Yeah. I'm expecting cheerleading outfits and pompoms!!! "April, April! She's our girl! She's the best thing in the world! Go! April!!!" I'll do the same for y'all. Lmao

Omg!!!! That's me too!!! That dang IV. LOL

They get scared and project it wrong. Guys aren't adept at showing how they feel and project it on to other things. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it right now. Sure you're doing this for you, but you're doing it for him too. To spend a longer, happier, healthier life with him. (((Hugs)))

You guys are gonna do great and we are going to be here cheering y'all on. I'm so excited and it ain't even my turn!!!! Haha

Damn girl, making me google the hard words. Lmao

Hey!!!! How's it going for u so far? You hanging in there?

Yay!!!! I can't believe it?!?! Lmao A few more things... They asked me to bring any current meds I'm taking in a ziplock bag. Not Bc they're gonna administer em, but to double check dosages, etc. And if u were given an incentive spirometer to strengthen your lungs, take it. I'm super excited for you!!!!!

No judgment here. We are never gonna encourage someone to go off the diet, but this diet is very hard. It is the hardest thing to do and things happen. They just do. But you get up, dust yourself off, then grab the bull by the horns and hold on. You'll do great

Yeah. It'll be tough, but if you've come this far, you can do it!

Ok. I figured out MFP so if you have one add me It's aprilgilley

I ain't gonna lie, it's hard. Just do ur best and don't let your mind get the best of you with head hunger.

Yeah. The way that was done was shitty. Well.... Is your bag packed yet? Lol

First. Calm down. Are your parents loaning you the money? If so, take the check with you tomorrow. They called you at 4:30. Business offices usually close 4-5 so there is no way you could've gotten it to them anyway. Give the check to your patient advocate/etc in the morning before surgery. Mine would've billed me instead of demanding it up front, but each place is different. The main thing is to remain calm. These things happen. If nothing else, while you're in surgery someone can go pay that for you.

. That's funny, I lived in the Sherman/Denison tx area for over 10 yrs and moved across the red river into Durant. So I have a 3 hr drive to my surgery.

Hey there! I almost went there to but ended up going through dr Nelson at journey clinic. I'll be having mine Tuesday at Norman Regional Glad to see a fellow okie. Happy you're doing so well.

So... Protein powder does NOT mix with everything. Ugh

I know what you mean. Be sure and keep us updated when you're able to after surgery

Yay!!! So happy for you!!! You're gonna do great. I can't wait til I get my call Friday that tells me what time to be there next Tuesday!!!!

Got my bariatric fusion vitamin soft chews in the mail. It took like 2 weeks to get here so now I know to prefer them early. I got the mixed berry. It was actually really tasty. Definitely sweet. A little softer than a starburst chew, more like the consistency of a chewy caramel without it sticking to your teeth. Doesn't smell like funky vitamins. Smells sweet. Like starburst. The cool thing is you take 3 per day and it's all-in-one, which my surgeons office said was excellent. Way better than taking 9 or 10 vitamins per day.

Hmm... I specifically asked my surgeon this and he said gas x will help with stomach and intestinal gas. Like when they put gas in your new tummy to make sure their are no leaks, but not the gas they use to inflate your body cavity so they can see. That it dissipates on it's own and movement like walking is the only thing that speeds it up. She said she tries to remove as much as possible though.

Dang. I was thinking we were10 days in. But we are 9. Ugh. You are doing better than me. I had gained 5 on food funerals so I've lost that plus a pound.

And we'll be sending you lots of good vibes and waiting for you to tell is all about it!!!!

I lost weight the first two days. And then nothin til today, day 10. I finally lost a pound.

I wish I didn't have to gobble stool softeners. SJ is our poop leader!!!!!

I know what u mean, girl. But once they get it in they'll give u drugs to relax and you'll be on a cloud
