gahhhh day after tomorrow I will be in surgery at 8:30 a.m.! I am so excited and soo nervous. Kate I didn't get an unfill, I am actually really tight and asked my lapband doc and he said I didn't need to get an unfill. The percocets that I have are small. I have so much to do today.. I am trying to keep busy so I am going to get my nails (mani and pedi) done (no nail polish per doc) but cleaned up. I have to go find some large sweatpants with pockets to hold the drains.. going to finish all the laundry and make a couple dinners to have in the freezer for my family.

I did have some sad news yesterday, my grandpa passed away. He has had alzheimers for years and really didn't remember anyone. It is so sad how that disease steals so much.

Please keep me in your prayers on Thursday!

I'll be thinking of you on Thursday. I'm sure things will go smoothly. You're going to love having a flat tummy and perky boobs again!:w00t:

Allie...so sorry you lost your GF..

It's been fun watching you transform. Looking forward to you posting photos of your final results. Stay strong, but have a pity party those first few days. Any of my friends that have had TT, breat lift, etc. have said anything they went through with the pain (some say they really didn't have a lot of pain...just that the drain bags were hard to deal with) was worth it. It should be considered the final step in your transformation. Good for you for taking that step. You will definately be in my prayers. God Bless

TOMORROW! Wow I can't believe that tomorrow I will be on my way to finishing what I started on June 20, 2008. I am so excited and nervous all rolled into one. I think I am ready lol. I have purchased every thing I might possibly need. I am going out today to do some christmas shopping. I was just thinking gosh what if it takes me forever to feel better and I can't get out there to shop. I want to make sure that I get something special for my hubby and my girls. I also think the more prepared I am the less likely anything will go wrong. I will try and get on here as soon as I can after surgery. I am hoping I have a speedy recovery. Please keep me in your prayers :redface:

I'm jealous because you're going to have the abdomen and the boobs of a 20 year-old! You'll do great. Your positive thoughts will help through this. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you tomorrow.

Good surgery and good recovery to you!

Take care.

      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.
