downsizingdiva 459 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) One thing I'm worried about is that I haven't practiced small bites, small sips, or eating slowly, at all. I'm a major gulper. I have been known to down a whole bottle of Water at once. I eat fast, and I'm an over eater. Well maybe over eater isn't fair, I think my stomach has always been larger, my whole life. I have been drinking shakes for like a year and I always down them. Just want to drink it and be done. Ive just always been that way. Anyway, since I haven't practiced, I'm probably in for a rude awakening. Just being honest here. Edited January 12, 2015 by downsizingdiva Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommyoftwogirls 75 Posted January 12, 2015 You got that right! But I also think any amount of time until the actual surgery is a long time!! I am going around cleaning my house and getting last minute things and going crazy! Hey @@mommyoftwogirls! So excited to have buddies! I'm not nervous...at the moment anyway. I can't believe it's finally so close seems like I've waited an eternity. 10 months is pretty close to eternity in wls world anyway ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommyoftwogirls 75 Posted January 13, 2015 The surgeons office told me that my surgery was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. and that I had to be at the hospital at 8:00 a.m. But at pre-admission testing at the hospital they said it could change. They would call the night before. The hospital is an hour and 15 minutes away. My family are going up Wednesday night to sleep at a hotel near the hospital. Hey everyone! Three more nights and two more days! How many of you already have your scheduled time to be at the hospital? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
