I'm registered

I got "that call" today from the hospital to make sure I remembered my surgery was on Monday and to get pre-registered. HOW COULD I FORGET? I AM SO EXCITED!!! I actually don't know why they pre-register you because when you get to the hospital, they register you all over again.

 

Today is day 4 of liquids and I swear I can actually hear sloshing when I walk. My pants are fitting much looser; I know have baggy but pants. I tried the cream of mushroom last night and it wasn't bad. I still prefer the cream of chicken and the chicken broth, but I have to mix it up a little. I can't wait until this phase is over - in about 3 weeks. OMG, OMG, OMG. I will make it work, I can do this. Heck, I survived breast cancer, I can certainly overcome my growing dislike or should I say hatred for soup, right?

 

According to the scale at the gym I have lost about 3 lbs this week. I spoke to a friend today who had gastric bypass surgery on 7/7 this past year and she has lost 105 lbs so far. I am hoping that in a year from now I am off all of my medication, thinner and feeling better. I am really looking forward to a good night's sleep. Hopefully the sleep apnea will subside once some of the weight comes off. I can't sleep with that awful machine.

 

Well, got to get ready to watch So You Think You Could Dance! Have a great night all.

Hi, you can do anything you put your mind to do. I was Banded on a Monday almost a year ago and in 3 weeks less than my one year I have lost 100 pounds. You can be just as successful as your GBPass friend. I am off blood pressure meds and no more sleep apnea machine. It is great. Follow the rules and it is so amazing how fast this year has gone by. Best wishes to you. imaluckydog
