Hi Dini! How are ya?

I really haven't had any gas pain at all. Some pain in the shoulders, but pretty much gone today. A little port pain, well controlled with the luquid vicodin. Haven't had any since early this morning. Don't need it much now. I'm really pleased with how I'm feeling and how things are going, especially for an OLD broad like me!!

Chim - that's right sister, you jump around! I'd say stay up all night and have some fun, but really....sleep on your tummy, it will be a while before you're comfortable doing that again! (it doesn't hurt me, just makes me too aware that I'm doing it...therefore, uncomfortable)

Hey, I got some kids for sale....anyone interested?

Don't say that! You're not an old broad! You are a beautiful woman w/just a few years, experience, and wisdom under your belt.

I'm glad the pain hasn't been that bad. I have a very high tolerance for pain, so I'm praying I'll be okay w/this.

Today was my first day back at work since surgery. It wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon, I felt pain where my port is but that's it.

The problem I did have was I got so busy working that I'd forget to drink. 20 - 30 minutes would go by and I'd see my bottle sitting there so then instead of sipping, I'd take a gulp and pay for it with discomfort for a few minutes.

I'm seriously thinking of putting a pop up reminder on my computer every 5 minutes to take a sip of Water. That way I won't forget.

Welcome BostonChic and Gingersnap! Congrats on your banding! How neat is that to have your friend alongside you. This is an awesome group. We're so glad you've joined us. Jump right in.

Auntie Phyll, yes, I will be staying overnight, so I'll be home on Thursday. My hospital room has wireless internet, but I no longer have a laptop.

Mango, yay!!! Glad you're back. Get some rest and talk to us when you're up to it.

Marcy, :) - I can't believe it's here. Wow. It's here. The butterflies have started. BTW, I'm a side sleeper, but I won't be able to do that for a while b/c the port will be on the side I favor!

Go chimmy, it's your BANDDAY, we're gonna party like it's you BANDDAY!!!LOL, I'm sooooo excited for you to finally be getting this done.

Just got back from my first support meeting. I love my Doc. Not bad, but we are combined Band and Bypass patients. There was an excercise person supposed to talk tonight, but she had two sick little ones at home. So it ended up being open discussion. Have I mentioned the fact that I love my Doc, no REALLY. He has got to be the most beautiful creature I have seen, with these piercing blue eyes. MY GOD, and I'm married!!!!!!!!! He's Fu***ing HOT, and I don't cuss, so that's telling you something. OMG, and when I look at him, I get chills up and down my spine, and all I can do is smile. Why does he have to be soooooo gorgeoous, and my age- I'm 8 days older than him. WOW, don't tell my DH, I won't be able to get my fill next week!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome bostonchic and gingersnap!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
