1st July Sleevers

[home3253 27]

Hello July 1st sleevers! How are you doing? I'm completing day 8 of my 14 day pre op. My family and I will be leaving this Sunday, 29th for puerto vallarta mexico. I will say, day 1-3 was hell for me. After that, it has been manageable. I love the Premier Protein shakes strawberries and cream. I enjoy putting all shakes in the blender to make a shake. How are you people doing?

Wishing it was day 8. So far so good. Like you I had awful withdrawals as if I had a hangover. Been using nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle which I love with almond milk and ice shaken. Also I decided to let all my Fams and friends know. I did have one out of all totally against my surgery saying "I don't believe I'm that. It's the easy way out". She doesn't understand and I figure oh well I'm not needing to explain. Other than that I am very thankful you started this thread so we will all support one another.

Karla, Your boys are precious!

I had a really great day! I finished my MS in Secondary Education in May and today I accepted a position teaching high school English! I'm just so excited! Of course, that made my day fly by!

I also had jury duty and have to go back Wednesday to find out if I'm on a jury. Crazy day!

I hope everyone is doing well.

i have told 2 of my 4 sisters and my best friend. My parents do not know yet. My husband and daughter will be there with me. We can do this. As I type this, my family is eating chicken wings and shrimp fried rice. My stomach is making noise but my brain is saying NO. let's keep this going. Support is awesome!

I need to buy a scale and have no idea how much I have lost since I started the preop. Any suggestions?

Our scale just died, so we set a budget ($50) and went with the highest rates one at that price on Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think.

Back to jury duty tomorrow. Not too excited about it, to be honest.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I'm Scheduled for July 1st as well! I'm hating this preop diet! It's so hard to cook for my family and not be able to eat any of it! I wish the day would get here already!

Thank you. Jury duty is no fun at all.

Hang in there, we will do this. Just keep your eye on the goal, to get the surgery done and feeling your best once you reach the ultimate goal of health. We will do this!!!

Wow!! Well day 9 of pre op diet and I'm doing a lot better after seeing my dietician yesterday! I found out there is a few more things I can have than what I thought! I'm allowed low calorie jelly, and diet soft drink!!!!!!! And eggs!!!!!

This last week my diet has been a shake for Breakfast, a shake for lunch, and a chicken & vegetable homemade Soup for dinner! Blah....over it!!

So I made a vegetable frittata last night for dinner and it was the most yummiest thing I've ever tasted!!!!!

Today I have my shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch with some cucumber & tomatoe to chew on also! For afternoon tea I had a jelly, and for dinner I went back to my soup!! Feeling a lot better having a few more options now cause I seriously was about to eat one of my kids!!!! Lol

5 days to go....5 days to go.....we can do this people!!!!!!

Oh and I'm now 2 days and 8 hours smoke free!!!!

I landed a chest infection during the week and my GP has put me on antibiotics and told me to give up the smokes now or I won't be making on that operating table!!! Yes mam!!!!!

The plan was to give them up after surgery....but hey...seems like I'm giving everything up...so I may as well kiss smoking goodbye too!!!

My mood is slightly better...still starving but starting to get used to it. I had egg drop Soup as a change of pace and it was ok. I did eat a piece of plain chicken because I was getting really sick. I end up sitting in my bedroom to watch tv to stay away from all the temptations downstairs. This is definitely a test in will power!!!! 5 MORE DAYS!!! We can do it!!!!

Is it really only five more days? Wow! Our time is coming!
