Topic: are you excited? my date is coming up pretty soon now.
i can't wait to be on the loser's bench. i have so many skinny clothes i can't wait to fit back into, also. after i yoyo'ed my weight a few times i learned to keep onto all kinds of sizes. i am soo excited to get where i am supposed to be. :)

i know i just posted up a storm in our little forum but it totally needs it. i'll be back here to keep everyone posted on my experiences too! since i am probably one of the earlier sleevers.

congratualtions everyone on taking the steps to improve your life!!

Topic: RE: Pre Surgery Jitters?
i feel good about eating so little after the surgery, it is less i am consuming overall and is more food for someone else.

i am scared about getting cut open and everything, i've never been hospitalized before

Topic: RE: What to bring to the hospital
my phone charger for my phone which i use as a computer pretty much. it does MP3s and movies and everything if i get bored with the internet

chap stick

hair brush
toothpaste
shampoo and such to shower there before i go home
big comfy stretchy yoga pants or pajamas. not sure which i will choose yet

ooh, ear plugs is a good idea. i need those or i can't sleep, that would suck!

Topic: RE: Items to have at home when you...
the cup/candle warmer is a great idea i never though of. i also need to get a nice scale, i have no scale at all and i have never tried to keep track of numbers. i always went by my appearance and going through different sizes of clothing.

i wish i had something more to add right now but i think you covered everything.
maybe find a unflavored unsweetened protein isolate that tastes good in soups or i could flavor myself. i already have a large bag, the taste isn't very great but i am very put off by eating things that aren't "food" like preservatives and "flavors" or the fake sugars like sucralose and aspartame... those fake sugars are in almost everything premixed
