I did the same thing. The last couple of nights before my surgery i didn't sleep very well. I was sleeved on Tuesday july 30. One of my best friends brought me a present while in hospital. It had Happy Birthday!! Nee part of my life!!

A new beginning is just ahead.

It's one that can be lots of fun.

The humorous moments started right away for me, too.

For a brief moment......as I woke up from surgery......I thought I'd gone on to a happy place.

My surgeon had three really attractive female med students in the room with him at all my final pre-op appointments. They were there in my room as I woke up. One of them.....absolutely stunning.....spoke as she smiled. I thought I was being attended by angels, lol.

At the two month point, my son demanded that get back to grilling. He said he was tired of frozen pizzas, fast food and microwave meals. I hit the shower, got dressed and went to the grocery store. I was wearing some Under Armour long gym pants. Evidently the weight of my car keys and wallet was enough to pull down my baggy UA pants while I was walking through the store. By down....I mean all the way down.....around my ankles while pushing the cart.

Funny times are ahead.

Enjoy yourself and make the most of getting lean and fit.

Thanks. I'm on here too dang much.....from phone....laptop, etc.

It's addictive......yet helpful for me. Life after wls is something that I need to talk about with someone. I almost never discuss it with folks outside of here because it's just something that they have no experience with.

We are all here going through similar times and can really relate.

It is really addictive and I have so many questions for pre and post op that could be answered on here. Most people in my life tell me, "why are you getting that, you're so young" they dont understand.

I'm in the same boat. One minute I'm excited next minute I'm scared sometimes I'm like yeah whatever, sometimes it's why did I wait this long. Then what am I doing. I have no real doubts. I am 100% ready for this but the emotions just roll.

I'm lucky to travel between now and Sept 19. I get to ride in a Tall Ship during a parade of sail. I might be able to go into a helo to take aerial photos of the event. I'm waiting game for final clearance in the latter. Staying in my favorite hotel for just about a week for work. Hopefully this will keep my mind busy for the most part.

I am having one big (ish) who cares meal at the melting pot. I've totally been craving this experience. I refuse to call it a "food funeral" because when I hit my goal and eating at whatever my normal diet will be, I should be able to eat a modified menu there if I choose to. Who knows I may not even want to.

Ack... it's coming soon. Lol

I'm in the same boat... my surgery is exactly a week from today on the 8th and I had a dream last night that really scared me... brought my anxiety up really bad. My husband just reminded me that its what I have been talking about non stop since March and that yeah its scary, any surgery is, but the benefits out weight those fears. He is right but I still find myself freaking out about complications and even death because I'm an over thinker like that lol. I'm sure once I'm out of surgery and everything I will laugh at how silly I'm being but until then I will probably continue freaking out because that's how I am.

I didn't have a "food funeral" but for my last meal prior to the liquid diet I had bacon wrapped shrimp. I will have them again but my wife will order them and i'll eat some of hers.
