Boise

Hey guys! You all who went to work. Omg Idk how you did it. I barely have enough energy to climb my stairs! I am glad that everyone is doing so well and I'm proud of the hard work we are all putting in to make our tool effective!

@@tfowler mu incisions were glued so I don't have to go have them removed I think k that's a good thing. Once I got home I was able to get more comfortable and to consume more fluids. I have do e great today. 2 bottles of premier Protein and 42 oz of peppermint tea, Water, G2, popsicle, and broth. I am no longer nauseated and for the most part controlling the pain with the oxi and Tylenol. How are you?

@@Dulce_jtrivera it went a lot better than I anticipated as well. I started getting nervous and all before the surgery. I was in pain and nauseated when I woke but overall once I got all that under control I was ok. Once I got home it got better as far as intake. Good luck

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I just got home yesterday evening. I could not get my nausea under control. Now that I am home it's easier to get my fluids in. For today I've already had a full premier Protein bottle and about 26 oz of water/juice. I am feeling ok as long as I stay ahead of the pain. @@tfowler glad your surgery went well. How are you now?

@@mikferr I am packing my bag today. I have purchased gas X strips, Vitamin c lozenges, chapstick, I'll take my regular toiletries and then a sun dress to wear home. Oh I'm also taking my heating pad and a small firm pillow, and some slippers with the slip resistance at the bottom to walk in. Oh and bc I'm first thay day I'll need to find something to keep me occupied if I'm awake! There is a forum that you can't print a "what to take to the hospital" list off of that was very helpful to me. Good luck all its not far now!

@@wwiggins I just got a call to be there at :530 too! Omg this is so real! I have so much I need to do today. I haven't even packed my bag yet!

So apparently I thought being there at 645 made me first. I just got another call and now I have to be there at 5:30 am. Wow! Ok this is all getting so real and I have to clean and pack my bag.

@@tfowler all in time we will all be having great fun shedding the pounds!

I just got the call and I have to be there at 6:45 Monday morning. The surgery should start at 8:45. I am the first one scheduled! Aaahhh! Hopefully this means I'll be up and trying to walk by the afternoon. I am guessing this depends on how smooth the procedure is and how my body takes to it. Omg! I can't believe it's that time after all this preparation!

@@tfowler I am a property manager and one who is ready for her 2 weeks off lol. Yes I have to have all clear liquids starting midnight Saturday up until the surgery Monday. And have to drink the cleanse on Sunday morning. Your right thinking about it that really does stink. Are you not on clear liquids?

The 21st is fast approaching and I am eagerly awaiting the call from the hospital to let me know what time on Monday to be there. @@tfowler I will do my best to post as quickly as I can an update after surgery. I guess it all depends on what time the procedure actually happens. I have to say at this point I am getting a little anxious and I can't focus on anything. Today is my last day at work for 2 weeks and I can't even get my calculations together. I am definitely not looking forward to all Clear Liquids and the cleanse on Sunda. I just got used to the vanilla Protein with some chocolate oh its so good!

My surgery is on Monday 7/21 as well. I also find the pre-op diet very challenging. I am trying to follow it to the T and everyday wake up with the right intentions. Today I have done really well and I usually do until I get home. Do the best you can especially since with each day that passes we get closer to the surgery date.

I have sent her a message. Thanks!

@@wwiggins this is awesome. a support system makes everything more enjoyable. I see that you are also in NC. I am in Morrisville and you in Mooresville how funny is that? I only had a one week required pre-op but I started last week with a shake for breakfast and lunch. This week I will be on all liquids and the brain is telling me "no".
