[Water Nazi 61]

Soooo excited I just have to share!

Starting the 3 meal; B: shake L: shake D: salad & Protein today.

Kinda surprised they said small salad, I mean is it possible to eat too much lettuce?

Feeling strong and confident about all except getting the IV. Needles make me nervous esp those big buggers.

Going to try someones suggestion of lots of Water right til cut off time.

Yippee for me!! And everyone else!!

See ya on the other side.

Water Nazi,

What an interesting name you have on this site : )

 

Congratulations on your date. I wish you an routine surgery and an easy recovery.

 

I'm glad my doc didn't limit my salad size. Maybe they're worried you'll use a lot of higher calorie dressing?

 

When I was on my pre-op-I did the reverse of what I do now. Veggies first then Protein. I also drank at least 8 oz. of water before I ate. The water and veggies filled up my stomach and then the protein kept me satiated longer.

Hey Katcloud

I did a photo change to better reflect where I'm coming from. Just a Water freak.

I used to manufacture natural soap, back then they called me the Soap Nazi.

Prior to that the favourite show was Seinfeld. Who could forget the Soup Nazi! haha

 

Susy & Lori in the research stage. Remember to also research your after care team. Personally I chose Elias Ortiz and the A Lighter Me team as ALM patients have their own dedictated night nurse. She answers to ALM therefore has some "skin in the game". It was important (to me). 

Best of luck in whomever you choose. I'll fill you in when I get home.
