A New Me

so I cant believe that my surgery is next thursday the 9th.. I started my clears a few days ago which has been really hard..On top of everything I had to have an emergency root canal on my front tooth... My infection was so bad it is in the bone around my tooth. My face swelled up to the size of a tennis ball with my eye completly shut..Talk about the worse pain in my life!!! I am on a ton of antibiotics and pain medicine.. I have been so nausous from the medication and not having any solid foods.. I feel awful but the dentist said my infection should be better by my surgery next week.. Please pray for me.. I have been waiting for this surgery for so long and have been so excitied. I am just so bummed about my tooth infection.. The good news is as of today the swelling is about 75% gone but the pain is still there..I need all the prayer I can get..anything that can help with nausea and not affect my clear liquid diet??

WELL JUNE IS HERE AND IS A VERY EXCITING TIME FOR ME.....ANYONE ELSE HAVING SURGERY THIS MONTH? HOW ARE YOU DOING??? IM HAVING MINE JUNE 9TH AND SUPER EXCITED....HAS ANYONE TRIED OR USE A GOOD PROTIEN POWDER?? I NEED ONE TO MIX WATER WITH DURING MY LIQUID DIET FOR A WEEK...IT TASTE DIFFERENT TO ME WITH JUST WATER WITHOUT THE FRUIT YOUGART...ECT...

Thanks everyone for the help.. Im glad that others experienced the same as myself...I am ready again today to try not to even think about drinking soda, I want to follow all the rules and change my lifestyle the right way..thanks again

Oh June 9th for me with Dr Fuller Scripps green hospital in la jolla...Its over two weeks away and super anxious..Congrats to everyone!!! Someone put, do you guys realize June is next month?? It seriously brings tears to my eyes, I want this so bad more than anything!

thanks everyone...I guess I will follow my surgeons orders and do one week...Im just so anxious and ready to get started!! I feel like I have been waiting so long to get to this point..

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow which Im sure I will get more info...But as I look through the discussions, how is it that some are doing a 2 week liquid diet and others are doing a 1 week?? I was told to do a 1 week but is 2 better??? does it depend on our BMI??

Thanks for the advice I did go to the grocery store and buy a few different crystal light flavors and I love the rasp lemonaid...I just hate the caffiene headache I drank a few cups of coffee this morning but it didnt take care of the headache once I bought the soda and drank it my headache went away.... Its so horrible, advil is going to be my best friend for a few days...This just shows this is one of the many obstacles I am going to have to overcome with this weight loss journey....Yeah liquid diet is going to be a challenege but I know I can do it!!

SO This is my first major obstacle...No More Coca Cola...Coke is my favorite thing to drink... I have been doing really well and did not have a soda for two days until now!! Im really angry with myself but I know my surgery is not till June 9th and clear liquid starts June 2nd But I figured I would give it a shot and just quit..Is anyone else in luv with soda like me??? Wut helped you to not drink it anymore?? I need all the advice I can get and tomorrow I am going to start again on No More Soda

Hi my name is lauren im 25 living in san diego.. I have been pretty overweight most of life except two years in highschool when I would run every morning and night..After that weight just packed on more than ever. Bout four years ago I met my husband and quickly became pregnant gaining bout 60 more lbs yuck.. I could feel it my back, legs, feet, you name it ache all the time..worst pain I have ever experienced. Which is pretty bad since I am only 25...My job working in the nursing field is even more difficult being on my feet for 12 hours and constantly lifting people throughout the day. I honestly dont know how I have kept my job..I have to push myself everyday to get up out of bed and move move move...Depression has also been the worst for me, I have a huge negative self image all the girls around me are so pretty and thin and pretty, basically not me. But I am hoping that will change with this surgery, I just need a little more help than most people. Im not like my friends who can gain weight, esp baby weight and just loose it immediately..... So my surgery date is June 9th which I believe is like 21 days from now..prob going to be the longest couple of weeks of my life.I am so anxious and just starting to realize that I do want this so bad more than anything.. I want to be happy, healthy, energetic to keep up with my son..There is so much I havent been able to experience because of this weight load...I am so happy that I can read everyones stories, this will def keep me motivated...more to come..
