Omfg, I'm so angry at myself, I'm supposed to be on a whoa strict diet this week, didn't lose enough on my pre op diet, they want 4 pounds this week or the 18 th is off. I was out with friends and was too embarrassed to order a salad when every one else had a hamburger. What on earth? Crap, I feel so angry at me. . .gah!

Lol, me too! Going to university hospital.

We're surgery buddies!

Remember too that food actually does have an effect on mood, a lot of us eat for emotional reasons. .. Not having that easy source of a mood boost is going to take some getting used to, other ways of coping have to be developed, kwim? Hang in there, it will settle down eventually! Hugs!

March 18! I'm in absolute denial. .. Maybe if I don't think about it, I won't get scared I'm 30, mom of a two year old, very excited to get healthy and get back some control over this body of mine!

Hello everyone! I'm not sure if I'm a February or a marcher, it's looking more like March. My insurance person said that she would schedule a date when I've lost half the weight I need to do for pre op. .. I need 8 pounds, so I've been doing self imposed protein shake meal replacement. The first week was amazing, 4 lbs! This week...One. Poop. BUT, I'm not sure I used the scale right. I think it wasn't zeroed. Yet, feeling so defeated! This is why I don't have a scale at home! Why do we have to lose weight anyway? The whole point is that we've tried over and over! Lol. Oh well.

Lololol! Disgusting!

Hey me too! Don't have an exact date, but estimate of late Feb early March!

I figure, it's not *exactly* a lie, my insurance requires the gallbladder or at the same surgery! Lol. One of my Co workers asked which side it hurts on and I just kinda laughed awkwardly (no idea, lol) I'm the worst liar!

Oh my goodness, Rae, that is truly terrible news! I'm sorry for the stress you must be going through. Big hugs.

Secret bypass! I love it! I'm having a semi secret myself, I've been faking gallbladder issues at work for a month now, lol.

My office said late Feb early March depending on what my weight does this week. .. getting petrified!

I'm doing something similar, two protein shakes then dinner. I've found that if I make my shakes with a little real sweetener they're a lot better, don't know if it would work after surgery, but the weights coming off really well for me now! What I've been doing is two tablespoons of my protein shake and one of quik. I can honestly say I'm not hungry for most of the day doing this!

yikes, now fully scared! yes, that sounds terrible, but thankfully somewhat rare?

Ok, what is the FOAMIES? I'm half amused, half frightened!
