  1. I’m the 29th as well. Surgery date 11/29/17 Height 5’7 HW: 235 CW: 228 Goal: healthy (150-160) [emoji1285][emoji1504]‍♀️[emoji1446]‍♂️ ?[emoji170]?
  2. My surgery is 11/29. My preop diet started 11/15. This is been so difficult. The first day i cheated big time. The quilt set in and I’ve been doing good ever sense. I’m allowed oatmeal or grits, broth, protein shakes, water, pop cycles, fat free pudding, and yogurt. I upped my water intake and found that i am less hungry when i do that. I want to crunch something so bad.
  3. Omg me to. All i think about is food and my next protein shake.
  4. My husband is the same way. What I’ve done to make it “easier” is: Grocery shop for at least 2 weeks with everything he needs to feed the kids. It’ll be easy stuff and if worse comes to worst they can eat sandwiches. They will be just fine. House will be clean. The kids closets and drawers will be sorted. My twins are 6. They can dress themselves. When i come home Friday i will do what i can and what i can’t will just not get done. My husband is only off my surgery day and he day after. He’s going to have to figure out how to manage school, lunches, dinner, karate and dance class. They will all survive. Every day from now till surgery day i am reorganizing every room in my house. They will be fine. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.
  5. I totally screen shotted this so I can try these oils. I’m just starting but so far love them!
  6. I diffuse different things depending on what’s going on. At bedtime is lavander. When the kids are stuffy I do RC and peppermint. Lemon in my water every day helps me ?. When hubby tresses I use stress away and lavander massages. Thieves from time to time but I mostly use it for cleaning. I love my oils lol
  7. Hello, I am a huge fan of using essential oils. I mostly diffuse however I do put lemon oil in my water everyday and Digize. Has anyone here has issues using oils after surgery. I use young living.
  8. My surgery date is 11/29. I ended up taking 8 classes. I only needed 3 months but my drs office required 4 and I had to start over because I missed one. Lmao long story. So after 1 full year I’m finally having surgery. Now that I think about it I’m glad I was extended a year. Now more than ever I know I’m ready.
