Blondiee

He is just all kinds of yummy! Why have I been brushing him off?!?

I hear you Jerzygurl! My doctor is not requiring a pre op diet but I will not be grazing ALL day on Thanksgiving! My pre op appointment is on the 26th and I don't want to gain any weight between now and surgery.

My doctor is keeping me off of work for 4 weeks. I have a desk job and plan on using this time to give my body time to heal and to get myself acclimated to my new way of eating.

Looking good and congratulations on your weight loss!

I buy 90% of my dresses from Ross...I should really own some stock in the company!

Hoping that your day is open so we can be surgery twins!

December 5th can't come fast enough. I've been buying clothes like I'm not about to lose weight?!? What's that all about??? I'm addicted to shopping. :ph34r:

Congratulations Doopa and Nurse Bonnie!!!

My doctor always recommends the flu shot but I've always declined.

I can't wait to just go into a store and buy a pair of boots and have them fit my calves. Soooo tired of paying $65 for calf extensions!!!! It's the price I have to pay to be fat and stylish.

I can't wait!

I've had Atkins shakes in the past and my favorite was the Dark Chocolate Royale. YUMMO! I can't think of the brand of protein shakes that my hospital (Kaiser) recommends and sells.

I can't wait to start shopping at Banana Republic!

I thought it would be cool to have a random thoughts thread. Surgery or non-surgery related. I know I sometimes have thoughts that aren't really "thread worthy" but I'd still like to get my thoughts out...or typed out.

Every time I look at our list I just go ! We have a large group but it will be so nice to share our experiences together.

I will also have a variety of protein on hand like Isopure, Unjury (chicken and unflavored), Syntrax(sp) and Premier Protein. There are a couple others that I will buy samples of too...I can't recall the names at the moment. I don't want to stock up on any one in particular because it's a possibility that what you likes pre surgery will change when you become post op.

I'm not on FB.

You look fantastic...and your eyes are gorgeous!!!

Congratulations!!!!!

Jeez...our list is impressive!!!! You're not alone AngiD, my doctor is not requiring me to have and EDG either just additional labs one week prior to surgery.

Thanks AtlantaRed for continually updating our list...you ROCK!!!

You don't have to tell anyone. Tell your HR rep that you're having surgery and provide him/her with the paperwork from your doctor's office. That's it.

I'm taking around 4 weeks off from work. My employer has great short term disability coverage for it's employees. I could take 8 weeks off and get 100% of my pay. Hopefully I'll recover from this surgery as quickly as I did with my c-section.

You look great JessicaDiane! Congratulations on your weight loss! What are you stats?
