I am so sorry that you have to go through all of that. If they have a survey to do for your stay you should really do it. I would have to let someone know how your stay was and that it was not a happy one. I am glad the surgery went well for you and a pray for a speedy recovery.

There is a app that I found its called Lose It and you are able to scan bar codes with it. I love it because you can see your Protein intake.

To all the 8/7 sleevers I am sending up prayers to everyone and wish you a speedy recovery!! Can't wait for the results.

This sounds like you may need to get to a nutritionist at this point to help you figure out what is going to work for you and not make you feel the way you have been feeling. They may have so other options for you so that you can get what you need and not feel bad.

Where are you having your surgery? I see a lot of people are at UIC.

We share 8/29, so excited for you.

Congrats and my thoughts are with you. Cant wait to be where you are. lol

Its ok, sometimes it gets hard and we can fall back on what we are familiar with and is comfortable. But the good thing is you know what to do to get back on track. You dont have to feel bad about what you are going through but dont allow yourself to get stuck in it. Find good snackable food so that at least if you are going to snack its healthy. I am a stress eater sometimes and I know that I have to have healthy things around me and at work to make sure the first choice to put in my mouth is a good choice. It will be ok and we are here for you.

See, this is the reason why I have limited the people who know that I am taking this journey. I dont need anyone to watch what I eat or how much I eat. That can really make you guarded with people where you dont want to tell them anything in regards to your weight so that you dont have to deal with the evil eye every time you put something in your mouth. I trust you know what you can and can not have so no one needs to be a food monitor for you.

Congrats to you, join the club but its going to be so worth all this nervous energy we have.

I got my final email today so the date of Aug 29th is set in stone. I have an appointment on Aug 19th I have an Anesthesia Appointment, Updated History and Physical, and Consent & Nutrition Teaching. I am really excited that it is really going to happen. I plan to start Aug 1st with eating the things for pre-op so it wont seem so hard for me. I would really like to get my number down alot it will help when it's time to do the real work. Once again I am so happy I can scream I will keep reposting this until in really sinks in. lol

Hey I was the 23rd at University of Chicago but now I am the 29th but with Dr. Hussain. Good luck

There has been a change, I have rescheduled to Aug 29th. I am kind of glad and sad, glad because I did not want to be in surgery on my wedding anniversary but sad because it meant getting it over with but what's another week.
