READY4CHANGE2013

THANKS VIVADIVA01...THAT IS HILARIOUS BUT I JUST MAY TRY THAT!

Actually BigFrank I did get it out of my system. I am 4 days post-op and I'm doing quite well. No pain. NO gain. I wouldn't do this if I didn't think I would be success. I wouldn't set myself up for failure. However, I do appreciate the STRONG verbiage used...it was definitely an eye opener.

Thanks everyone for the feedback HOWEVER, Frank's comments don't make nor break me!! He can say what he wants. I know what I'm capable of but I do understand why many have left this site due to ignorance such as this. NO matter what my title was/is or maybe....all that you said was truly uncalled for. I am home now and resting. No pain and ready to start my new life of the losers bench! Good luck to all!

I've been up since 6:30am and I'm super excited. I'm not nervous at all. I've waited a very long time for this day and I can't wait to sit on the LOOSERS BENCH!! Good luck to all that are being sleeved!! I'll be checking back monthly with updates!!

Thanks for YOUR opinion but FAILURE is NOT an option for me!! I cheated...WOW! I didn't binge and I got myself back on track. I celebrated my birthday and I can't take that back...NEVER will FAILURE be acceptable in my book

yummmmmm that looks delicious!

MEEEEE MEEEEE MEEEE!! SEPTEMBER 4TH.....HERE I COME!! From Frederick but being sleeved in Washington, DC

Today was it!! I have to fight back. I keep telling myself this is what got you to where you are!! Thanks ladies for the encouraging words...it really helps to know I'm NOT alone!! I'm starting FRESH for the next few days...I CAN DO THIS!!

I've been on my pre-op diet for almost 2 weeks now. I was doing really good the first week and then my birthday came and I asked if I could have a last ditch meal. I had a gyro....OMG! I was DELISH! So delish I had another one on Friday. Yesterday I did pretty good. I only ate broth, jello, and sf popsicles. Today....OH WHY....I had a piece of a big mac!! My surgery is Wednesday....WHAT AM I DOING??

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!

CONGRATS!! MY DATE IS WEDNESDAY SEPT 4TH......SOOOO EXCITED!!

Thanks you CHIBABYY! My birthday was actually yesterday (Aug 29th) but Sept 4th is my grandma's birthday so I'm happy either way. It will be a day to be remembered!! GOOD LUCK with your success. See you on the LOOSERS BENCH!!

THANK YOU!! I MOST DEFINITELY WILL!!

Final consult with my surgeon today and I'm being SLEEVED on Sept 4th!! WHOO HOOO.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! This is the BEST birthday present I could ever give myself!!

CONGRATS TO YOu!!

that cream of chicken soup was like THANKSGIVING in August....OMG!!

YEP!! I'M DRINKING G2 FROZEN AT THAT!! I did pick up the Soup, SF Jello, italian ice and popcicles...REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE!! Thanks ladies for the help!! This is going to be a breeze. I'm counting down til Friday and I'll really be joining the LOOSERS BENCH!!

now that gives me more options! Thanks!!

ok. I'm going to try that....THANKS A BUNCH!

Hmmmmm, I did tomato soup and it was DEVINE!! I'm trying to be good but it's proving to be a challenge. Did you eat popsicles or jello? I didn't get any guidelines OTHER than a liquid diet. So I'm willing to try anything.

Ok! I PROMISE you I will not complain. I've been on a liquid diet now for 5 days and I'm going crazy!! I need something different because these broths are now making me NAUSEATED!! I have switched to ramen noodles seasoning and that seems to help alot. What else OTHER than protein shakes and broth did you drink?? I am doing water and gatorade as well...THANKS ALL!!

YES CONGRATS!!

HONEY TELL HER TO KICK ROCKS WITH A PAIR OF OPEN TOE SHOES....YOU ARE HAWT!! Many people are not used to seeing the NEW you so they can only visualize what they're used to seeing...GET OVER IT BOO BECAUSE IT'S NOT COMING BACK!! CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY!!

1st let me ask..who did you do this surgery for? You or everyone esle?? If you don't set in your mind that you will be SUCCESSFUL you will always FAIL!! Instead of eating try going for a walk or reading a book...NO ONE is forcing you to put food into your mouth...it's a choice that you have made. I'm not yelling at you or coming down on you..I'm just being real. I too have that issue and this is what I've chosen to do to AVOID regaining. GOOD LUCK!! You have a friend in me if you just want to SCREAM!!

GOOD FOR YOU!! That is a major mild stone to pass.....YOU GO GIRL!! Pat yourself on the back for that one!
