still no word from Jes...? She said she'd have Marika txt one of us when she got out of surgery - sure she's just overwhelmed by it all.

Yep, Nicole - nothng else to do but sit on this computer. get up, walk, sit back down, get up, walk, sit back down.... blah blah blah.

I'm still waiting for the shower - hubby wants me to wait for him so he can help.

I got on line to check out my appts and the first one I have with robin is the 29th... thougth I was suppose to hear from her 2 to 3 days after sugery to move onto full liquids.... Not all that hungry, all I really want is popsicles & Jello - had some broth last night but wasn't really into it. I would like some applesauce though and maybe some cream of rice - just something with a little more flavor.

Still no gas pains!

Riley jane - I took some liquid tylenol and I think it helped out cuz I can move around from side to side a little better without feeling like I'm being stabbed over & over again. the incisions are starting to sting a little but nothing to write home about. All & all I think this is a little easier then I expected it to be...

I have a friend - brentinLA who emailed me that he was having surgery on the same day and I've been emailing him for the last two days and got NO response... Hope all is well Brent!!

Jes, really want to hear from you all - probably still napping at this point LOL

I don't have it, Nicole but maybe I'll text jes to see if marika has her phone.... what do you think? too soon? I wasn't up to texting or anything till I got home and settled - I was home around 1 so maybe we should wait till then???

Candra I had a hiatal hernia too, and I was STILL out in 45 minutes . . . . . those guys are super-speedy!

I didn't even think to take my phone in with me - but then I didn't know you guys then so who would I have called. Dr. Im called my dad on his cell phone (he was reading somewhere) and my dad called my mom.

Nicole - my kids loved Barney - I knew all the songs. I've actually seen the Barney Live show three times at Arco Arena - and the Wiggles twice. Lucky me.

I just finished my lunch - Protein Shake - actually tasted yummy to me. I was really starting to feel droopy before drinking it. I've had 32 oz of Water so far and am starting my third bottle of water - no need to wait since nothing in my pouch anyway.

Oh, yeah, Riley - I was in and out like speedy gonzales! I didn't even know about the hernia till my husband told me on the way home hehehe. I didn't bring my phone with me either because i knew my boss would probably call. he's so silly - he called my Aunt on Monday night to see if she had heard from me - I didnt tell her I was having surgery! grrr! Anyway - I'm sure all is well and she's just lounging in that wonderful green chair - boy i wish i coulda put that thing in my purse and took it home with me.

Nicole, my cat is trippin! she keeps licking me and drinking my Protein shot - is that gonna hurt her? She keeps licking the tops so it's not much but damn! I had to put the tylenol bottle outta reach because she keeps trying to lick the cup on that too. The worst part is she keeps trying to climb on me.

April - I don't plan on gaining any pounds back but if i do, you'll be the first person I call. I hope I can lose the weight like the rest of you ladies!

Donna, how's the subbing thing going?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
