So I messed up my pre-op diet...fresh start today! Surgery Aug 14 wish me luck people.... This will be hard! Fyi. Unjury unflavored is nasty!

Awesome post! Gives me lots of encouragement..thanks so much.. Surgery on August 14

Yay Patrick!

At busch gardens and I didn't fit in to the roller coaster....Aug 14 where are u!

I lost my baby wolf ( one of his many pet names) in November and think about him everyday.. It has gotten easier. But still 12 years with my baby Casper were a blessing. I wish you the best at this tough time

I am scheduled for the same date ! Yay

I'm very happy for you such an inspiration. Congratulations on getting of all those meds!

Nice post. very inspiring

299 ..going on vacation on Tuesday lol so I be up a pound or 5 by next weigh in lol. surgery on August 14 2012

I got Ginnie/ahh bras knockoff from Ross.... 2 for 4.99 they fit like a dream I have them on right now in class...ladies you don't have to spend a tom on money on transitional bras..

Well how about going to Ross or marshals/tj maxx.. Bras are like 5 to 10 bux there.. Just to hold u over til you stable out your weigh then thou can buy the good stuff...

I'm August 14 and I'm super excited... Can't wait to hear how you do

how weird i was just thinking.. the same thing.. im full right now and my nose is runny .. lol

good luck !

Cool I'll be there on the 13th , surgery on the 14th see u there !!

Cool

Lol @ food porn.. I was flipping channels and got suck on food network... They made chocolate filled beignets...omfg .. I was so stuck a drop of saliva dripped out

Awesome!

I have to take a laxative 3 days before..I'll probably take mag citrate..

that does not sound bad to me at all .. esp. since ur going the liquid 3 days before.. do u have to add the laxative 3 days before surgery?

i think the arms 4 sure.. but the elyptical helps with that allot of u try to focus on ur arms while on it ..meaning .. just dont hold on .. acutally work them out .. its helped me in the past during other weight loss attempts .. and i plan to do it once i have surgery and am allowed to workout ..

thats wonderful chicagochic i hope u reach ur goal! what does ur nut say about ur revision? technically im not doing a pre-op diet cause im just doing induction phase till i go on vacation. ( i wanna fit in to a few outfits) but then i plan to go right back on atkins till i have to start my liquid diet 1 week before surgery.. its been hard but last night i tried on a few things and im starting to get the loose feeling in my clothes .. and that feels great!! I have a whiteboard that im using as a goals board .. with insprational things and my daily weight.. feeling good about it all so far.. lol but talk to me in a week when i havent had cheetoes.. its my addiction lol i cant wait til im 5 mos post op and need to go shopping for new clothes!! i always tell my self im gonna go in to debt when i get to goal cause im going to go clothes crazy!

the first few days are always the hardest.. but so far so good ..lceaned out my kitchen and all the "bad" things are gone !! i scheduled my surgery at 303 and im now 297.. i know its not much of a loss but its going down and thats the goal... i hope to loose 20 lbs by the time i go in for surgery in aug.. thinking of adding a ticker.. humm
