Today was good.

Let me start off by asking what size bougie did ya'll get? My Dr. is using a size 36 bougie... does anyone know if this is good or bad? I'm not sure if it even matters, but I was wondering what others have.

I went to my exercise and nutrition lectures today. They were pretty much just rehash of what I have already heard or read, but I did get all of my questions answered. I guess it is good to review the material though. I mean you can't be too informed with this surgery. I love hearing all of the information. I am one of those people who likes to be overly prepared.

I start my liquid diet in 5 days!! aghh!! It is all becoming so real... I am excited and nervous. I think I will be fine once the sugery is over, although I anticipate pain. I just get really nervous thinking about all of the what ifs.

I am glad I am one step close to my goal. Only 3 more steps 'til surgery... pre-op fast, blood work, and pre-op appointment!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving... even if you can't eat bc you are on liquids.... at least it's time with family and maybe some time off from work!

And, here is shake recipe with a little holiday cheer!

*Pumpkin Pie in the Sky: 1 cup water + 1 scoop vanilla protein powder + 1 tsp. vanilla extract + 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice*
