Merry Christmas! I am one week out. Protein Drinks for my Christmas meals. Feeling ok. Really thinking i should have opted for the sleeve.

Front: How much weight have I lost?

Back: A buttload.

In my care packager from the hospital there was a t-shirt in it. It had a picture of a cartoon stomach holding a sign that said "help!'. It said, "I left my stomach in Tijuana." I can't wait to wear it.

Love it. Which hospital?

Looks like a few if you will be in the hospital over Christmas...

Dear Past,

Thanks for the lessons.

Dear Future,

I'm ready.

I have a 13 year old who says she does not want me to have the surgery. However, my current weight has a serious negative impact on my health and life. Its hard explaining this to her, I think she gets it but still does not like the idea. I suspect because I will be away for surgery.

I have also been doing a last tour, if you will and Thanksgiving will be a light dinner. My date is not until Dec 18 but would still like to lose.

FMLA paperwork is in the works. Man its a pain!

Nope. You order online. Patchmd.com I think

You can also get them from Amazon I think

I have been using patch Vitamins and I like them

I am feeling anxious. Everyday is just go away November and get here December. I have tried to start the preop diet step 1, assigned to me (2-3 Protein Shakes a day plus one salad with fish or chicken) and have yet to get a day perfect. I keep researching to learn everything i can for post op.

I am scheduling a December 18. Anyone else have a December date?
