Oh and I lost 30 pounds from my first phone call to the group, and surgery date.

I got there at 10, was called down immediately for the whole preop, getting ready session. It was hurry up and wait. I expected labs to be taken, nope. Was asked if there was a chance I could be pregnant. NOPE, had a hysterectomy. Gowned, and asked a million questions. Then the anesthesiologist came in, and asked the same Million questions. Then announced his student would do my iv. UM>... I'm a hard stick. (probably the most pain I had all day). She tried 2 times. Then after a while the anesthesiologist tried once, got it in, but it wasn't a good one. So they used that to put me out, and then started yet another. Oh and the blood thinning shot. I woke up in the Recovery room. Was there a few minutes, then moved to the post anesthesia care unit. Then found out that even though they didn't think it would be possible, they'd try me at the swollow test. But I had to get up and walk walk walk. So I made 10 laps around their little area. So they called my surgeon and told him that the test would be a breeze for me, and how I'd just walked so many laps. So he started the discharge paperwork. I got out of there about 5:30 pm. I passed obviously the swollow test. And am home :thumbup: I slept flat on my back. Had a little trouble getting up from that this morning. I can start Water again in about 20 minutes, no desire though. I drank my Protein drink already this morning. YUCKY! But it's down. Well I gotta go say good bye to my oldest son. teri

Thank you for doing this. I'm home, but just wasn't sure I'd beup to it Teri

I Hope you heal fast from your infection and feel better fast with your band teri

My surgery is now 3 and a half hours later than I was originally told. UGH! And I might have to spend the night :tt1: teri

Congrats Nayray. If I get a surprise + on my pee test tomorrow, I'm sueing someone I had a hysterectomy a year ago. I'm so happy for you. teri

I'm home also today, although I do have to go out for a bit... dumps and then therapy for my son. Then I'm making pudding, and jellos for me. Oh yea, stopping at the grocery store to grab more milk. That's important in this house (I have two sons that are milkaholics). teri

My power supply died. IT just isn't fair. Anyway, I hope this finds you on the mend Loulou_k72. You are the only one on the list for the 13th. Again if I missed someone I apologize. Teri

I hope you feel better every day. Teri

good question... I'll be able to give my 2 cents tuesday... but you're getting yours then too if I remember right. Teri

post op. Seriously If I don't have food in my hands, I used to go crazy. So I'm now Knitting up a storm. Anyone want a scarf? LMAO. I've always been a crafter, but I need to keep my hands really busy now. That and I've been cleaning up a storm since I started this journey. Spring cleaning in August... works for me. Teri

Just wanted to wish those having surgery the 11th good luck. It's quite a long list. We're thinking of you, and praying for you. Slabenne paisleydaisy newby23 nayray13 srknepler scubadarz debduck gummykandi lisamarie1158 If I miss someone please let me know. Teri

Good luck and let us know how you made out> teri

My dr decides based on the information they get from the endoscopy, and phsyical finding they find when they get in there. I only get to decide HIGH or LOW profile ports. I'm thinking low. teri

I never even had to do a special diet. I just had to loose 5% of my weight... which for me was 13 pounds. I lost 27. I too have PCOS, endometriosis, diabetes, fibromyalgia. ETC! I'll be banded tuesday. It's funny, having been practicing the serving sizes we're allowed post op, I've actually gotten to where that's what I am satisfied at. But am hungry an hour later. The band helps with that. I gave up sweets. That was hard, and soda too! But I did it. And trust me if I can anyone can. Teri

that will probably be a good idea teri

I'm glad you are ready... and our thoughts and prayers go with you teri

I don't have a special pre op diet, but had to loose 5% of my weight. I've gone well beyond that. I've lost 26 pounds (my surgery is tuesday). To me 6 weeks of optifast is a living hell. I couldn't do it. But loosing a percentage of your weight, yea I can do that. And I only have 1 week of liquids post op. I've done that to see if I can post op. Then I graduate to purees for two weeks. Again I've experimented with it. And it wasn't bad. Personally, I've seen others in my September group, who've started this liquid diet and loose a lot of weight the first week, then drop right off, to one or two pounds a week. So maybe you won't drop 30 or 40 pounds. Sorry to burst your bubble. Good luck with your surgery, and I'm glad you are happy with your program. I'm absolutely loving my program, my dr's and the rest of the staff in my bariatric team. Teri

I thought I'd do a daily reminder of those having surgeries... if someone doesn't like the idea, please feel free to let me know. I just thought it was nice to make a mention and maybe if we stop by and think of or say a prayer for these people it would be nice :biggrin: So Wednesday September 10 are Florn Dal Ravensqued AngelLove Sandra Good luck all. We are thinking of you

Good luck to our september 9th samari... aprilapple hilbean 1000words msv529 angelwhispers we're thinking of you. teri

I'm starting to get nervous! I'm glad the day is nearing... and yes I'm glad the weekend is coming, then we only have monday to contend with. Monday I'll have therapy for the twins, so that'll make it go faster. And last minute shopping, and like that. What are your plans for the weekend? Teri

I'm praying for you Sandra!

I took it to loose my required weight loss. It really helped me, and I learned real fast not to eat fatty foods :biggrin: Teri

This group ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We could be the february frogs, and we'd still rock! teri
