Stressful Day....but I Made It Through!

[PEvette 297]

13 more days...today was really bad...a co-worker bought me a caramel nut candy apple (she doesnt know) and I said ahh gee thanks! and I sat it on my desk...I wanted to throw it away but I knew the kids would tell on me, so it just sat there all day....I picked it up a couple of times to play the bag but did not open it....I was going to put in the trash after school, but I was cornered by kids with pizza, asking me if I wanted some pizza a chips (they were having a afterschool party) and I politely turned them down, then I high tailed it out of the school....leaving the candy apple on my desk....

Now I'm thinking about that chocolate/caramel nut dipped candy apple, ugh....

But I am proud I did not break my liquid diet!!!

Good Job!! It will get easier the more weight you lose!!

Great job! You can either hope it disappears or take it with you and throw it away at a gas station or home

PEvette, I'm so darn happy and proud of you. It's got to be hard to do the liquid diet with all the temptation, bless your heart seriously!!!!!

We're here for you and I know you can do it. Sending big hugs your way!

Thank you so much everyone...at one point today, while smelling everyone's memorial day leftovers, for the first time I questioned why was I putting myself through this, my insurance refuses to cover WLS even when the teacher union went to talk to the board about it...the question I was asking was, I eat sensibly, I am mobile, I can get around great, until I stood up and both of my knees grinded and creeked (still after surgery on both).....then I went out and saw a cute little baby in the cafeteria (today is election day in texas, people were voting in the school)....I want a baby (2 babies) and I dont want my knees to hurt so bad anymore....and I DON'T have control like I "proclaim" I need this...

But that damn candy apple will be making a trip to the custodian area trash can in the AM...

Again, than you everyone!!

Oh I love that you have the right attitude and we're here every step of the way !!!!

Yea, Yea Yea!!!!! PEvette. You are really great. Carmel apples would be one of my many weaknesses and I greatly admire you being able to resist temptation. Carmel apples are only one of the reasons I am so obese. Keep up the good work. I will think about you when I start the liquid diet, because I know it is going to be really hard.

Good going PEvette! Today is day three of my preop and all I can think of since I came home from work is food lol. I ate as much lettuce as a colony of bunnies for dinner so I know I can't be hungry. Drank two Water and am feeling so tired. So keep up the good work. This is definitely a challenge. Tomorrow will be better

Yo go girl!!! PEvette, you rocked it today I'm so proud that you stuck to your guns, it shows me that you are going to be so successful with your surgery.

They have you started on your liquids early. We have the same date, and I don't officially start until Friday the 1st, although I'm semi starting early. We will have to connect around the 18th to check in on our progresses!!
