June 30th Surgery Date

[cybergirl5710 22]

@LivingProof. Great to virtually meet up! How are you doing--what about one week post? I'm in Douglasville. My surgeon is Edward Lin at Emory Midtown. I think he's great also!

So much to do at work, but I hope it flies by. EGD tomorrow. Preop Thurs. So tired of these Protein shakes and nasty breath. Thanks @@tiredmama!

tired moms thanks so much for keeping up with all of us! You are a great support and cheer leader. I started my diet on the 20th my surgeon has the clear liquid with protien shakes for the preop period ... After 3 days I am down 9 pounds...lol. Getting close very excited! We are all going to do great.

I can't believe we are in the single digits now. Wow! At first the time was crawling by and now I just feel like this week will be over before we know it! Starting clears today. I'm down 20 lbs so far. My facilitator said that I may see a stall this week but I'm ok with that. My goal was to lose 20 lbs pre op and I made it!

Pre-Ops done and second day of clear diet. So far so good.

I'm struggling today folks! I'm out of town at a work conference and was good girl and brought all my foods. But not being able to eat them right when I'm hungry and having to wait for breaks...plus everyone around me eating real food IS KILLING ME!!! Monday can't come fast enough!
