my appointment with the Surgeon, that they said they'd contact me within 3 weeks with a surgery day, so you should hear from them really soon. Remember, you can always call them too, don't be afraid to do so.
I started following kind of what Dr Rumsey told me to do, but more to the scale of what Dr Tanaka told Becca to do, and that was the 3 shakes a day with additional food at lunch and dinner (although I can go without the food somedays). The extra weight is coming off and it is giving me nicer buffer just to be sure Im still where I should be to go into surgery.
You are women, stand strong and roar!

Hi Sara,
They told me it would be three weeks before I got a call. I think that's the standard cookie-cutter response from PB. We all got call at different lengths of time. It must come down to surgeon and surgery type. That's the only thing that makes any sense.
Have you seen the movie "Hall Pass" yet? I just saw it the other night...pretty funny. The guy on there wears a CPAP (it's a funny image, you should watch it!)
One of the guys on here...Waffleking....got rid of sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension (I think) and a bunch of other health issues. All after only losing 50lbs of the 100+ pounds he wants to lose. Maybe you won't be on the machine for that long after surgery....???
I am nervous too. My friend that had RNY done last month was sick to her stomach the whole week before. She even barfed (TMI) a few time. At least she dropped a few lb's by getting nervous before surgery :) I think about it alot more these days than I used too (I know that doesn't sound possible..right). I think about it almost every time I do something, like how is what I'm doing and the way I'm doing it, gonna change after surgery. Buckling my seat belt, adjusting the car seat, bending over to grab something off the floor, it's constant. I think about it, literally, with almost everything I do now...so weird. I'm starting to have trouble sleeping at night too. I think about it way too much..lol.
You better text me as soon as you get your date!!! OR ELSE!!!!
I'm sending positive vibes your way right now...and now... and now...and now...and now...can you feel um'.... they will call!
Take Care,
Becca

I'm with you Becca, I'm always thinking about how the surgery will change me, or affect me in life.
Sitting into a booth seat at a restaurant of some where of the likes, I only imagine what it's like to NOT have my boobs rest on the table! (is that weird?)

I just got my appointment schedules with PBG for 8/9/11, I am behind all of you.
It popped into my head the other day that this time next year I will be a completely different person. So of course I started going thru all the events that will be happening that I will be a thin person for and it really blew my mind. Mainly because this is the first time I can honestly say that I will be thin. Period. Not if stay on the optifast etc etc etc. I will be thin. Yes it will be up to me to maintain it and to make the most of it but for the first time it is sure thing. And if I do what I am supposed to I can actually go down to what all the charts say I should. Now that is overwhelming to me. I am 56 and haven't weighted what I should since I was about 12. The big weight came on when I was about 30, a big leap helped by some bad stuff. Anyway I was gettig all freaked out about my saggy boobs, thanks! now I have an image of them in my soup, and my inner thighs. But then I thought hey what the heck do I care. It will be such a pleasure to be light I don't care if it takes kevlar to contain all my flappers! I totally agree about all the things I won't have to consider, like flying and roller coasters. I have a great story about my last roller coster ride and the oe on the Materhorn at Disneyland. Anyway its going to be wonderful and we all need to just remond ourselves all the time. FAT is going to be a none issue. Our focus is going tobe on nbeing healthy and having the most fun we can!!! Besides when I stop eating all this expensive junk I think I will probably be millionaire and have all the plastic surgery I want. *****s) UP!

You're beautilful, so pretty and so stylish. Kids can be unfiltered and mean. He probably gets picked on at school, so he has to pick on others.
Tell me what that kid looked like, if I ever see him i will "acidentally" trip him for you
What a little pecker head.
I don't think I will be up for visitors Friday, cuz I won't get in a room til pretty late. But anytime Sat or Sun would be GREAT. I will love to have company. I will have my friend that is staying with me text you the room number. And trust me, I'm taking as much drugs as they will give me..lol. I'm looking forward to it, kinda like a mini vacation. No cleaning, no bills to pay, no kids to run around, no meals to cook, no dished to do! Just me, my drugs, an adjustable bed, and my own personal TV (and remote) that I don't have to share with my husband or kids. YAY ME!
And you brought up a good point. We should all plan a Disneyland trip after our weight is gone. That would be FUN!!!!
TTYS,
Becca
