Woot! Rock it out girl! Or off I should say! Such a great victory! I sooo get it. I am down 8 lbs on day four of the preop at 262. I haven't been here in this millennium! I'm dance with you!

Thx again guys. I'm fairing all right. I have dropped the cottage cheese as of today and it is liquid and yogurt until sat night then clears only for Sunday Monday and surgery day on tues. Mid afternoon here and I am focusing ion drinking water. I have been surprise how it really has been fairly easy. Maybe because I had built it up to ne this huge thing in my head. Ironically all my friends have been calling me everyday to go to lunch, lol. But I was thinking about what I normally eat and already am like wow, that was so much more than I needed.

Day three of preop liquid begins... So far it really hasn't been bad at all. Of course it has only been two days lol. My energy has been ok, though I do notice I am sore this morning. Had a lot of lifting granite slabs yesterday and my muscles are much more sore this morning. Could be age though. Lol.

Here is what I had today. 1/2 cup cottage cheese (ok I know) muscle milk protein shake and coffee for lunch. Yogurt late afternoon. Bowl of broth and a Greek yogurt for dinner. With some water throughout the day.

@findingme Thx for the comment "for yourself not to yourself" that is such a great mindset. I am gonna use that over and over

Thanks guys, the encouragement means soo much. I don't mind the protien shakes. I actually like several. I know which ones I like from previous serious workout periods. Does anyone know if cottage cheese is ok during this week?

Today starts the liquid preop. I woke up really stressing about this. I suppose I will see how te day moving granite goes on protien shakes.

Starting my liquid preop Tuesday. I only have to do 1 week, so good or bad I couldn't bring myself to do it early. Lol. On a positive note I have a large pot of broth cooking, it has been cooking for 3 days. Lol yes 3 days. I have been layering ingredients in order to pull out as much flavor and nutrients as possible. Bit is so good I had to remind myself it is for after surgery lol. Woot! Loser bench clear me some room I'm gonna need a large spot to start. But I will make room for the next guy really quickly.

Godspeed!

I am officially two weeks to go today! Wow, I have so much to do before I leave. Lol. Finish a major remodel project, do two granite kitchens, move to my new house, prep for my meals after returning home. And start this preop diet. Whew!

Thanks that's helps

I will be there with Dr Almanza the 10th of may. I'll let ya know.

16 days to go. I start my preop diet in a few days. :-\

Here is a major peer reviewed paper on wieght loss nutrition after bariatric surgery. it is very heavy reading but intended for the medical community. This is great information if you are willing to wade through it. Pasquini asmbs_nutritional_guidelines.pdf

Well everything is booked, surgery, flight, hotel, May 10th new life begins

Tarain: You are so right! I keep telling myself I have waited four yes. That four yrs gone!

The voices are at least excites at the moment lol

@empress Yes I am looking forward to Dreamland. BOLO'd Nope can't say I have heard that. Or know what it means. Now OREO'd I know :-)

@hip Rolled up! Yeah what's with these manufactures! Fat kids aren't taller just because they are wide. It not proportionate here! Lol yup rolled hm up or walked em off. . The absolute worse was in 5th grade Jordash jeans where the bomb! Well you can guess they didn't have them in my size, of course. (So my mom, bless her heart for trying.) bought printed denim fabric, made me Jeans and (1000 points if you see where this is going) painted (yes painted) a horse on the back pocket! Haha. I still remember deciding to wear them to not hurt her feelings. Lol. Yeah there were some bloody nose at school over those. Haha.

@happy1957. It's never to late to make a change, I have been 4 yes waiting for this. The wait can be very discouraging, hang in there, never give up sweetie! Soon you'll trade in those sails for a sleek jet ski!

I just booked my hotel, decided to roll the dice with price line. I stated 4 star hotel in downtown San Diego for 110.00 I am staying at the Sheridan hotel and marina! Their site lowest rate is just over $210 a night. :-) just keeps getting better. Woot! *extremely dorky happy dance*

I hate iPhone auto correct

That should have been war to ear, Hmmmm Freudian slip? :-D

My flight is booked! Arriving in San Diego may 9th. Gonna enjoy the night life before heading down the next morning. Whew can't believe it's actually happening!! Oh and I had a pretty cool morning. I was a lowes picking up material for a job and the cashier (whom I think is stunning, and asked out once not knowing ahe was engaged, and is no longer) says to me hey, are u losing weight, your look great! I smile said "ah shucks ma'am" in my best southern drawl, chatted for a minute flirting mercilessly, with her grinning eat to eat. Then walked out thinking yeah, just wait till a few months from now. Mwahahaha!

@starygrl. I feel for you, I worked for a bout 4 yrs in a korean context and sometimes the cultural difference is dramatic. Lol. It is what it is. Hang in there, ignore the cultural ignorance and enjoy the nang myung.
