Thanks everyone! Well, I ate after the hospital and will snack again before 10pm and lights out". I am not really nervous and I think one reason is cause Mom is here. The wind is blowing like crazy!!! It is a beating just to step outside the room but the pool is beautiful! I will show Mom how to post on here so that she can keep everyone informed... Thank you to everyone for the last month or so of encouragement and information, even if it was a post to me personally, just everyone taking the time to post and answer questions has been a true blessing!

Question: how much should I tip Ernesto and the nurses? Thanks!

In the van with Ernesto!!! Can't believe it is finally here!!!

Thanks Tiff, just reading back through all of the advice you have given over the last several weeks and taking some notes! Oh wow, won't be long now! I am starting to get scared but it will all be over soon!

I won't tell if you won't! Shhh...

Thinking about you this morning!!! I hope everything goes well and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Will be thinking about you! Hmmm, might be a big decision for me on Sunday evening, I will be in Mexico and those Margaritas are darn good... Nah, don't want to be hung over the day of surgery... ENJOY! Not your last meal, just the last meal of that size!

God Bless you and your family.

Thank you! I bookmarked this!!!

Scheduled for May 10th with Dr. Aceves. Although I have a full time job and care for three children, my mind has had so much time lately to think and rethink! Today I find myself wondering if I made the right decision on the doctor I am going to. I know I had a clear head and researched my choice, it has to just be this waiting game that is making me crazy!!! If I had enough leave I would seriously take the rest of the week off! I am just no good right now! I leave Saturday to go to my Mom's house and then Sunday heading to San Diego, the weather is showing thunderstorms at the airport I fly out of on Saturday, wondering if I should change my flight and leave on Friday, I can't chance missing the flight to San Diego Sunday morning. I am one big bunch of nerves! Usually very cool headed but the time factor is getting to me!!!

My chat window is not working, anyone else having issues? I need my Chat!!!

Ok, well darn, I am headed to bed, maybe tomorrow night????

I can work from home, I think I will just see how I feel at that point and make a decision then...

Thanks everyone. Well, I am not going to worry about trying them until I get home after surgery, figure I have no idea what my tastes will be after the sleeve. I also bought dutch chocolate EAS RTD protein shakes and will try those after my clear liquid phase. I also have the cookies and cream powder from GNC, still not as educated on what all of this protein lingo is but I trust that this fastly approaching start to my new life will be an education unlike any other!

Sorry to hear that you all have experienced that. This makes me wonder if I should go ahead and notify my employer that I will work from home the week following surgery. I am uncomfortable enough being the weight I am and my tight clothing, I do not want to have to deal with that returning to work.

Thanks everyone, it's like Christmas Eve lasting for days! I am ready!!!

No opinion yet but would like to try them, where are you getting the OhYeah RTD shakes?

I completely understand your fears as a single parent and respect your reservations. I will have surgery on Monday, May 10th. I encourage you to get to know the folks here, less than a month ago I found this forum and it has been a true education. I can't wait to "join the ranks". I invite you to come and chat sometimes and ask all the questions you have... I do not know if you are a religious person but just wanted to say I will pray for you and your children. I am a single parent with 3 kids, all things are possible and my children ARE my #1 motivation! God Bless and glad you are here!

Oh and yes I had a great time! But I will not miss being able to drink that much! Heehee...

Well I am headed out tonight for one last night of cold beverages and food with friends and I sure needed it! Husband has the kids and I am going to enjoy some adult time! It is about 90 degrees out right now and left the house wearing a black sweater that stretches. My husband asked why I would wear a sweater when it is so hot, made tears come to my eyes, he just doesn't get it. He hugged me by and squeezes my back fat, he really does not get it! Thank you for loving me unconditionally but I don't love myself, don't TELL me it is ok! SO..... I am having a nice tall beer and gonna promise myself that I will have a good time AND I will not tell anyone here what I am about to do, will do that after it is all over with! 9 more days!!!!!!! PS it is chilly in the bar even with the sweater and back fat so I made the right choice regardless!

Lol great point!

Thank you for all of you veteran Sleevers for continuing to post your progress! Just 7 days away from my surgery and this REALLY helps calm my nerves reading these wonderful true life stories! Congrats to all and see you on the other side soon!

You will be in my thoughts tomorrow morning! My surgery is on May 10th so I will be just 7 days behind you! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
