I would keep your job let some time go by till you are offered more vacation, do a damn good job and then do the surgery. The Dr will understand you need to postpone for a few months. IMO!

Just remember you did this for you!! A healthier you mind and body. None of those people will be there when you pull on a pair of jeans and smile because they fit!! You are making progress and even though the comments are sometimes rude, just remember they NOTICE so that means you are a rockstar and you are doing something right.

kparker0501 commented on a comment on a blog entry in A funny thing happend while I was loosing weightYou are soo funny! I am soooo with you girl! I am from CA and BBQ'ed hot dogs of all things and wanted to eat them soooo bad. I even went as far as taking a bite chewing it up and spitting it out. It is almost torture sometimes. I am only a few weeks out and I am hoping it gets better/easier. Good luck! Stay strong.

Ha ha ha! Isnt is so funny that I can not lose weight so I opted for surgery. But I have to lose weight first, lol. 18 Pounds is AWESOME! I will hopefully be behind you soon. I am going to GNC to get some ZeroCarb Isopure tonight. I am gonna just put myself on the diet.

They told me to lose 5 pounds and I swear I CANT !! I think I would be better off to do the full liquid diet. You are doing great PP on your weight loss thus far.

I am not on a liquid diet either. I was just told to lose 5+ pounds. They said IF I could not do it on my own, then and only then would I be required to drink shakes only 1 week preop. I guess every DR is different.
