3-4 Days after surgery is no joke. Hurting and cranky and sipping my water.

3rd NUT Tues, Hope no more gain! 2nd re-injury after surgery in as many months & job affecting me. Maybe I won't be able to handle surgery either.

Antsy after the week. Been shuttling between BP, FB, GMail, etc. Need to instead BE productive & offline!!

Aw Damn Me. Getting started too late on diet program is likely going to knock me out of my preferred/planned date. My fault too. Will likely have to jack up Christmas break. I am a teacher & get off a week for Thanksgiving and two for Christmas and neglected this one thing. Mom will flip if I am not there for what may be her or her husbands last on earth..

Diet Fail: Did good on day two of my carb diet..until I fell asleep. I woke up about a hour later, thristy and confused. Drank glass of lemonade juice and ate a fajita taco..then "woke" up and thought. Crap!! I was SO out of it, then I ate some other crap I should not have (chocolate milk! and corn chips). Jesus..Get it together. Today is day three of my attempt. I WILL drink more water today, as that was likely was triggered it. I had fallen asleep with a nice cup of tea by my hand..had.

@Fredbear I have a teenager, although I am thinking that he can do plain/crystal light water for awhile. The chips came with the Angus steak tacos from across the street, we don't have chip/cookie bags in the house. I will say, yesterday, was MUCH better. I went into work. I DID eat some more of those stupid chips in the morning, so carb count was off, but, nothing else bad for the whole day! That is important, as the evenings are when I fail, so I am now 24 hours without excessive carbs. 10 days left of pre-surgery. Hope it is enough to count. Yesterday I had jerky, hamburger (no bun, no catsup)..then later some Fajita meat and pecans, Sugar free jello and tea...I made a pot of boiled eggs and will do some other prep today. I am also cutting my caffeine, which is HORRIBLE. Kill me slowly or kill me cold turkey-not sure which is worse

Everything except last NUT is done. HAVE to show a bit of a weight loss on Monday. Crossed Fingers.

GAINED 5 lbs since my 1st Nut Appointment. WTF. Going back to work (SPED teacher) & still recovering from ACL surgery doesn't help a damn bit..

Dr. Acheson from Southwest Bariatrics here in Austin. He has EYE contact and easy going manner, soft Texas accent and YES, I would love to do all the fun things
His site says: Dr. Acheson received his medical degree from Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans. Dr. Acheson’s surgical training was obtained at Brooke Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, TX, where he also completed a Trauma Research Fellowship. During his 11 years of active military service in the United States Army, he spent three deployments as a trauma and general surgeon in multiple regions of Afghanistan and Iraq. He is a member of the Texas Medical Association.

Had my first visit today. Nice doctor. Cute too (can we just kiss, kiss and then talk shop). LOL!! He wants an endoscopy and can't get me in until I am back at school. Ugh. I am going to try to go thru insurance, but if not I will be self pay. The appointments begin!!

Hard to stay on the pre-op diet. Two days and I crashed. Day one, dinner invite turned out to be pizza. Last night, ate beans, rice, tortilla..need to low-carb it for now less than 14 days. If I can't do this..how the fk is this going to work!!!

My ACL revision surgery went great! Surgical center was on point. I did a million things ahead of time (groceries, medication, etc) This time is less painful, better meds and best of all, I have a Cryo Cube. An ice box thing that circulates cold water around my knee to cool it, for pain and swelling. It is the bomb.com! I am not looking forward to PT & it stinks that I am going to lose so much of my summer. Hopefully I can do more stuff, like Tango when this is done. I wish it was WLS surgery, I have to wait until November for that. ($$).

Need to get over myself, but to me, 11 lbs in 16 days after Sleeve is less than I thought I would have occurred. I know all the things everyone says, but ugh.
