Ready for phase 2, makin' me crabby

Ok - enough of this liquid diet and no band stuff. I want to get this show on the road. 5 days to go. 5 days and counting... Luckily, only 1 more day at work. Yeah right - It's all going with me to the hospital. :faint:   I'm also hungry. Doc said to lose 17 lbs before surgery. Goodie. Here I am still trying to lose that damn 17 lbs. Same 17 lbs I've lost and gained who-knows-how-many-times-before. Pain in my rear.   Not only am I hungry, I had a client absolutely get creamed in court t

8 days to blast off, or, 8 days to lapband

Yup, I’m hungry. Ok - I’m human and can’t live on excitement alone. Had a big weekend food wise - 2 scrambled eggs and dry toast on Sunday moring. It was wonderful. The eggs were so fresh they tasted sweet. Only lost 7 of the 17 I’m ordered to drop. I’ve got another week to go - maybe another 5 will fall off (does anyone believe in magic?). That gets me close to goal. I’m going to have this surgery, if it kills me. Of course, my cardiologist said it will kill me if I don’t have the surgery.

Evil-step mother

My evil step-mother (aka depression because bading was postphoned) got on her broom and flew away. I have a new banding date. 10/23. Even I can diet for 2 weeks.   Interesting about needing to lose weight pre-band is that I don't care if I diet. Trust me, after 35 years of diets, I hate all of them, and I hate the self-loathing that accompanies diet failure (either falling off the diet, or gaining the weight back lateron). Ok, I can do this. I can do anything for 2 weeks. This is unlike any o

Waiting again

Just when I thought I was going to meet the lapband of my dreams, my evil step-mother came in and ruined everything.   I called my MD today and discussed the pre-op diet. I even called 2 days ahead of schedule. I was told that I need to lose 17 lbs before surgery. Ok, but I don't think that is going to happen in the next 9 days.   Good by, Friday, October, 13. Hello, sometime later this month. Bummer. I am not happy. Things could be worse.

Two weeks to my band.

I've waited 20 years for this, I don't know if I can wait another 2 weeks or not! In 1985, I was the first woman promoted to the position of Senior Vice President with my former Wall Street employer. For 10 years, I had worked an average of 60 hours per week and no less than 6 days per week for this promotion. I moved when the company asked me to, so I moved four times in less than 6 years. I dedicated my life to my career, and it paid off. At this time I was a size 14-16 and continually fi
