WOO HOO I was cleared yesterday 4 surgery, my heart is excellent and everything else looks great!!

I am finishing day three of Clear Liquids and it is truly no fun.......I am so sick of broth and Jello and I hate Jello to begin with,.......LOL

Friday cannot come quickly enough for me....it seems like I have been waiting so long.

I am having diarreah on this diet though, and that also sucks big time since I am still working.....LOL

I will work clear up til surgery.

How is everyone doing that has already been banded this month? Longhorn, Vanessa? you guys doing alright?

It was a little tough going back to work today. I wish I had cancelled tutoring and just taught my one class. If you have a job where you mostly sit at a desk, especially with a little privacy in case you need to put your head down, you'll be fine five days after surgery. But I had to go from table to table, tutoring students in math and it wore me out more than I expected. Then I locked my keys in the car at a stop on the way to my class and by the time I got that taken care of, it was too late to get to class so I had to cancel.

I teach three classes tomorrow but I have about 2.5 hours between classes when I can rest so I think I'll be okay. I'm probably going to cancel tutoring on Thursday to give myself one more day and then I'll have Friday, Saturday and Sunday to rest up some more.

I hope all are doing okay!

Kristin - I am happy to hear that everything is cleared for surgery Friday!!

I am feeling really good! I went back to work yesterday and felt Great. I got a little tired towards the end of the day but other than that it was a breeze!

Vanessa and Longhorn so glad to hear that you both are back at work and doing great!!

That is such a positive sign for those of us left to undergo the banding. I am so ready, this working while on clear liquids is so hard I had no idea how hard...LOL I am doing great though.

I know I am losing lots of weight I just don;t know how much cause I am not letting myself get on the scale until Friday.

I find out tomorrow what time the surgery will be on Friday and I will be back here to post when I can.

Keep smiling and loving the band ladies!! I think you both are doing awesome.
