Feeling better today. I am swallowing better today, so I am doing clears today. I have slight gas discomfort in my stomach but nothing too bad. I took some Gas x which seems to help. I able to burp without a problem. No shoulder pains, so I am happy about that. Have a little pain around my incision especially the incision around my bellybutton. But overall I feel pretty good. I' m glad to hear from the other two that had surgery, glad you guys are doing well. Just waiting to hear from Soco who had her surgery as well yesterday. I'm also looking forward to hearing from the guys who are having surgery as well today, can't wait to hear how that goes. Good luck all!:thumbup:

I feel great guys! The only problem I have is I can only do ice chips today because of the swelling. Dr. Snow said I should be able to handle clears tomorrow. I hope so because I don't want to get dehydrated. I am not hungry at all, which is a good thing because I haven't eaten anything or drunk anything except ice chips. My doctor did a new thing where my port is right by my belly button and I have one other incision in my belly button, plus one more in the upper abdomen right under my left breast. So i will probably have only one semi visible incision which is cool as well. Well hope everyone else had an awesome day.:thumbup:

Just a quick post to let you know that I am home and doing well. Will let you guys know the details when I am not as tired from anesthesia. Hope everyone else did good. LUVS.:frown:

I just wanted to check in with everyone real quickly. I am getting a little nervous but can't wait for tomorrow. Everyone that is having surgery tomorrow good luck, I will be thinking of you all tomorrow. Well I will try to post tomorrow, just depends on how I feel. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.:biggrin:

Don't beat yourself up about it, so have I and I still have lost weight.

I will try my best to post the day of but if not I will post the day after. Good luck to everyone else.

Well I made it to 250. I am so happy, but I have a terrible headache today, so I will keep this to a minimum. I wonder if I could lose 5 more by Tuesday, I doubt it but you never know. LOL:biggrin:

Hope your Dad gets better. Hang in there. PE's can be very scary.

or September Sexy Bandsters!:wub:

September Super Estrellas!:wub:

That's great that you guys will be doing it together. Good Luck!:wub:

How about September allstars? or September estrellas which is stars in Spanish? OK I cheated today and went to Applebee's but I was a very good girl and had a WW meal at Applebees.I had the Tilapia and substituted the rice for mashed potatoes. I ate the Tilapia and the broccolli and only had about half of the potatoes. But you know I was only suppose to have liquids for 5 days pre-op and I did a week and a half of all liquids and then I had a small salad on my birthday and then a meal today and other than that I have stuck to my pre-op diet.I figured that I have already lost 20 lbs and some of y'all are allowed one sensible meal a day, so it was not going to hurt me. I also did something today that I haven't done since May 2008 and that was I got in a bathingsuit and went to the pool and I didn't really feel as self consciuos about it as I did last May. Last may I wore a cover up the whole time I was at the pool, but not this time. That is big for me. I can't wait til next year and maybe I can venture:cool: out in a bikini. LOL. Wish everyone the best.

Off to the gym but I wanted to let you all know that I lost another 2 lbs for a total of four pounds this week. So that is great news, because I couldn't expect to lose 12 pounds every week. Three days to go and hoping to lose 2 more pounds before Tuesday. If not twenty pounds is very good in one month, I think. I can't remember who was having their surgery on the August 31rst, but I want to wish you all the luck in the world and we will all be thinking about you on Monday, let us know how it goes.
