  1. Well less then 12 hours to go and Im scared oughta my mind.The worst thing right now is I have been reading this site for 6 months and never recall reading anyones horror story of the 10 ounces of Magnesium you must ingest and then spend the next 6 hours in the restroom in agonizing pain............For anyone who hasnt had the treat of this liquid pipe cleaner , Im warning you now .
  2. I woke up this morning and took a look at my under arms which I could swing and hit a home run with and was reminded immedietely why I looked into this weight loss option last year in the first place. I cant wait to be able to wear a tshirt and look and feel ok in it, I always wear a long sleeve under neath and even though its hot and miserable I have never dared to leave the house without one : Heres to new tshirts and summer time without a long sleeve shirt

  3. 1 month out

    · exoticheart · 07/21/2011 23:31

    Well Im one month out and feel amazing. I have had no pain inside or where incisions are. I just was told I can eat everything again except for red meat,pork,rice,pasta,bread and no grapes but everything else is fair game.....Still cant get in all my water and just getting protein from food so far, but since I can add fruit Im gonna try a protein drink with bananna in it and see if it tastes better.I have dropped 20 pounds in 30 days and feel great. Still dont exercise much due to my knees but sometimes slow and steady wins the race .

  4. The Journey

    · exoticheart · 06/13/2011 14:38

    Well just thought I would post what my thoughts are, they are quite short and sweet. I was thinking in December when I started this journey that this is going to take forever and why cant it be next week.............Well I will tell you my surgery is less then 2 weeks away and I cant believe how fast it got here. Soak everything in and try not to rush it , because by the time your surgery date is scheduled, you havent really processed all those emotions that come with it and they end up smacking you in the face all at once. Then you think your crazy, what am I doing. But when you read others blogs on here you realize its normal its just not fun normal ...........Have a great week
