Hey guys.... Just found that the app was moved. Haven't chacked-in in a while. Got a call from the hospital today, registering me. let my store managers and all my teams know these past few days of my up coming surgery. So things are starting to get real! I have my pre-op appointment on Dec 3rd, and surgery scheduled for Dec 20th. I am so happy to be having the surgery. I have been smoke free for 23 days. It's been tough, really tough. But it's getting easier, No more nicotine fits, which my kids are happy about. I was miserable the first week! I can't wait to be 100% more healthy! I'm trying.

I'm nervous too but I think it's more a healthy appreciation for the seriousness of our decision to embrace this journey. The discomfort we will experience for a short time only leads to a lifetime of realizing the dream of healthy living. God has a purpose for our lives and He wouldn't lead us to this point if He didn't have great plans for our life ahead. Stay focus and keep your eyes on His purpose for your new, thinner, healthier life! God bless, Sandy

My surgery is December 11th. Endoscopy Friday and one more nutrition visit for all my post op instructions (as if it hadn't been instilled in me 1000 other times)! :-) Super nervous but I had an hour long interview over the phone with one of the nurses that will be at my beacon call in the hospital and she basically said to just free myself of worry and let it be. Eekk 20 days, fellow 12/11's!

YEA BUDDY!!!! Just got my surgery date. December 18!!! I completed all the tests and medically supervised diet, got all my clearances - finally, that took 8 months because sleep test slowed me down by a month. My surgeon's office is going to submit all to insurance tomorrow and barring any last minute obstacle I am set for December 18. Dr. Paul Thodiyil is doing my surgery at NY methodist Hospital. He is doing it laproscopically and with robotic assistance it's called DaVinci Surgery. I am so psyched. The day before surgery I am going to take some before pics and all measurements - I want to document my entire journey. I feel so blessed to be on this journey!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
