Dec 8th for me! Woohoo! 14 days and I start my pre op diet tomorrow. As for hospital stay time: my Dr said 1-2 nights with most people only staying one Happy dieting everyone

My Dr said he wanted me on a one day only liq diet pre op. I was expecting a lot more but happy that's it.

[HollyFriend 1]

They said 1-2 nights for me. And i have to do a 7 day liquid diet

I've started my preop diet today. I'm starting a week early, but I think that's for the best. This way I have some wiggle room.

I have 16 more days til my VSG in Mexico with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I am beyond excited! I took some time today to really dig deep and think of some non-scale victories. I think they are so beneficial because for my this journey is more than the number on the scale. Its about how I want to feel and the woman I want to be again. Im 31 yrs old and I feel as though I have lost years of my life yoyo dieting. I think a list of NSV's if not only motivating while losing but especially when maintaining so I can remind myself why i dont wanna go backwards. I had a coworker tell me that I dont need to have the surgery and I was highly offended. She is much smaller than me and has never battled with her weight. She does not know my stryggle and will never understand. Anywho... such is life... I'm sharing mine and I would love to read yours.

Hard to read huh..lol..let me try again

[Kimbella83 17]

NSV

[Kimbella83 17]

NSV2

[Susan909 52]

What a great idea. I get so caught up in the planning, prepping, classes I forget to dig deep and think about what I will be able to accomplish with the weight gone, beyond the obvious of course . Number one for me tho is being able to play longer, harder, goofier with my grand daughter whom I adore.

Surgery on December 29th. So excited!

Just saw this TEDx lecture on how to psych yourself into successful habits by keeping your eye on the prize. If you watch it, I'd love to hear your ideas for how to apply these techniques post-surgery. http://www.ted.com/talks/emily_balcetis_why_some_people_find_exercise_harder_than_others

[Bino 44]

Well getting sleep in December isn't going to happen. During the removal of my lap band yesterday, I had a minor stress induced heart attack. Now I have to deal with rehab and a new diet to get my heart strong again, before they will even consider surgery.

[Susan909 52]

Wow I'm sorry to hear that! You do all that you can to get your heart strong again.

Please take care of your self.

[Kimbella83 17]

Bino Im wishing you a speedy recovery. Katiebug I am having my surgery done by Dr. Elias Ortiz. I will start my pre op tomorrow.
