Thanks everyone for your well wishes! It means a lot to me. I really do need the positive energy. So nervous tonight, I'm shaking while I type. I've made the schedule for carpool, caregivers, lunches, etc. for my almost 9 year old DD. Given her a little extra TLC. I'm packing for the hospital and trying to get the bills paid (it is the first of the month). Just trying to remember everything that might need doing, so I can REST! I'm going to try and take some before pictures tonight. I did have a lymphatic massage today and some Chakri energy work done. I think it helped, my head isn't pounding near as much! I just need to remember to relax and believe. My mantra to Losing Just Me: "Breathe, Believe and Be Happy." I'm going to keep saying it! I'll try and get my husband to post and let everyone know how it went. Bye for now!

Okay, miracle of miracles, I think I'm all ready and I have hours to spare! LOL! I'm going to try and post some before pictures. They're pretty scary and I would never wear this in public. Just got the swimming suit for the before pictures. I wear a size 10, but you would never know it from the pictures. Okay, here goes:post-218103-13813137124163_thumb.jpg

Karey, except for the tummy, you have a very young looking body. After today, you will look young all over!

Wishing you the best!

Okay, we're leaving for the hospital now! I think I liked thinking about the TT more than actually going! This is taking a lot of courage. It really is a leap of faith. I'm taking some deep breaths and trying to get centered here. I guess I'm leaving... Deep breaths...

Karey, I so know how you're feeling this AM. Thank goodness there were hefty charges if I had backed out, LOL. Now I'm so glad I didn't.

      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.
