January 5th! ????

Woah! You look AMAZING!

For sure! I am fine with slow and steady! ????

I joined a gym with my bestie! She is a two time cancer survivor and we are each others support on the road to health. Start my pre op diet on Tuesday. It is getting close now!

I used the strawberry syntrex with strawberry diet powerade then froze it in ice cube trays. AWESOME! protein popcicles! Yummy!

The song is great! I am getting the best Christmas gift ever! A liquid diet! Lol! Seriously tho....I start my pre op on the 21st and surgery is Jan 5th. My 40th birthday is Jan 23rd. I know this will be a hard time to do this but I feel it is the best gift I could give myself! Instead of eating and drinking for my 40th I am postponing my party till summer so I can finally have a pool party! Yeah me!!! Yeah ALL of us! Happy holidays to all!

My boyfriend and I ride a 1998 Heritage Softball. I can't wait to be comfortable riding again!!! I have really missed that!

Find healthy options to cook with the kids? I found a true love of cooking by doing it with my mom when I was a kid. Think of giving a child the desire to eat home cooked healthy food!

I love coffee! I have given it up. I miss it terribly! In a trial run of my pre-op diet I discovered decaf instant coffee added to my vanilla protein shake with almond milk is AWESOME! Like an iced latte! Yeah!

I smoke for pleasure and to lessen pain. I use topicals to lessen pain and soften skin. For me it is an amazing healer of body and mind! I intend to continue marijuana use after my wls. Everyone is free to choose how or if they use it. Even my mom and grandma use a cannabis salve I make! ???? ✌

I will be leaving for my surgery in a couple hours. Good luck to you!Good luck! Let us know how you are doing after. ????

I hope when you read this you are feeling well and recover quickly!

My surgery is the same day! I will be in Tijuana. Where are you getting yours done!

Wow! Gowalking put it so very well!

@"Mom26" you and your family are in my thoughts!

I will be in Mexico in early January. It was also suggested to bring a small pillow for between tummy and seat belt. As for the tv....I have heard it is mostly Hispanic programing. Makes sense but I don't know enough Spanish to enjoy it. I will be taking a cheap tablet.

I am in Oregon and hoping to be sleeved early January! ????

I am trying to get an appointment early January. This puts me fasting on Christmas and new years. I see this as a small but hard price to pay for my new life. Not too hard I hope!

Wow! Thank you for creating this blog! Good to see that I will be able to eat real food! Very comforting!

Wow! This is awesome! More pictures please! ????

Hey there! I am also concerned about this. Mostly I am worried that a layover with plane switch will be too much. My only solution is to find a non-stop flight. The pillow is a good idea! Also I am going to request a seat belt extender. Good luck! -Angie-

Hello! I am in Boring Oregon. Just outside of Sandy. I would love to be involved in this! I am trying to figure out who and wheres of my trip to Mexico for sleeve surgery. Thanks, Angie

I am also in Oregon! I am in a similar situation. I have made this decision to go to Mexico for surgery and talked every one into it. Now I don't know how to pick the right doctor. Help!
