Nope, you are Superman.

How's your body doing with loose skin with the rapid weight loss? I hope my question isn't too personal.

Spinach or broccoli

AJ, you didn't see my post, "What the Prep " transfer addiction in action at its finest, lol. I get it, in this moment. I never thought of myself as an addictive personality.

I plan on making a batch or two of broths, I prefer my own cooking. Also, I don't know if I will be able to stomach too much more store bought broth after my procedure, if that's my only option.

Glad to hear of your quick progress. I don't have my surgery until the 31st of this month. How's your liquid consumption and protein going?

Never to late, congratulations graduate. Welcome to your class, how are you feeling?

She's pretty AMAZING, so if that guided meditation doesn't help you.

We Virgos can be a complete basket case, because we internalize everything. Listen to AJ count your blessing and focus on all that is good in your life, don't write a negative narrative about your own story. Meditation is great for anxiety, try this: there are many others as well.

Quit smoking everything, lol. You'll do fine and pass.

Thank you, I'm a Virgo...we're over achievers, lol. Seriously, I started awhile ago and I like to make sure I'm okay. I still feel like I'm missing something, I just don't know what that could possibly be....

I hope you feel better very soon and welcome home. Cheers to recovery mode.

Got mines this past Summer as well, still having cycles just different. My moods are pseudo-PMS, I feel like the crazy lady. We are going to be fine, I think I'm just going through the vulnerability of everything. I know this is going to be great. Now, I'm crying ???, I can't help it. I'm so darn excited and nervous!!!! It really does feel good to have people to talk to who understand what you are experiencing.

I'm happy for you, if I weren't sitting in the dentist's chair I'd start crying for you, lol. Crazy

I'm too darn emotional as of this week, because its a lot closer than I thought. I'm going to pack my bag after I come from the appointment next Friday, I already have too much going on. I'm cleaning up my domain this weekend and getting ready for recovery. I guess these emotions are releasing with the fat, I have no clue....PMS magnified times a million.

We are the same week, that liquid life is real.really here. Let's keep each other inspired, I have my final pre-op appointment with the surgeon on the 17th. Surgery on the 31st and last night I got a call to schedule my 1 month post-op appointment for March 2nd. The only detail I'm not privied to is the time of surgery.

Arigato AJ

We are bookends, your surgery is on Monday/27th and my surgery is on Friday/31st. Costco has Premier protein on sale (2 cases max) for 19.00 each until 01/26 I believe. Wal-Mart grocery store is good for our Jello and Sugar free Popsicles, Trader Joe's has plenty of broth varieties. I've been shopping as I go, building my supplies and getting ready for the transition to bariatric surgery. I also live alone and don't want to be without my needs during recovery time. My focus is going to be on rest, hydration and walking in the proper time intervals.

I will message you also.

Thank you AJ...may I use a blender in place of the Nutrabullet?

Love you for this, I still wanted to cook during this phase, but was confused about what was okay for the new stomach. I will let you know after I make it. Thank you doll face ??.

You're welcome, when is your surgery?

I hope you are going to recover and heal quickly. I'm sure the responses are going to be useful and will start flowing in. Sorry I can't be of more assistance, I just wanted to say hang in there.

Sending you lots of love and support today....
