First Filll --oops

Well, I haven’t been back to write for a while huh. I know, I am bad, but I have been dealing with this depression, in addition to a lot of school work. First, I am on my fourth week of my Master’s course. Yes, I know, I must be crazy, BUT, I know that in order for me to be able to pick and choose jobs, especially better paying ones, I need to get my CPA. So, I began again my Masters in Accounting and Financial Management via Online courses through the Keller Graduate School of Management school via Devry University. I am doing ok. The class is kicking my butt now, but I am enjoying it. I got my first fill on July 25. It was a little painful, but what I don’t get is why all of a sudden I am hungrier than ever. Once in a while this week, I found a very small restriction but BOY AM I HUNGRY. I am controlling myself a lot and I am drinking a lot of water. What to do – what to do!!! I want to start working out again. It gets a little hard, but I know my depression goes away when I do work out. Why depressed? I hate my job. Without going into details, I hate my job. I am looking and looking and looking and nothing yet. Did I say I hate my job!!! Anyway, hope you are all doing well!!! BTW – I am down to 245lbs. Officially lost 40lbs all together… Well, I haven’t been back to write for a while huh. I know, I am bad, but I have been dealing with this depression, in addition to a lot of school work.

Day one - pre-op liquid diet

Well, the pre-op meeting went well. Officially I am weighing 281.2lbs. I had my last hurrah this past weekend for Mother's Day and didn't quite have what I really wanted but as the french say "C'est la vie".   Today, I am starting the liquid protein diet. Dr. Washington told me to have 5 drinks per day, which is better than the 3 stated in the paperwork. The morning was fine and I am drinking water.   I did have one small black coffee with 1 splenda vs my usual large coffee with half and half and 5 splendas. It went ok.   I am cold though, freezing. Doesn't help that the air conditioning in the building I work in is on super high...ha ha ha...   Anyway, I hope to weigh myself at home and hope to get my measurements tonight and post it tomorrow. I hope to lose at least 20 lbs before the operation on June 9th, though Dr. Washington didn't give me a determination on how much I should be losing between now and then. I just want no complications.   Oh by the way, he is so sweet. :thumbup: I asked if I could go home that same day, since my daughter would really freak out by not being home (she did one time on a business trip) and he changed it to 7:30am vs 2:30pm. :thumbs_up:I am a happy camper!!!     See you tomorrow!

Day Two - pre-op diet

Well, here I am, surviving this liquid diet. So far so good. The only thing that I miss is the chewing. I miss the chewing a particular food. Like, last night, my parents made barbecue and mashed potatoes and boy it smelled so good. But I didn't have any - just my shake. :thumbup:   Here are my measurements from this morning:   RT CALF: 19.5" RIGHT THIGH: 30.5" RT BICEP: 15.5" NECK: 18" CHEST: 51" WAIST: 48" HIPS: 54"   I have a lot of work to do hummm....:thumbup:   Hope you are all doing well!!!
