Ok I'm checked in and waiting to go back!! Surprising I'm a somewhat calm!! Please keep me in your thoughts and I will update ASAP!!

I've walked a few times but tomorrow I will walk more I'm to loopy today lol

Ok guys I can finally post not the post-op form!! I'm officially on the losers bench and I'm feeling pretty good right now!! Let's hope it stays this way after the pain meds have wore off!!

Thank you I'm out and doing great!!

Thanks I need to hear that!!

Mine is @ 5:15am tomorrow. I'm still scared and starting to get excited.

No St. Vincent's east.

I tomorrow I start my clear liquids (yay) and then the big day is Wednesday!! That little voice in my mind keeps trying to talk me out of it!! I'm not going to lie I'm scared to death, but it's time to do this for myself!!!

Thank you Janifer! I'm having my surgery in Birmingham Alabama.

Can you guys recommend a soy protein that is unflavored? I am lactose and tolerant and I am using the EAS soy protein but I am tired of vanilla, I put sf syrups in them to change the flavors but I am getting tired of them too!! LOL!! Any help would be appreciated!

Any help would be appreciated! Sorry if this is a repeat for anyone that is on the Pre-Op forum.

I'm October 30th also!! I'm super scared, nervous & excited!! It doesn't seem real to me either!!

It gets easier, stay strong you can do it!!

It went well! Usually I have to get stuck a 100 times before they hit a vein but the girl got it on the first stick! I was so nervous while I was there and my doctor talked to me and that helped calm my nerves a little.

I go in for my pre-op test and I have paid for my surgery today! My surgery is Wednesday I'm so scared and nervous and excited!!!!

It gets easier as you go!! Don't give in, you can do it!!

Chelle I hope you don't die either!! I have the same anxiety myself, lol, but I keep telling myself that my surgeons are very experienced and that I am in good hands!! I still have 10 days to go and I keep trying to talk myself out of it but since I have been on the liquid diet for 4 days now I am down 4 pounds so that kinda motivated me!!

So my husband claims to be "supportive" but he gets all bent out if shape when I ask him to go to the support group meetings or if I ask him to go walking with me, so I say screw it and not go! I have got to get it in my head that I can do this with or without him!! Has anyone else had this problem with so called "support"?

I'm on day 2 and I'm so exhausted!!! Is there anything I can do to boost my energy?

Thanks!! I'm actually walking now!! I pretty much feel like a single person!! Lol. After I wrote that I thought about how it sounded and quickly reminded myself that I'm a strong independent person it's just kinda depressing when the person who's supposed to be your biggest supporter is the one who keeps you down. This is my time and he doesn't want to be there he will be left behind!!

Day 4 and it's getting easier. Last night was the ultimate test bc I went with my husband to a pool hall (we play in a pool league) that serves food that is a fat girls dream!! Not only is the cooking area in the middle of the place and you can smell it from anywhere in the building but we ended up sitting right next to the place that the waiters come out of with the food!!! It took everything I had not to snatch the chicken wings out of that girls hands!! I told my friend I was about to trip the next person and I'm not to proud right now to eat that shit off the floor!! (<< I would never do that!!) So as I fought and fought the urge the waitress starts popping popcorn, not the kind in a bag but the kind they make @ the movies, and guess where I'm sitting yup right next to that oh so smell good popcorn!!! And to top it off she goes over the intercom and announces that they are GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE!!!! Oh holy hell!!! But I resisted!!! It was sooo hard to do, especially since I have not DRANK my dinner yet, but I did it!!! Anyway just thought u would share my experience hope all is well with you guys!!

I can have creamed soups and that is pretty much all I have lived off of other than my protein shakes, yogurts and sf jello. I'm on day three and it's a little better I'm not starving I guess bc I drink a lot of water but it sucks seeing others eat whatever they want!! Lol I cornered a friend and begged for a chip yesterday but thankfully she refused!!

Thank you!! I am determined not to fail but I have some pretty bad cravings!! I am hoping that once my body and mind adjust to only liquids it will get better. Best of luck to you too!!
