Leslie

YAY!! I am so happy for you! Where are you having surgery??

I hope all the surgeries scheduled for this week go well!! Congrats and speedy recovery to all those who have already been sleeved! Patience for the rest of us

I have now tortured myself for three days. I haven't cheated even once. Yet, the scale is not moving? I am eating between 500-700 calories a day and I walk 4 miles every evening. What the heck?? I am drinking tons of Water and only eating the Medifast stuff and a few sugar free popscicles!! This is rather frustrataing! Uuuuuugh! Leslie

Good luck with your diet! I am just settling in for the night with a cup of my yummy Healthwise Hot Chocolate. It really is yummy!!

Lots of us are getting sleeved on the 12th it seems! How exciting!! I am soooo ready!

Starting the pre-op on vacation would be soooo hard! Congrats for staicking with it. I have no cravings now and am feeling much better. I only have another week from tomorrow to stick to it and so do you!!

I think what TexasMom said is important.... we all lose at a different rate. Try not to judge your progress against anyone else! Good luck to you!

I guess it's kinda comforting that I am not the only one this has happened too!!

I am losing cause my diet is very low cal and low carb. I haven't gotten on the scale in a few says but my face is thinner. You loose cause you have to I think!

You look great!

Day by day is the only way to make it! Every day seems to get easier for me though. I hope it will for you too! I notice I am fuller on less and less. It's still hard to drive past all the fast food places though.

Glad it went well! Congrats!

Thanks ladies! I think I was able to laugh it off cause I am soooo close to my sleeve date and new life!

My surgeon has me on a Medifast/Healthwise diet. I can have 5-6 of their products a day but only one of the bars. I can also have unlimited sf popcicles, jello, and broth. Water and sf drinks too. I have about 600cals a day and less than 40carbs. Apparently my surgeon is sadistic. I will deal with it though cause he has a very LOW complication rate.

Yep, it sucks. I will tell you that I feel better today, on day 5 than I have since I started on Monday. I am veeeeery tired though. My diet is more evil than yours though. I am noticing just small craving but they are getting better. I think it's the detox. We will both get through it!! If you struggle, feel free to call me and we can cry together!

What a great idea! Thanks for compliling the dates!! Hope to hear from those that were sleeved today soon!!!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Leslie from Cincinnati. I am getting sleeved on July 12! I am soooo excited and nervous. My surgeon is Dr. Curry. Blessings, Leslie

You can get through it!! Keep focusing on your goal and drink as much as possible!

WOW!! Congrats!!

Yep, I wanted to say good luck too!

I feel pretty decent today. I made my little pancakes and have been full for a few hours now. I think I am in ketosis and I noticed a drop on the scale today so it is all worth it! 11 more days! I am hoping my client delivers on a day I am feeling good though

Good luck!

Yeah that woukd be tooo much torture for me to go afterwards, at least for a looooong time!

Funny you should mention the Melting Pot as that was my food funeral meal!! Shopping would be great. There is a wonderful Gap Factory store... not the outlet mall kind... in NKY close to where my hubby works. MAybe we could hit them too !

I am under 40 carbs and under 600 cals a day. That is probably what is making me feel fuzzy. I guess my surgeon is sadistic!! I went and exchanged some of teh shake things to easier to eat foods today. I am a midwife and I love it!! It does make mealls hard to plan though. Usually we just eat what there is to eat. I think I wil take a few bars (even though I am only to have one a day) and some soup that is easy to make. Thanks for teh suggestions! I hope she delivers soon. She was due two days ago
