Five days to go until my VSG!!!!
Hope y'all are well this Monday! Anyone else having their VSG this week??
Soooo excited! Soooo nervous...and yet soooo ready! I went to the grocery store over the weekend to stock up on the post-surgery food (although I keep forgetting broth - gah!). Protein powder and vitamins are on their way and will be delivered this week.
I went bridesmaid dress shopping this weekend...and it was funny to be trying on dresses while thinking in a few months I'll (hopefully) need a much smaller size. My goal for the wedding I'm in (Feb 2013) is to be in a size 18...maybe smaller. Right now I'm a size 24 on a good day.
Have a wonderful day!!!!!

Thanks, guys!! 
I'm off to see my doctor pretty soon for my pre-op check-in...aaahh!! Finally getting around to blogging and keeping my hands busy. I would LOVE to blow past a size 18...part of me is keeping my expectations low so I can surprise even myself. It's been 14 years since I've been an 18...at least!
Blessings to all!

Huney, good luck to you....I hope you are now on the recovery end and feeling good! A. mask...good luck to you, too!! :) Hoping you have a smooth and safe surgery.
I met with my NUT today and it went well...very glad I had the prep and post-op booklet 2 weeks early so I had plenty of time to digest (pardon the pun) a lot of the information and ask good questions. My surgeon showed me another video of a patient's surgery, using a 32 Bougie. He's planning to show me my stomach afterward!!
I also got to meet with a few patients who've been out 1 month's time...both have each lost approximately 30 pounds! Also, the main incision looks pretty small (especially when comparing my midline to the biggest cut) as they both showed their incisions in the office. (It would have been a pretty funny sight for someone walking by the office and catching a glimpse of bellies.)
Today I was a little naughty and had my last burger, beer, and doughnut...although in separate meals. Not that I have any of them too often...but from here on out, only clean and whole foods! Liquid diet starts Thursday, but considering starting on Wednesday. I'm ready for this.
