    So close I can almost feel the surgical pain... LOL Not much else is new.. I am trying to figure out my day on saturday need to do a day trip but get really burned out with only 700 calories... So I am not sure what I will do on Saturday... I have to take all the kiddies with me as well..
     
    Today I found a protein powder that tastes like lemonaide. It is pretty good I added extra lemon to it and a neste ice tea pouch and drank it. It will be a good alternative to the other protein shakes..
     
    I also want to buy a vitamix blender so that my shakes are awesome and I can have my flax seed and everything in there...

    Another day:::

    By michelleisaac,

    Well another day has gone and I made it through a movie without eating popcorn or drinking pop... I just brought in my protein bar... Got to watch NEw Moon. and yes it was awesome... We go to a theatre that is 2.5 hrs away from home. So I am even prouder of myself because I did not eat any fast food. And yes there was temptation huge my kids and hubby eat at Burger King so I just pulled out another protein bar... I am feeling kind of sick today.. Sneezing and upset tummy.. I want to be healthy for this surgery.. Only eight days to go and I got my surgery time which is 10:30 on Dec 2, 2009...
     
    Another good note I found some groceries for me after the surgery.. I got jello, pudding, soups, carnation breakfast I just need to find more flavors then just chocolate, apple sauce, and what else. I am getting excied to be in that stage because man I am tired of the same flavor shakes and protein bars.
     
    I also found centrum chewable vitamins for 50 plus people I am only 35 so do not know what the difference is in the vitamins... LOL Probably better then not taking any vitamins though.. I also bought chewable calcium vitamin d tablets as well. The other thing I still want to buy is the omega oils need to find a way to buy that that is not totally disguisting..
     
    Any ideas. Hope everyone is doing well...

    So I have officially learned why I did not want a bunch of people knowing about my surgery or people who did not support me. I had a friend call to tell me that one of my past co-workers is planning to go on a diet the same day I have surgery to supposedly prove to me that I can lose the weight with discipline. I am kind of feeling pretty upset about this.. Also this co-worker was stating I was getting my stomach stapled. I wish that before people opened their mouths they would gather all the facts and not just assume or make things up... I told my friend to let my co-worker know challenge on and in five years we will see where we both are. Why would me having this surgery have any bearing on now why she can lose the weight. Why not before the type 2 diabetes and the other health concerns.. Anyways enough of that.
     
    I am doing this for me first and foremost and then for my family... I maybe spending thousands but if it increases my life another 10 to 20 years then I would spend this money several times over.
     
    This band is only a tool I will still need to put the healthy foods in my mouth. I will still have to exercise.. I will just have an added bonus to help me lose and keep the weight off. If I had of succeeded with regular diets I would not be weighing 295 pounds.
     
    Anywhoo only nine days left and tomorrow my day will go fast because I get to go to New Moon.. Come on all you out there lets here a shout for new moon.. LOL I am sitting here now with my hubby watching Twilight getting ready.... LOL
     
    Anyways talk to you all tomorrow...
     
    PS.. I was said I was going to be honest on here so I have to admit I had two small pieces of meat tonight because I was starving... Doing well otherwise..
     
    I also want to thank all of my positive support people out there that dont think I am taking the lazy way out.. THis is still going to be hard work.. I will not let this become a negative experience for me.. Love you all...

    Well all is well. Definatley (sp) feeling tired and week today.. I may actually go for a nap... I did get our travel trailer cleaned out as we are trying to sell it so that we can pay part of my surgery off. I so wish our medical covered this procedure or insurance. Kind of crazy that they dont, it would save them money in the long run..
     
    I am sitting here saying goodbye to a lot of my past foods like popcorn and rice... I am actually craving healthy foods right now like chicken breast and veggies, or fish. Kids had turkey sausage last night... Yummy...
     
    I was bad last night and actually had a bowl of broth which I am not suppose to have till after the surgery but read on here that others are allowed broth, jello and so one with their shakes.. If my scale is right I have lost 10 lbs on this diet already guess we will see when i go in for my surgery though...
     
    I am seriously getting so excited. I keep thinking of all the things that I will be able to do.. I read on here how much people are down in a year. i will be working my but off literally to be one of those people...
     
    Hope everyone else is doing well also..

    Well my consult went great. I start my two week liquid diet on November 18 and then surgery is on December 2... Wow time is flying. I have so much I need to plan for. I have six children aged 5-10 so my friend is coming over to help with the kids and my hubby has 5 days off so he will be here to also help..
     
    I have also been doing a lot of thinking and when I eat something now I am like wow this is probably the last time I eat this. I have also been looking into exercise plans... Wow a lot of changes going to be happening over the next few months... There is also a lot emotions with it.. I feel so excited but at the same time nervous... Let you know how the liquid diet goes starting wednesday.. I will only be consuming 600 calories a day... That is not a lot... :mad2:
