Thin Within

Woo-hoo! Got moved up, be there at 6:30, surgery at 9 or maybe a little earlier.

Good for you!! I keep hoping I'll get a call today moving my surgery up. Lol.

I was thinking it may be too intense for early on. I think the trainer may be the way to go. I have stuff at home but I need the accountability. Thanks y'all!

So exciting! I am Tuesday too. Have to be there at 7:30, surgery at 11. Best wishes!

Prayers for a speedy recovery

I'm Tuesday and have been on a liquid pre-op diet since Tuesday. I am not gonna lie...it sucks! But it's doable. Hungry makes me hangry I've noticed, so that's not real pleasant. But overall, in a couple of weeks I am hoping to see the value in it. My Crystal Light and sugar free popsicles have been my saving grace. And I'm not a sweets person. Ha! The one cup of broth is good too.

You look great! Beautiful house.

Does anyone know if I can take allergy medicine in the morning I have because my allergies are kicking my butt this week!

Protein shakes (up to four), broth, popsicles, jello...

No, no full liquids or solids.

Yea, only second day on liquids but I sure am hungry! I know its from not getting all of my protein in but it's so hard to choke down. Lol

I know that vanity does play a part in my decision. It is not the sole reason. I do want to feel better. Being overweight is very hard on my body. My feet hurt all the time. It's a lot of work to carry all this weight around. And while I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure or anything else, I know that I will. Not only does it run in the family, but my weight getting out of hand is only a precursor to my health getting out of hand. Not to mention my most important reason...my daughter. She is built like her Father's side of the family and several of them are morbidly obese. She is young enough now that I still have a chance at setting a good example and teaching her healthy habits. But yes, I do want to feel pretty again. And be able to wear all the cute clothes that I used to be able to wear. LOL

Mine is Baylor Trophy Club.

I'm on the 29th and start liquid diet Tuesday.

I have wanted to do something just so I don't get constipated because I struggle with that enough and don't need any additional pain. But I was thinking an enema...nothing like 8 pills. That sounds crazy!

I start my one week pre-op next Tuesday and I want to rock it! So is there anything to help make these things taste doable? Any particular syrups to add in? Can we add in sugar free pudding for flavor? I'll take all the help I can get. I want to do fantastic!

That whole "last supper" mentality has affected me I guess because I have gained like 7lbs. I hate that.

Yea, he requires it as far as I know. But you don't go in until later at night. Your kids would probably already be asleep or ready for bed.

Looks like February 11th is the day!!! Now trying to get things ready. Think I have stuff for hospital. But what should I make sure I have done at home? Are there certain chores I won't be able to do for a while? Also, the preop diet should start 1/28, can you put sf pudding in Protein shakes to help with flavor and if so how much? Any other tips?

Just got moved up to January 29th. Start liquids January 22nd. Woo-hoo!!!
