happymama2014 206 Posted November 3, 2014 I was trying so hard to do all kids of things and I'm finally settling down. Lots of supplements and last minute Vitamins that are coming in the mail. Going tonight to get a wedge for my bed and some extra bottles for mixing Protein. I'm packing my bag tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2B 263 Posted November 4, 2014 I am less than a week away too now and also trying to get my ducks in a row. What is the wedge for your bed for? I have a big wedge pillow - will that do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shellbell79 44 Posted November 4, 2014 Oh and I guess I should shave my legs!! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikicoates78 220 Posted November 4, 2014 Lol I shaved the night before thinking it would be weeks before I could again. No worries ladies. I was able to shave 3 days post op too! I should have used it as an excuse for longer ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellbell79 44 Posted November 4, 2014 That's reassuring, but I was kinda hoping I could use it as an excuse and to keep me warm for a bit. Lol. I won't tell my partner about that.. Shhhh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikicoates78 220 Posted November 4, 2014 I was actually quite surprised at how quick recovery was. And that I had no issues with reaching my toes. I did need help tying my shoes the 1st couple days. But it was fine after that. I didn't even take any pain medication after I left the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happymama2014 206 Posted November 4, 2014 I went this weekend and got my underarms and legs waxed thinking it would be weeks til I could do it again. And a pedicure. I went withs friend and we had Indian food after it was a nice day! I ran out if time and steam. I am probably going to be up all night before surgery but what's new. I have tons of paperwork and things that need done but can't be done in time. So just have to enjoy the ride. Sunday we celebrated my sons bday so we went to Breakfast and I got potatoe pancakes eggs and bacon and coffee. I did have a loaded fry and some Halloween candy now I'm on liquids till Thursday . Last week I did go have Indian food and a last steak and lobster who knows how long til I can digest steak again. And I had a cold stone icecream too. All cravings have been met now hopefully after I lose this weight and enjoy a few bites of something when I want it and that will be ok. It's about making better choices and Portion Control . Portions were my downfall so praying that this sleeve allows me to get into smaller portions by habit and necessity ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
