Day 3 of liquid diet... seems to be easier today.... or I'm delusional. I'm already tired of sweet stuff. I do really like the no carb Isopure drinks fruity though they maybe. I haven't murdered anyone but I did get a bit cuss-wordy yesterday when a friend snapchatted me some home baked tasty rolls. cuss-wordy is a word right.....

My surgery is the 25th at 10:45am. So crazy. We'll get our sleeves at the exact same time???? Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App Sleeve sisters! LoL I'm in spokane wa where are you?? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

Start my preop liquid diet tomorrow surgery 7/25 at 1030am. I'm so excited I'm not even worried about it. I just can not wait to be on the losers bench and get on with my life. I have been very open about my surgery with my friends and co-workers. When the nay-sayers ask if I'm sure my response is as follows: I have so many things I've put off because of my weight and they are my inspiration whenever I think of how overwhelming this decision and process has been. Yes, its a big change. Yes, its going to be a major adjustment but what I'll get in return will be worth so much more then the slice of cake I couldn't have or the cup of coffee I missed out on. Luckily my friends have been even more supportive then I had imagined them to be and I am very grateful for them and ALL OF YOU!

Sitting waiting for my preoperative appointment. 3 weeks to go.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

I am so excited for my July 25th date!!! I've even started eating low carb so that when I start my 2 week preop liquid diet I've already went through the carb withdraw and hopefully it will be easier! One giant adjustment at a time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

Apparently my boss decided to have a meeting with my director about my surgery. I was then pulled into his office and told if I insisted on having my surgery on July 25th then he would have to cancel some of my coworkers requests for time off. He was basically trying to coworker quilt me into delaying my surgery. He told me about the long conversation he had with my boss and how it just wasn't the right time for my surgery. He asked me to move it to 8/15. I told him that 8/15 would have been perfectly acceptable when I was trying so hard to work with my boss but that now it was too late. My surgery has been scheduled and my FMLA paperwork had been filed. He had no idea that I had asked my boss for appropriate dates and that I had tried to do what was best for the department. I showed him the emails and he got red faced and was very upset. I guess his long meeting wasn't as informative as he thought..... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

I totally understand your frustration! I seriously wish I had never been honest at all and just said I'm having surgery. Period. I really hate how "fat shaming" is the last socially acceptable Prejudice. Super sad. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

It sucks when you really regret being honest with your boss. We've always gotten along really well but I guess this is just a reminder that they are management and you are not. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App

Scheduled my surgery today for July 25th. Told my manager and he started to argue and get angry and then I told him I was approved for FMLA and he just said "OK then." He was really mad. But I feel better already. Just knowing it's scheduled and he can't hold me back from this is making me so happy!! Thanks for all the advice! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App
