    elynnmo got a reaction from kll724 in my new favorite for liquid week...   
    Swansons now has flavor infused broth... I bought the Mexican tortilla flavor, and it was awesome! All the flavors of tortilla Soup without any chucks! It was so delicious, and has a great spice kick. I can wait to actually cook some chicken in it when I get to solids. They also have a Chinese hot and sour flavor, and one other, but I don't remember what it was.

    Well, i was just banded today... I'm starting at 260, but I'm down 19# from the pre op diet. I am 5'6". I have two goals - one that is my "safe" goal and one is my dream goal. The safe goal is just to get below 200#. I think I have this because I'm afraid that I won't make the dream, and i don't want to be disappointed. But my dream goal is 145#. That would be lower than I've been since about middle school.

    elynnmo reacted to redrenwoman in Telling your job   
    At first I was reluctant to tell anyone except my boss and a close friend at work, and then I thought, "what the heck, its about me this time!!". I told everyone on my FB page as well, starting with the statement, "I know not everyone will agree with my decision...but surprisingly, I have had an overwhelming show of support. I was banded on 8/1/13 and also had a bad hitial hernia so the most pain is from that. I even started my 30 min of walking the next day! I have decided I don't have time to worry about what everyone else thinks, I finally did something for ME!! Go ahead let your boss know and anyone else you choose, you will find there are some naysayers, but I look at it this way, before they try to clean off my porch, they need to worry about their own first!!

    I've never been nervous about a surgery before, but I'm freaking out a little about this one. Don't know why. Maybe because such a massive change goes along with it. Maybe because my stress level was thru the roof because of a close friend that flipped out over me having it yesterday. Maybe cuz I just don't feel well having been on this pre op diet. Whatever the reason, prayers please for calm and for everything to go safely and smoothly.
