  1. lmao haha u guys are funny. but nothing could ever make my mouth water for chef boy r dee. lol it tastes like metal!!!
  2. as anxious and excited as i am there is still a chance i could not have this surgery. although i have been approved by insurance and cleared by surgeon and have a surgery date. my PCP still has to clear me. i have an appointment with her at 1:00pm tomorrow. she is pricking my finger to test my blood sugar levels for the past 3 months. if they were elevated or if anything looks high or abnormal she wont clear me for surgery. (mind you i have never been diagnosed with diabetes or put on medication for it. i don't understand this because i have had my blood sugar levels tested a lot the past couple of months (twice). i just made the mistake of going after a work party where we had cupcakes and Cookies this was on october 19th before i even started my pre op diet . i did my bloodwork literally a half an hour after leaving work that day. i just hope and pray that God is on my side tomorrow and shows beautiful numbers. although i am on my liquid diet, i will be fasting with lemon juice and Water until after my appointment. i want a good weigh in weight and i am worried about the sugar contained in the atkins Protein shakes my surgeon has me on, i don't want to take any chances. i cant help but be worried but i am trying to stay positive and hope for the best. if anyone sees this. pray for your sleeve sister that this WILL happen for me and be the best birthday present to myself EVER!!!!

  6. whaaaat! i am terrified with so much anxiety. honestly im not nervous about the surgery im nervous about the healing and taking care of my 2 year old while me and my husband are separated right now. im scared of just everyday movement getting her dressed,giving her a bath, putting her in the car seat. she will be at day care all day and i have 3 weeks off of work which is good i just very ready and excited to heal and start really losing. pre op diet has me down 4 pounds so far but feeling weak with headaches.
  7. hair grade?? lol. that mixture sounds good!!! i plan on getting my hair braided this friday (sleeved next tuesday) i am very careful with keeping the braids in for too long because my edges always go thin. i have strong thick hair though esp after my daughter BUT in the middle its always lacking the moisture!!! i just hope and pray that my hair doesnt fall out., if it does i plan on going for a short rihanna cut lol

  21. HEY GIRL! i am day 3 on my pre op liquid diet and ive already lost 4 pounds?!! lol i weigh MUCH more than you so i wont disclose it here but it is very exciting to see the scale finally going down! i cant wait for our drastic changes. and we are getting sleeved on the same day! its hard to believe my birthday is the day before. i keep forgetting that. im preparing for hurricane Sandy over here. they closed my job and daycare today. it is nice to relax here at home my pre op diet i am drinking atkins shakes the doc says 3-4 a day. i am also allowed 2 things on this list a day: 2 oz of chicken 1 hard boiled egg 8 oz of greek yogurt cottage cheese (which i hate) im also allowed 2 cups of steamed veggies and 1 cup of raw a day. so this morning i had a hard boiled egg and my atkins shake. for lunch i will have chicken and cucumbers. then dinner another shake. wow its hard but its fun to see the scale going down. i should drag myself to the gym before the storm hits. good luck to you and i hope are surgeries go perfectly smooooth!!!!
