Work, Haters And Motivators

i wish yesterday was my last day of work.... Those people are stressing me out!   A coworker of mine yesterday asked me when surgery was (I've only told them I need to get my lapband corrected....they don't know I'm getting the sleeve!) so I told her it was next Tuesday.... In a rude attitude, her response was "so your getting the lapband removed right? Because I don't see why you can't lose the weight with just diet and exercise!"   breathe Tiffany........breathe........wooosah!!!!! Woooos

Waiting

waiting for surgery to get my sleeve on.... I'm nervous! I'll be taking before pictures on Sunday! wish me luck!   surgery is August 21st Pre-op is August 13th pre-op diet starts Thursday!   *my doctor finally told me that I'll be on a puree diet 2 days (with salmon or chicken for dinner) then a liquid diet for 4 days before surgery! Starts Wednesday!
