Cajun Girl

I am on a no carb, hi protein diet for two weeks. Also trying to give up diet coke. I really like diet coke! O well, I think I am going to love being thin even more. I just hope I don't mess this up; I have already told everyone in sight what I am doing. This is such a big step, it is nice to talk to others who get it! We all know what it feels like to struggle with our weight and fail at every diet on Earth. We are getting a new start on the 2nd of June! Yeah! Best wishes!

Hi! I am Cajun Girl. This is my first post. My surgery date is 6-2-09. Just 2 weeks! Just started pre-op diet. No Carbs! Getting somewhat nervous as time gets closer. I don't want to fail again.

All protion shakes! Wow are you feeling ok? I have been on no carbs since Sunday and feel a little jittery today. I also teach middle school - last week - that could be part of it! You are so lucky to a best friend go through this journey with you. I am shooting for 100lbs and a little more would be cool!

Sorry, I am new at this. Must have gotten you confused with someone else. What are some good cajun dishes you are still able to eat? I used to live on Essen Lane -late 80's.

Cool! We should keep in touch. Are you nervous? I go back and forth, but mostly excited. I started walking today. Look forward to the day that my knees and feet stop hurting and I can do more. I need to lose 110 lbs. I am too young to feel this old!

I am from Morgan City! Right next to the gulf of mexico. I am alway homesick - Miss those cajuns. You sound like you have a great support system in place. My family is behind me all the way. What type of surgery will your daughter have? Dee

I am having my surgery June 2nd. How are you doing on the pre-op diet? best of luck, We can do this!

Thanks so much, I am glad to have a place where I can receive support and advice. Dee
