  1. I'm 3 weeks from surgery. The weight was flying off the first 2 weeks. I was so excited, people at work and school were coming up to me saying they could tell I've lost weight. However, this week, NOTHING. i think one day I actually gained a pound. I've thought about not weighing myself daily. I'm going to go crazy if I do.

    I don't feel much restriction unless I have over eatten. I always feel hungry.

    My big downfall is lack of exercise. I've been horrible about going to the gym. I need to make myself go tomorrow, no excuses. I am not working or school tomorrow. I'd like to attempt the elliptical thingy :-)

    Wish me luck. I have an appointment at the end of the month with the surgeon. Maybe I'll get my first fill. I hope so. I want to see the numbers on the scale go in the right direction .

  2. Pre-Op Liquid Diet

    · RaleighLap · 07/26/2009 18:40

    Dr. Moran put me on a 7 days pre-op liquid diet because I didn't lose any weight between office visits, I actually gained 8lbs.
     
    I need to take better responsibilitiy for my weight. Part of me had my mind set that I needed to eat as much as I could because I'd never have it again.
     
    Another problem I'm having is exercise. I needed to get more motivated to exercise. I have a gym membership I'm paying for every month and the card looks so great on my keychain. :-)
     
    My surgury is scheduled for 7/30 @ 0800 and I have to be at the hospital by 0600. Almost like the airport. I'm not taking anything the the clothes I'm wearing. I want to have the surgery, recover, and go home and probably sleep the rest of the day.
     
    More to come later. I'm studying for a final exam tomorow. Wish me luck.
     
    C.H.:confused:
