Good for you!!! That's what I did last night while my family ate taco pizza.

I just turned 42, we are NOT too old for one of those!! My 21 yr old daughter will be so jealous!

Mine called me the same day I got approved. It wouldn't hurt to call and just check. My pre-surgery appointment was booked about a week after that.

OR...when you start to lose weight and they say, "Wow, you're losing weight--your face is really skinny!!" Well, what about my ass??

Friends! Look what I did for my co-workers today! We don't have a Panera in our town and I was at a Dr. Appointment in a nearby town and offered to pick them all up lunch. Whew! That was a good test! I got unsweetened tea for myself.

Good luck Betti Boop!!!

Good luck ladies!! You'll do great!!!

I found your new post Beni! So my family had taco pizza tonight. I hid out in my bedroom and spent about an hour talking to my BFF on the phone. Left over pizza was still sitting in the kitchen when I came down. I had to get it out to the garbage right away!! Another favorite I didn't eat "before."

I can't wait to cross over here! :D Auri--My family had taco freaking pizza tonight!!! :angry: But you know what, we're going to look SO amazing very soon and we won't care about what foods we're missing out on!!

Oh no Smiley! You're going to be miserable. I don't have to do one either. Well, that's what a friend told me who had the sleeve done about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I asked her because back in 2008 when I had my lapband done, I did have to do what. Drink this thick, clear, nasty stuff--You'd think after I'd done Clear liquids for 2 weeks, I would have been cleaned out! Guess not! But my friend said they're not making us do those anymore. I'll know 100% on Wednesday when I go for my pre-surgery appointment. My pre-op physical was so stupid. I had to see a Dr. I've never seen before. All he did was listen to my heart/ lungs. That's it. He said he'd send an "all clear" note to my surgeon. Ok. Fine with me I guess. But what a wasted trip!

Oh, applesauce and pudding sounds amazing!! I'm getting ready to go to my pre-op physical. I'm so scared someone is going to say, "Nope, sorry...not gonna happen."

That is awesome you're feeling so good!! I hope I heal up that well!!

Karen--So glad you popped in! I was wondering how you were doing.21 pounds down?! That's awesome girl!!! Whoohoo!!! I wonder what's up with your enhanced smelling. I have not heard of that before. So at 2 weeks, what are you eating? How much are you able to eat at a time? Are you having a hard time getting in your Water to stay hydrated. I became dehydrated after my lap band surgery back in 2008. That was a horrible feeling. Got 2 bags of Fluid put in and felt like a new person.

Maybe if I turn the phone, lol. Sorry, I'll quit posting pics now! Heehee.

I think I'm sideways but I found it! Thanks!!!

LOL---Nope, that didn't work! Darn it!

C.-'t TieSTSs Amy -$^ let's see if this worked...

So you are posting from your phone I assume? When I try and post from my phone I don't get a little camera. Darn. I was trying to figure that out before I go to surgery so I can post pics, LOL. I'll do some more checking, maybe it's on there somewhere I'm just not seeing. Do you have an iphone?

I'm drooling a bit here.....LOL! Hey, how do you insert a picture like that??

So you get to eat food? I'm so jealous!

I am in such a better frame of mind today!!! Thank goodness! Although, I was outside with our dogs this morning at 5:30AM and I could smell Breakfast being cooked at our neighbors. I just about went to their door to lick their plates for them. That's kind of like a liquid, right? Bacon grease?!!

When is your surgery? What does your pre-op diet consist of?

I suppose they figure for just 2 days you didn't need the extra protein? Hmmm, still amazes me how different the pre-op diets are! No way could I go my 2 weeks without some protein. I'm weak and exhausted as it is...7 days to go! I think I can....I think I can....I think I can!

Good luck to our 2 rock stars today!!!

I haven't been too hungry either. I think I realized how much mindless eating I did before. So many times today I wanted to just go to the kitchen to snack...like I usually do on the weekends. And not because I was hungry, just bored, or used to eating for no reason. Now I'll be eating for a purpose, not just to eat. I was under on calories today too. 755. but 80g of protein. Really keeps me from being hungry!
