  1. I'm a hair stylist, & my surgery will be the end of February. I am now scheduling my clients appointments for around that time. My question is.... How do I let my clients know I won't be working because of minor surgury with out really telling them what I'm having done? I need to have a plan of what to say, or I'll just blurt out what I'm having done.
  2. I just saw the nut. yesterday, and asked her about this because I feel the same way. She said stop drinking a 1/2 hour before and then you can drink 1/2 hour after. I find myself watching the clock and counting down the minutes!! I am trying not to have my drink near me while I eat. I also have been allowing myself 1 very small sip of water after I'm done eating. She said if you drink while you eat the food passes through the sleeve too fast, and your hungry sooner. As that result you eat more often and don't lose weight as well. I keep telling myself " it is more important to be a healthy weight, that it is to drink while I eat". Good Luck!! Keep Practicing!! You Can Do It!!!!

  4. Liz, I'm right there with you. I am planning on having surgery around the beginnng of March. I have been trying to do well on my 1600 calorie a day diet, BUT it is really hard. I'm an all or nothing person, so when I slip up I really struggle to get back on track. I am trying to do 1 meal at a time, 1 day at a time. Right now I can't look at the huge amount I have to lose, or it over-whelms me. Feel free to email me scrapnmy3@yahoo.com
  5. I'm right there with you. Everything seems to be moving fast. I've seen the dr, the nut, and I'm having my upper G I tomorrow. I'm doing pretty well with tracking my food on my fitness pal, but getting back into regular exercise is hard. It's not that I have any physical reason not to exercise, LOL I just don't feel like it.
