I feel the need to share with my fellow Merry Losers!

So I'm on day 2 of pre-op and still alive....It's actually not so bad. I do well with limited options. I know everytime I look or even think about food, I tell myself you eat that no surgery....It works for me....

So today was another one of those miserably busy doctor days that I remember from back when I was getting all the pre-work done...This morning I had to go to the hospital for about 1 1/2 hrs for pre surgery tests (bloodwork, lots of questions, mini physical, meet with Anesthesiologist). This afternoon I had to go back to the hospital (surgeons office) and sit through a 2 hour educational seminar for all bandsters getting banded within the next 2-3 weeks. It was very informative, but I'm finding it difficult to hold down a very demanding job through all of these appts....tomorrow I have to go to my own doctor for surgical clearance...yet again another appt. during work hours.

The best part of all of this. I didn't come home and eat any bad foods or drink lots of wine and feel terrible about the scale in the morning!!!

As I was driving home I kept thinking - tonight would have been the classic go home, have 2 glasses of wine, and go out to a gluttonuos(sp?) meal with hubby....YAY for me I came home had a big glass of Water and a Protein shake!!!

A lighter happier me is going to be here soon!!!!! :whoo:

Unless you talk to someone in our shoes . . . the skinny world does NOT understand why we would go home and have the wine and food . . . but I for one know EXACTLY what you mean! I took this week off (before surgery) as vacation . . . to putter around . . . clean (which I keep putting off) . . . do the all day pre-op stuff tomorrow . . . and try to relax. I figured I'd be driving everyone at work nuts . . . so I might as well keep it to myself. Good for you! Keep up the GREAT work!

Ditto on the kudos!

Good job! Pretty soon we are all going to be banded and happy!

I agree - I have been missing so much work by trying to make all these appointments! I am going to get fired and not be able to pay for this band! Ha. No, Not really but can you imagine if I did! Oh no................... Lol.

I've had to miss a good bit of work too, but I have sick days and vacation days. My problem (a good problem???) is that I have too many vacation days to use now in this year. I will have to roll some over for next year. I was planning on taking a vacation week and using that for my surgery, but our office manager insisted that those should be sick days! I didn't argue with her ...

Score Candy!

Don't you love it when you come into work and your co-workers are baking cinnamon rolls...... Annoying. They smell so good.

especially around the holidays ... we get all these goodies that get sent in by clients, and our office manager puts a Christmas stocking on everyone's desk with candy inside. It doesn't make it easy when you're on ALL liquids.< /p>

OMG how can they tell you how to use your time . Our vacation don't rollover but sick days do so I have to take it or lose it and I am taking all vacation first than if I am still feel bad I'll take sick.

ours is just the opposite. You cannot roll over sick days, but you can vacation time. They tell you a LOT of things you can and can't do around here, but I get great benefits, and have been on my job for 10 years (going on 11) so I stay.

      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?

      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.
