Me three!! February 14th! I am a ball of mixed emotions. Good luck to you both.

Best wishes for your surgery this Friday, and happy birthday. At least you'll have your birthday as your milestone of your accomplishments in the years to come. I am less than two weeks from mine and I'm doing 2 weeks of Proteins only and I'm already having a hard time with it. I understand your jitters and thankful for all the great responses from people who've been there assuring everything will work out for the best.

Good Luck to you!

Well I guess there will be no chocolate for me this Valentine's Day and I am completely fine with that. :smile1: I will be going in for my VSG that day. My fiance just had his done on January 3rd and he is doing very well with his adjustments. I will admit I am a little afraid with some of the recovery issues I see with him but I think overall this is the best decision for me. I have been on a roller coaster ride with my weight-- gaining and losing 100, 50, 80, 35 pounds back and forth. This definitely cannot be good for my body, not to mention the heredity of heart disease, hbp, diabetes etc. etc. I guess I just have to keep convincing myself that I am doing the right thing. I am fairly new to this website and find so many inspiring stories on these forums, I really do thank you all and enjoy the good reads. Wish me luck and I will be back on to share my journey with all of you wonderful people.

Yay! Congrats as well. My BMI is right around 40. I am 5'7 and last week I weighed 261 and as of yesterday I weigh 252. I know it feels weird being so open with my weight. I have actually been doing good with my eating since my partner has been on fluids for the past 10 days. (I find it hard to eat hearty meals while he's on broth, lol) I really look forward to sharing our experiences. Good luck to both of you...

My fiance just had his VSG yesterday. He has had the hiccups really bad and at first it was happening when he started sipping his cold water. Through out the day he keeps getting them out of no where. I hope they stop, he says they are kind of painful and come with a burp every few hiccups. The nurse changed him over to tap water and they are now a little less than before but still there. He hasn't had anything but water because of the ugly feeling with the hiccups.
