Playing games, sharing laughs, and creating new beginnings! And to a healthier new year! Happy New Years friends

I am so glad it's over, I love this time of the year, but if I see another cookie, cake or candy. I'm going to scream. I did very good, I did not eat sweets but the sight of them made me sick.I am so glad it is over! Not only is there a ton of food but I become a stress anxiety monster trying to make everyone happy and everything perfect! My finances work Christmas party was supposed to be today but it was cancelled because so many people backed out, I was so excited because I didn't have to go to another pot luck lol. So he brings home a frickin pie and ice cream! I was so excited for things to go back to "normal" lol. Oh well I didn't eat any pie or ice cream but it stared at me for a good minute.

Aww, well glad it's coming!!

HW 343 CW 315- pre op

My New Years resolution this year is not to have a New Years resolution.. Oops I already failed, better luck next year!

He is still alive right? Lol

Lmao good woman! Haha

Yeah they said the program has gotten so huge they are looking to hire another surgeon, and there is only one nutritionist and social worker and a lot of people in the program at this location. At first I was frustrated but now I feel like it's going to happen just at the right time for me. I wanted to lose 50lbs before surgery and I'm almost to that goal may even be able to lose more!

Maybe it's oregon! I'm in oregon too and have been in the program 12 months and on top of everything! By the time I have surgery it will be 15 months. I had 10 weeks of health as nutrition classes, sleep study, 3 separate group meetings, social worker and dietician meetings (an hour each). A follow up with the social worker and nutritionist, January 15th I have my pre op class then I'll have an appointment with my surgeon and schedule surgery. I literally call my case manager as soon as I'm walking out the door completing one step to schedule the next and each step seems to be scheduled 5-8 weeks apart. I have already done my drug test lab work and ultrasound of my gall bladder as well. I'm getting closer!

I was told no because the carbonation can stretch the pouch and drinking soda increases your appetite, especially diet.

My cousin had the sleeve done in coos bay! I hear they have excellent surgeons!

I'm pre op looking at February! I live in Portland, where are you having your surgery!?

I love your outfit with your zebra belt! Super cute.

Blame it on the staples lol :-p

I've found that sometimes it's easier to talk to people you don't know this site has helped me mentally prepare for everything. Reading these forums has become almost addicting for me! But hey at least when I'm bored I'm reading and not feeding! Lol

That's why you fart and flush the toilet at the same time lol

I'm sure you will be fine, it's not as if you went out and ate a big heavy meal, just get back on track
