:puke:oh... i know.

nerves are getting the best of me i think.

3 more days of working, then a day of pampering (somewhat) then it's the day..

it's DH & my 10th wedding anniversary today.... so today is special too and Thursday the day 3 years ago our DD was placed in our arms, so it's a very special week. :thumbdown::wub:

Oh my goodness...I'm so excited for you. I will be reaching out for some consultations soon. The thought of actually going to get all of this taken off is exciting and scarey. Best of luck to you. I cannot wait to hear how everything goes. Woo Hoo...

LJM: Do you Celebrate "Gotcha Day" with your DD? We have made that a tradition with our adopted daughter. We read stories abuot how she came into our family and how happy we were and we do an activity that she wants to do. For the last 3 years it's been going to the Dinosaur museum. I'm hoping this year it will be somthing different! Glad you have lots of good stuff going on to distract you! I think it's important to start re-framing the surgery into as many mental postives as possible. I've starting saying things like, "I'm going to be healing." instead of "I'm not going to be feeling good, or I'll be in a lot of pain.", etc. I'm trying to picture light and love over my body. I think it will help. Maybe I'm just weird. At any rate, your going to be smoking hot soon!

karey,

we usually go to dinner and we then look at our china pictures. sometimes she wears her silk dresses, sometimes (ok, most times) she just doesnt want to and we dont force the issue. we try to keep it low key and it just be about her. im worried that this year it wont really be about her and that makes me sad ... :)

im trying to stay positive and not think im gunna croak on the table (see, there i go again...) ok ... starting NOW, positive healing thoughts. we're gunna be fine. we're going to heal well and yes, look smokin hot!!!

LJM: The doctors are going to take good care of you. It looks bad for them if their patients croak on the table! LOL! Try and visualize how you're going to wake up, look around, and think: "I'm alive and I think I've been hit by a semi!" How's that for positive thinking! LOL! Breath, Believe and Be Happy!

yup ... i've heard that semi comment before... but that's ok ... i'll heal fine and then go up to see DH's parents and really freak them out !! LMAO.

they know i've lost some weight, but no clue how (nor will they ever know), nor do they know about the plastics ... so next time his family sees me, i'll be a 'normal' maybe in their eyes... 'normal' for them i think is 5'2" 100 pounds and Chinese... so not really normal to them... :):smile2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
