I got a notification from paperback swap that one of the diet books on my wish list was available. Guess I don't need that now!!

I hope not! Super yummy!! But maybe you just THOUGHT you could eat another one ya know? My doc said not to eat more than a 1/4 cup at a time.

I lost a car tire in the last 26 days. But not my real spare tire yet. Love this!!!

Mine was exactly 7 days from when they turned everything in to UHC.

And mix something nasty into it like cat litter so you don't go digging for it.
Do NOT collect $200, go directly to the trash can!!!

Throw it away and throw it away now....

I would say it was nice, but not really necessary for my mom to stay. She only stayed one night in the hospital with me and one at home.

I'd be careful about too much Fiber. liquid diet = liquid poos. Too much fiber + liquid diet = new underwear.

Thanks everyone! It went great! I get to leave the hospital today and am in very little pain. It's more like cramps than pain. Leak test looked good and I'm drinking tiny amounts of broth and Water every 30 minutes. Now if I could just pee I can go home!!

Omg, I'm sitting here waiting for my mom to pick me up to take me to the hospital!!! Getting so excited and a little nervous. More excited though. I have total confidence in my surgeon. Eeeeek!!!

So bad news. I'm going through a divorce right now (which is a good thing) but my lawyers paralegal just emailed me and they want a significant payment. I'm on a very limited income until this all gets settled and I get my assets back. He knows this, but still wants to be paid and rightfully so. So I have a REALLY hard time asking for help and money from my family.
Good news. My surgery is next Wednesday and so, I'm on the liver reduction diet. I'm pretty proud that even though I'm upset, I reached for my Protein Shake instead of some carby something or other. It's ok to still be emotionally eating right? I mean as long as I make the right choices.
Overall things are really on the up and up. I have a GREAT support system and not ONE if my family or friends has said or even implied that they think negatively about my surgery. My mom is going to go to the hospital with me and stay with me after. My ex is watching my kids for 2 weeks while I recover. My friends have offered to bring homemade broths for me during recovery.
I'm going to be going to school for my Masters hopefully in January and moving into a new place in the next 6-8 months too. All exciting things and all a little scary too. My friend sent me a quote that says, "If your goals don't scare you at least a little, then you aren't challenging yourself enough". I think that's a great mantra for what I'm going through and making all of these HUGE life changes. I'm excited to be the new me both physically and mentally.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Keeps it real since when we look in the mirror we don't always see what we really see.

Honestly folks this is the way our journey goes. notice in the beginning it looks like it is all going to work out smoothly...But look at all the struggles we will go through on our way....At the end we will be successful......

I'm approved! I submitted some pics from the different years and less than a week later I am approved!!!

Hey ppl. Anyone interested in doing pics? I recently got back into photography. I am 13 mon out and as part of my biz approach, I want to work with bariatric patients and photograph their before and/or after photos. I know what it's like not wanting to be in pics. Lol. But now I jump in every opportunity I get. If interested then let me know. Plward14@yahoo.com
