Hey! Not doing too great on the eating here lately. It's college finals time so probably eating some things I shouldn't! But I've been doing pretty good about making healthier choices, not snacking, that kind of thing. Agreed! If I could have surgery tomorrow, I'd do it in a heartbeat! lol. I meet with my surgeon on Thursday & then I meet with my dietician & nurse again the week after I think, and then I'll start on the 10-14 day "pre-op" diet. I figure if I can make it through Christmas, I can do anything! Keep up the good work!

Lol, yeah I can imagine it must be difficult to workout with a one year old, though pretty soon chasing her around will be a pretty good workout! Right now I have about a dozen sample packs of Nectar Sweets that I got from the hospital pharmacy for free! I have chocolate truffle, vanilla bean torte, and strawberry mousse - so far I've tried chocolate. Mixed with milk it tastes just like chocolate milk! I will have to look into fusion, though. One of the other things my dietician suggested was the no sugar added Carnation instant breakfast, which I think I will try since it's cheaper. I'm hoping to lose 140, which would put me around 140, but we will see! I guess I'm just worried about making sure I eat right post-op because being at college I'll have a strange schedule, at least that's my main worry right now. I just want to slide through those first six weeks!

Hi! I'm glad there's someone around who will be so close to the same surgery date! I'm as prepared as I can be, I think. I've been making the diet changes as much as possible and I meet with my surgeon again next week so he can look at my labs and everything. It feels like I don't have much time to workout since I'm a college student, but I think I get quite a bit of walking time in, haha! I'm psyched to get to January to start my new life!
