My Dad passed away 5:20 sat morning.... Its been along tough week. He was so proud of my weight loss progress.. But now that I havent been able to eat for the past week Im having trouble keeping things down. I have been faithful with my vit. and protien shakes but I have lost 11 pounds this past week. Im hoping someone might have some suggestions to get my system but up to handle foods again.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I have a date Nov.2,2010. I just need to go to my pcp and get my pre-op blood work done on Oct 21st and then away we goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So I went for my last test for pre-op today my endoscopy. The doc signed off for the surgery he did have to take a few biopsies and said I need to stay on the previcid which is a bummer that was one of the meds I was hoping I could stop. Maybe down the road after my surgery. So now I go and see the surgeon on Oct 14 and get my date yaaaaaaaaaaaa

So I went to the cardio today to get my pre-op results from my Stress test and pet test. Doc said everything was PERFECT. and as far as any plaqe in my ateries its ZERO ya Im so happy and then to put the icing on the cake i have lost another 3 pounds since last week.

 Hi,Well  started this process 2 months ago and I'm almost done with all my pre-op testing the last one is the 29th for an endoscopy. So far all is great but I have this awful feeling that something is going to go wrong. Did any one else here ever feel this way I'm sure there are. I have done nothing but research on this every since my intro meeting. I have researched the Dr and the hosp. And I feel comfortable putting my life in their hands... I am on here 3,4 times A da and I get such good advice and encouragement from every one here. I just cant Waite for the day that I can stand at the kitchen sink to do dishes and not come out of it sweating so bad its like I just washed my hair. I look forward to this new chapter in my life knowing that all it can be is a positive experience after all these depressing years of being fat and not wanting to enjoy life. My goodness I just cant Waite to hear that  anesthesiologist say count back to 3... At that very moment well start a whole new life. This is the biggest thing I have ever done. And when I get to my goal weight The next biggest thing I want to do is remarry my husband in a real wedding gown!!!   I thank every one for all there advice and tips...

Im trying to get a grip on how much this surgery is going to change my life...I just joined this site and I have been reading other peoples stories...Everyone talks about the good things thru their post op. What about the bad things like being out a resturant and dumping (how did you handle that?) Im suppose to be having my surgery in Nov. So that means I'll be on liquids for Thanksgiving How do I get thru that? Im looking at the bright side of this as far as being healthier in so many ways but I also want to be real about this...Please share with me some of your HORROR stories Thanks so much!

Ok well I have been to the Psychiarist, Nutritionist and had my bloodwork done. I went to one support meeting so far as they are only on the third wed. of each month. I have the Cardiologist and the gastroenterologist the beging of next month then I have to wait all the way till Oct.27 to see the Dr and get my surgery date .
