Mindi Lou

I'm doing good. Had a cheat night when we got married...went to Applebees and I had one onion ring and a grilled chicken Cesar salad. It was super yummm. But I'm back on track and doing good. How is everyone else doing on here???? Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They found that through my ultrasound. He said I have numerous large gallstones that will cause me a lot of problems. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok I cheated today. I have lost 15 pounds....but went out to celebrate and had 1 onion ring and a grilled chicken Cesar salad at Applebee's. I feel horrible but satiated...lol. I also found out that I have to have my gallbladder removed when I'm in surgery. But he said he would leave it if I really had an attachment to it....bahahaha. He so funny

Ok I got all of my pre op stuff done at the hospital. Have a physical in the morning. Then getting married. I want to eat a burger or a pizza so bad just to Celebrate with my husband. Grrrrr Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 7 preop liquid diet....now that I figured out that I absolutely need to have my Vitamin B 12....I'm doing soooo much better. It really makes a huge difference. Today is my pre op visit at hospital and with surgeon. Tomorrow is pre op physical and getting married. So much going on this week. I hope everyone is having an awesome week!!!!

Thank you all. Hey I just wanted to throw this out there....at my support group meeting last night, I heard of a counselor for eating disorders....even though I don't believe I had one except over eating....I'm going to give her a call. I think it would benefit me extremely well. Just sayin...everyone has their reasons for our food addiction....I just need to get to the root of mine. And FYI...day 6 of liquids...super breeze!!! No kidding. I am doing great with the liquids. I'm getting closer and closer. Tomorrow is my preop testing and meet with surgeon. I got this!!!!

Thanks...I'm hoping in February. Nobody down in Missouri knows I'm having the surgery now. For that matter none of them know about me getting married in 3 days either. Long story...but I need to keep it that way. So it will have to wait till February till I can go down there. I will try and post a picture of the baby as soon as I get one.

Ok....deep breath...my daughter is being induced right now. My grandson should arrive sometime today. I wish I was down in Missouri to meet him. Support group tonight....my day 5 of liquid diet. Seems to be getting easier. Getting married in 3 more days. Snow on the ground. Yup....this is chaos!!!! Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jeanie and Patty...I'm so glad to hear that you have that support at home. My guy is worried too...but we are excited to hurry up and get on the other side. I did really well today with the liquids. I haven't cheated. Not hungry. Feeling great now. Yay.... Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
