Where are the November Sleevers?

I have a little crafty business making tshirts. I told my husband I will make new tshirts until I can buy a large! Then I'll shop!

I'm having my appt. Today with the dietitian. Kinda nervous and excited at the same time. My niece who is a nurse informed me she didn't approve of my surgery and their are never good outcomes. Really got me thinking. I've done a ton of research and feel I'm doing the right thing.

Now that is motivation for a shopaholic like me!

My surgery date is November 21st with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I sure wish I was having it done close to home but have to love Coventry Louisiana denials.

There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with your surgery both now and in the latter stages. You have to believe you are doing the right thing for you. I bet you have tried other ways to lose the weight like all of us have and were not successful. This has to be something you are doing for you.

Day 2 of my pre-op diet! I made it though day one but had a huge headache and went to bed early. Here's to 13 more days until the big day. Also my boss signed off on my FMLA forms so we are good to go.

I caved on the liquid diet last night and feeling like crap about it today...

I went over to my boyfriends cousins for his bday dinner. I ate pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn. When I weighed this morning, I was still down almost a pound from Saturday but I just know it would have been more had I not screwed up.

Back at it 100% today. Shaking it off and not letting one bad meal break me. I think I might have panicked a little because I picked up the loan for my portion of the surgery yesterday so it made it all that much more real!

My surgery date is scheduled on 11/6 and my pre-op liquid diet starts on Monday. This is getting real now.

Angierue - I start my pre-op diet on Monday and the following Saturday is my birthday. I am already planning my one cheat day for the occasion. However, it will include broiled fish and vegetables with Water. I figured I can still enjoy my birthday without going over board.

My surgery is Nov. 24 and my birthday is the 20th. The NUT always encourages a cheat day so I'll be taking advantage of it then....but I'm avoiding it now!

[ToccoraVSG 76]

It is EGD time, wish me luck!

[Go4itLori 47]

Thank God. It will be tough when we still have our current tummy. I am planning to take pictures, weigh and measure myself before the liquid diet and again before surgery. Then do the same every month afterwards.

I will be journaling in adding photos and measurements in a scrapbook.

It will be nice to look back at my progress.

Mine did not encourage a cheat day. At all! I've still got 8lbs to lose and I'm trying to do it before the 27th (but have until 11/4).

She gave us a Protein carb pairing diet that has really worked. I lost 9# in 10 days.
