Hi :)

I live in Napes and have a Feb 09 surgery date..

I'm new in town and I'd love some contact with the outside world.

I'm 24...

I'm an elementary school teacher, I like dogs and crafts, I'm looking forward to changing my body.

I hate exercise but, this is happening so... idk what else to say :)

Happy Belated Birthday!

I'm going to join a cute gym in March on Livingston at the Collier Park there.. its like full of old people. I had a membership at LA Fitness before the surgery and went maybe 7 times over 4 months. Everyone there was like trying to have sex with each other... it was really awkward just being an average person there lol..

I got the sleeve and I'm very happy, I've lost 24 lbs. since beginning the fast a week before surgery. The surgery was SO painful I had no idea it was going to hurt that bad! Any my nurses were... busy is a nice word for it.

Been home a full week now, walking everyday, lol I've done this workout video for bariatric patients I found on youtube twice now. I feel like a dope jazzercising but, it makes me sweat! I am not a big exerciser either but, I I'm stubborn and will get out and do it.

No kids, moved back in with my mom last Oct and she has a dog. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'm subbing till I can snag a classroom next school year.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
