My time: Thinking of you this evening. Less than 11 hours until you're starting a new phase in life!! Many blessings to you.

Thank you for thinking of me. Everything seems to have gone well. I've been up and walking, and cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings... Hopefully some Water.

Hi, thanks for asking. I got home yesterday afternoon. There are some aspects that are harder than I would have imagined. Like getting in all the liquids. Having issues with that. Not hungry, so the 10 billion food commercials don't really phase me. My legs feel like lead, but I guess that will get better with time. You will be hAppy to know the crew at the hospital are exceptional. Will taker really good care of you, but don't expect to sleep for more than an hour at a time. To sum it up, I'm not out dancing an Irish jig yet, but will you there.

You will do great. Hang in there. The liquid diet is awful, but it will get you where you need to be. After your surgery, we'll compare notes. :-). Keep me up to date on your progress please.

Wonderful news about the hospital staff. And thanks for the encouragement. I've been nervous about the pre-op liquid diet since hearing last week that I had to lose 5% before surgery. Reason being, I was 249 up until I got back from my cruise. Then this past Monday I was up to 254!! Ugh! Of course some of it might have been my steak dinner from Saturday night. BUT all I could focus on was that 5% from 249 is 236.6 & that's 12.5 lbs to lose BUT 236.6 from 254 is 17.5 lbs!!! I am just a little nervous about losing that larger amount to get down 5% of the last weight they have on record :-(

Anyway, enough about me... I'm so glad to read that you're not having complications. I will definitely be keeping in touch. In fact, feel free to come by the hospital (if its not a great distance for you) while I'm there! I'd love to meet you in person & have face-to-face contact from someone so close to my date & by the same doctor :-). I'm so glad I found you on VST!!

Susan, does your liquid diet start next week. I'm not going to kid you... It sucks, but really, by about day 5 or 6 it really does get easier. If you need someone to talk you off the ledge, just send me a message. Day 5 was the day I thought I would not make it. My husband and I sat down, drank some wine, (liquid and Saturday morning I got up dusted my self off and pushed forward. I'll be thinking about you. You are going to do fine!!!
