BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AUgh is anyone else going off the rails a little?! I've been eating foods that are so shitty for me after doing amazing on my diet for the last 6 months. I'm supposed to start my 2 week liquid diet on June 5th BUT I'm going to do a 3 or 4 week liquid or low carb diet to get back on track. I plan on starting that this coming Sunday.

BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AWelcome to all my newbie babes!!!! How is everyone feeling for far? I have 37 days until surgery but who's counting lol. I start my liquid diet next Sunday because even though they only require 2 weeks I want to make sure my ass is on point with my health day of surgery. I've been working on a reward chart for each 5 lbs or so I lose and when. I get to 30 lbs lost, I'm going to see Manson and Rob Zombie again

BulletWithButterflyWings replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AIt makes me happy that we actually have a great group of people who we can turn to if needed. I mean unless you're embarking on this journey, you cant fully understand how exciting, scary, and wonderful this is. A great example is my wonderful husband, he supports me but I know I drive him nuts talking about it lol. Smashing Pumpkins helped get me through high school but so did 80s hair bands lol my parents raised me loving the 80s even though I'm a 90s baby (lol) and Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins were ahead of their time.
