Your welcome

So i have my upper GI on friday and i'm nervous,As i dont know what to expect.Is it going to be painful? Is there anything that i need to do before hand? They didn't really tell me anything,I'm i suppose to be NPO before hand? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats on getting your date,I know that you must be excited...Doing the happy dance with you.

I'm pre op and I'm in that same category,I sometimes find myself needing to having something on my stomach and strangely enough i fall asleep as soon as i eat..Bad habit that I'm trying to ween myself off...Now when i get that urge i get a big thing of water and full myself with that and i force myself to go sleep.

I say go on the trip and enjoy yourself.In five weeks your body will most probably be smaller anyway....Don't be afraid to ask for a seat extender,This is just part of your journey before you know it a seat extender will be something of the past.When i last traveled i went to Arizona via jet blue(love them) and i asked for an extender and i was not embarrassed at all because they deal with it on a daily bases and i took control over by not being embarrassed.

Wow,Sound like you handled everything pretty well.Congrats on being on the loser bench.I'm glad that everything went good and that your home safe and sound.I can't wait to see your progress.

Wow thats awesome,Keep up the good work that you are doing.I can't wait to be sleeved and then to start dropping sizes.

WOW!!!!!! That's that first thing that comes to mind.You look freaking awesome,You really have done an outstanding job.Keep up all the amaizng work.

I work over night and this is my day off but whenever i go to bed early this is what happens..So i figured since i'm up might as well get my daily chores out the way and do a quick leslie samsone work out.

I went to  bed early  and i've been up since 4,So i figured i'll get up and check out the board,Then i'm gonna do some cleaning and try to work out before 7.

Guilty...Same here while i was on vacation i spend most of my time on OH.I came home this morning from work and i usually log on to fb but i went straight to OH..This is my new addiction...Hi my name is Everchanging and I'm addicted to OH....lol

I  totally agree with you,I've started to journal again because that has help me with my wanting to eat when I'm bored....I have my first visit with a therapist Sept 8Th and i plan on doing a couple session before my surgery and i plan on doing a couple session after surgery.When i first started researching surgery i started to look at myself and tried to figure out what has gotten me to over 460 pounds.I've pin pointed some of the issues and have dealt with them but its not going to hurt to have a little more help.

If you go back a couple of post,from yesterday there was an excellent  thread that talked about how to get in that much water...It was really insightful,Idk who posted it but it was really helpful especially for someone like myself who is still pre op.
