Lovemeifyoucan

Hi! My name is Stacey I am 38 married my soulmate now for 6 years. I have a 20 to, 13, and 11 all daughters! I live in Grand prairie and work in Richardson. My date is July 31st at Plano presby with Dr Cribbins. I am currently 310 I have gained and lost thru the years my highest was 348! So about 150 to lose I am looking for people that want to go to the gym with me. I need the support. Talk to you soon!

I added you!! I'm hooter514 I think!!

I'm getting in everything and walking, I know it's just "the stall" everyone talks about, it just SUCKS! Please tell me I'm going to wake up in a couple of days and have lost 7 pounds!!

The thing I used most at the hospital was an extension cord for my phone charger. The wall was so far away this was a life saver!

I confess that I am sitting here on the day before surgery reading these confessions eating sugar free Jello and slurping chicken broth and wishing I had a double cheese burger from Wendy's with a large fry and a coke!!

Lovemeifyoucan lol. my friend just had a baby and a few weeks ago she asked me what she should bring to the hospital. i told her an extension cord too

Can I ask why exactly you would go against your doctor's orders intentionally? I get that liquid diet is no fun, but I don't see why anyone would pay possibly thousands of dollars to have their stomach cut out and then not follow the doctor's orders. 2 weeks of a liquid diet is honestly not that hard, and they make these guidelines because they are trying to protect your health and think this is the best way to move through this process. They have years of medical school, residency, fellowship, not to mention experience to base their instructions off of.
If you are not enjoying liquids, try switching flavor of Protein powders. Add jellos. pudding. Tea. Homemade Soup broth. Greek Yogurt. There are tons of things you could try..
Just saying...seems kinda silly to me. If you can't stick to a 2 week liquid diet, how are you going to have the willpower to resist more difficult foods later on? Exercise some restraint or at least consider consulting your doctor before just deciding to go off plan.
I'm not trying to be mean....but I read this and just went "....really?"

I'm in the car on my way now! We got this!!! See you on the losers bench!!!!!!

Ok it's our turn make room on the loser's bench!!!!! My surgery is first one of the day!!

I will keep you in my prayers! Are you just on pins and needles??? I am shampooing carpets just to keep busy lol

Eat Taco Bell. It is a natural laxative. Trust me, i ate some last night, within an hour, I was in my second office!

Every time I see the word "bougie", I hear "Do the hustle!" I think I just dated myself horribly!

At the doctors for my 1 week preop apt I can't believe that next week at this time I will be sleeved!!!! I am soooooo nervous and excited. I can't even image a skinny me, I have never seen her. I know that is crazy!! So far I have lost 13pds on the preop diet but I an hungry. Counting the days till Tuesday !!!!!!!

I found if you make yourself eat smaller meals before starting the liquid diet so your stomach shrinks a bit, it makes it easier to not feel starved on 800 calories a day. You CAN do this, just keep your eyes on the prize and remember this phase is only temporary. If you haven't already increased your Protein intake and cut back on carbs, that will help a lot as well. Good luck!

Day 2! I found 2 ready to drink shakes that are yummy. Since I flew for business I had to go shipping when I got here. Luckily I stay in a hotel where I have a fridge. I packed my lunch and off to a full day of training.!!! I remember when I first got my date and all I thought was that is so far away!!! Now it's less than 13 days!!!! The people that I have told are so excited for me and ask lots of questions. I am nervous and excited how are you all handling the wait???

I take different flavors. Choc, banana, etc. so different colors and I also keep a shaker bottle in my bag, all contributing evidence.....no problems so far, even when I travel to the Middle Est!

I remember my 5th day of the liquid diet, I forgot I could have cucumber and celery, oh when my mother brought me celery from the grocery store I attacked that stuff like it was a t- bone ........I just needed something to chew !!!!!

I'm July 31st!!!!! Congrats
