I am very excited.  I will be leaving about 4 am in the morning.  Check-in is at 8:00 am and surgery is at 10.  Everyone is ready to go....Things are done...like... dishes, laundry, shampooing the carpets, meds bought and packed, chap stick, lotion,socks, robe ect.....all packed and ready for this to be here and over with!!!

I wrote a letter to my family and all my friends for the "just in case," I know many people who will be praying for me as 10 am rolls around.  I have cried, laughed, Loved...getting here to this day. 

Only my husband is going to the hospital with me, my Mother-in-law will take care of my son. 12 Days ago didn't think I could make it this far just living on shakes, sugar free popsicles, Jello, and clear liquid soups.  I am glad that I found this forum....it has helped me to Blog when I can and keep up with my W/L.  I am making friends too.  Thanks to all of you who have commented on my posts. I am really grateful. Blessing to all. 

I am almost there....Thursday is the big day.  I would like to have this behind me, but not there yet... My nerves are getting to me.  I am scared and excited at the same time.  I have my support in place.  I am doing better on drinking my protein and water.  Is there any advice that I can have to take with me when I am packing my bags for the hospital. We are expected to stay only one night,(thats with out complications) Hoping for none, Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I'll post after surgery, cause this week is going to be very busy t getting thinks in order.....Whos going to watch my son, make sure he has his medications, make sure he is getting to school, also whos taking care of the dogs, ect....

Thanks for your support

I am feeling better today.  I am still drinking ,well sipping them now, 2oz at a time, my protein shakes that is . I am glad that I found this site,thanks to my husband. I have combed the forums and read plenty.  I know this is what I want to do no going back. Its a life style change for me and my family and they are very supportive.  It is getting closer and I am nervous, excited, worried, ready for surgery to be done with.... so I can get back home and kick some weight off, and to have the hard part behind me. I want to thank my Mother-in-law, husband and son for putting up with my ups and downs along the way and am thankful that you all are part of my life.

I am having mixed feelings about the surgery all of a sudden.I don't know why???I am set to have surgery April 4, 2013.  I have been through the works to get this far.  I have been on my liquid diet for almost a week now and I still find myself craving foods.I am drinking 3-4 protein shakes a day. I can drink 11 oz and still be hungry about 15 to 30 min later.I am still cooking for the family and it is really hard not to eat with them. I have tried to drink before I make their food and I have tried drinking with them.  Its just hard for me....I have stuck with it thanks to myself and husband and mother-in-law(who has had her gastric bypass 2 years ago..)I am going to drink only two this week to see if it helps me to shrink my liver That's why I am on the Liquid diet until surgery. Another thing that has happened to me as I have started my liquid diet is ....my cycle has never stopped I started Feb 26 and am still going strong. I have heard that this might happen.....but to me ???yeah right.....but it has and I am tired of it .  My day shall come soon to stop.  LOL Has anyone else had this problem???
