I'm on Monday too and I'm starting to get super jittery. I'm trying to think of everything that needs to get done. Oh Boy!

Happy Birthday!

They told me to bring mine back to surgery with me because I might need it in recovery.

On the eve eve of starting my liquid diet, I'm trying to get in those foods that I love. I'm having sushi, miso soup, and a crab rangoon for lunch (Lunch special). Don't know what for dinner and daytime tomorrow, but tomorrow night my sister is cooking me a feast! Lemon Chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and my fav, green bean casserole (she's a doll). What other foods do you think I should try to get in (before people get testy, I'm still eating smaller portions because I've completely changed my diet)? Anything you were sad you didn't get a last taste of?

Thanks for the recipe! I'll have to try it when I'm on the mushy phase.

@MarvelGirl25 We're surgery twins! I'm getting so nervous but so excited!

My "last meal" was amazing and today I started my pre-op diet! Ready to go!

I picked 145, which is ever so slightly still in the overweight range. But I picked it because I was small until 20 and I was too small. I think I’d look good at 145. I think once I get there I’ll decide if I want to go smaller.

Yay!

It has cream of mushroom soup and fried onions in it. It’s just kinda carb heavy.

Oh I'm sure I'm going to still want green bean casserole. But at Thanksgiving I can have a tablespoon of it and be happy. That's my hope.

Thanks gals! Made me feel better :-)

Well that's encouraging. I know ginger is good for the stomach, I just thought the pickling would cause irritation. But good. I love the stuff.

I could go forever not having crab rangoon... this is my goodbye. But sushi and miso soup are life! I know I'll be able to have them again so I'm alright. Don't know about pickled ginger though... that will probably bother my stomach and that makes me sad.

My sister is amazing. Last night she sent me before and after pics of a friend of hers who had the sleeve a year ago, said just in case I needed some motivation. She's also taking my husband and I to the hospital (have to check in at 5:30am) since my husband doesn't drive (medical issues) and picking me up whenever I'm discharged. She's taking good care of me.

Okay glad your doctor told you to take them because my psychiatrist said most likely my meds will change very little due to surgery because most dosages are not based on weight.

What a trip! So glad you're back in good health. Good luck to you.

Lots of luck and hugs to everyone!

Okay maybe I just am clueless but what is Psyllium Husk and where do you get it? @FluffyChix

Yep I think it's now known as Noodles World Kitchen. It's a fast casual pasta place.

It's not that see-through. You look super sleek. Love it!

Cute!!! and work that slit!

At Noodles & Co you can make any item with Zoodles, even if it's not one of the advertised combos. There's a small upcharge.

Congrats it's so exciting!

They sell cards on Amazon... don't know if they work but good to know!
