The day is getting closer

So tomorrow I am meeting my surgeon and getting the call from the hospital about what time to go in for Thursday. I can't believe the it's only one day away. Thursday February 19 with be my new beginning. Thank you all that have answered my posted and for all of you guys posting thigh out there. I feel like I'm pretty well prepared. I am already lost 9 pounds on the liquid diet which wasn't too bad for me. And I'm already fitting into my clothes differently. Thanks again.

Hi there and congratulations! Whole new chapter beginning....choosing yourself and your healthy future first is such a powerful thing. I love having the appetite monster of my back and being able to make good choices. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Walking really helped kick my body into healing mode. Every time I had to get up to pee I would cruise up and down the hallway, a little further each time. Impress yourself and the nurses!

Thanks so much I'm all about that. Going to impress my self and everyone. This is it. I'm hoping to go back to work Monday and have a whole lot of stairs to walk up a few times a day so Friday I'm going to try stairs. If I can't I can't and I will just see how I'm doing. Looking at everything in a new light and being positive. Thanks for the advice I will take it

I did it. I am not banded. Yesterday was a tough day. I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't sleep. But the morning I just went and laid on my back in stead of sitting up. I also took my pain meds in the morning (yesterday I was way to nauseous and wasn't drinking). And I slept fine. I'm feeling ok just a little sore. I took my Vitamins and am drink some grape juice mixed with Water. My stomach pains comes in waves, is this normal.

Hard to understand if you are getting banded. Or perhaps changing something? Good luck on all

[stay75 10]

I was banded yesterday as well! I am taking a week off of work...mostly cause I wanted a break. ???? I've eaten several Popsicles and some broth. Overall, feeling decent. The gas pains suck! I went for a nice walk this morning. We can rock this!!

I have been trying to drink my Protein Drink but I'm so not thirsty or hungry. I'm a teacher and what kind of sucks in this is I was hoping to have the surgery monday so I would have had the week off. I go back Monday but I see how I'm feeling. Maybe a popsicle would be better. My throat is a little sore
