So my Lovin Husband came home tonight from watching football at a Sports Bar which saved me from trying to be comfortable Out for 6 hours. But he brought home 2 frozen pizzas & they just happen to be my favorite frozen pizza. A psych Test I guess but I will not be moved. No feeling tastes as good as thin feels! I'm on a mission.

Evening friends!

So my bowel prep was less eventful than I imagined it would be. When I did it back in 2008, seems like I went a lot more. The only thing I can think of is that since I was already using that Mag. 07 product, which kept me very regular and very soft (TMI) bm's.

THis morning I had to go to the hospital and get labs done again. Then my honey and I went to Sam's Club to stock up on some stuff. Unfortunately we went right when they were giving away lots of food samples! OIY!! That was hard! Then I told my honey he should get something for lunch, so we went to Jimmy John's. I brought my thermos of broth in and he ate a big sub! Yep, that was hard too. But guess life will be full of tests, so a good challenge for me.

I had to take 2 different antibiotics at 2:00, 3:00 and then one more dose tonight at 10PM. The one says "Take with food." Nice...oh my goodness, made me SO sick to my stomach. Finally tried some broth at 5:30, that helped a little bit. Also got things "moving" some more.

TMI WARNING----for those that did the bowel prep, did the color change to crazy color? Mine before I ate broth today, was a dark green almost black color. So gross!!!

@@amylynns , Good luck tomorrow! You're going to do great

On a side note, I screwed up big time tonight. I went shopping with my girls and thought I could handle dinner out and I caved. I totally caved and ate 'real' food. I'm so scared I have messed up my surgery date by doing this. I was 6 days on my liquid diet and doing great, then this! I just hope I can be diligent and salvage what's left of my liquid diet over the next 7 days...

Ketosis headache, never heard of it, but sounds exactly like what I had. The bam--feeling better definitely happened.

Good luck with your surgery! Mine is tomorrow morning!

so excited for you @@amylynns you'll do fine.

falling down is easy, getting up again is real strength. Sit back, learn from it, process it, and keep going. You'll do fine.

@@GFord889 I know you will do fine for next 7 days because you want to have the safest surgery possible & shrink the Liver. Good Luck!

@@GFord889 I so understand your struggle. It should be okay you are still 7 days out. So you tripped but you can get up and keep going. I have been having a hard time too. When I get very busy, I don't eat/drink enough throughout the day and at dinner time I can't control my portion size. It is soooo hard. I can deliver a baby but I cannot control my food intake for one dinner, crazy but true.

Hello October Gladiators,

I have been lurking on this thread for quite a while. LOL! I feel like I know everyone. I have been cheering you all on and sending positive vibes your way! You all have answered so many of my questions and you have been a HUGE encouragement during this process for me. I am scheduled for RNY on tomorrow morning (10.20). I am a ball of nerves and soooo EXCITED. I'll post pics on the morning. I'm so happy to be headed toward the losers bench!

Oh, a brand new Gladiator going Oct 20th

@SholsLove

Good luck

[Beni 1,484]

Blast @shonlsLove I messed up your screen name on my previous post, sorry.

So, are you excited or scared out of your mind?

[ShonIsLove 64]

@@Beni I am a good mix. It just matters when you ask. One minute SUPER excited and the next SCARED!!!! I'm not turning back though!!

[Beni 1,484]

I know, me too. It's crazy, I feel like I am a WLS related bipolar patient. I usually make my mind about something and go with it. This is so different. A roller coaster of emotions.

Good luck tomorrow Gladiators! You will all come out fine. Sending painless, gas painless, and easy recovery vibes your way!
