  1. I finally had a few pain free days (minus time with my mother-in-law) and i have started going to the gym. So far I made it Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and today, Sunday. I have been trying not to weigh myself too often but so far i have gone from 273 (my heaviest in May) to 239.5 (as of today). I have only cheated on the no smoking a few times but did really good until last week. Going to try again, hope this time, no cheating.
     
    Starting to wonder about how i am going to celebrate my birthday though... cupcake instead of cake:w00t:? Am I allowed to have a cocktail or two? I know that I wont be able to get hammered like I have the previous years, but can you drink with the band? I kinda want to ask my dr but i dont want to bother them with stupid questions.

    P.S. does it bother anyone else that the cute two thumbs up emoticon doesnt work, instead the dumb looking thumbs up with sunglasses gets put there...stupid emoticons...you think your so clever dont cha???
  3. I just had my last appt. with Dr. McBride yesterday and she was so awesome:wub:. I am really glad she is the doctor doing it. I am also super happy that the next time I will have the pleasure of seeing her, will be the 5 mins before the lovely anesthesia team knock my ass out.
     
    Since I had my gallbladder out on the 9th of July and couldnt eat (i didn't want to either) for quite some time, I lost enough weight and my incisions are healed enough to keep my August 5th surgery date. Also since I am still in the healing process, I get to wait until this Saturday to start my pre-op diet .
     
    I have also been 1 month without smoking :thumbup: ...thank goodness for surgery 1, and the fact that they had me nice and drugged, because my withdrawl did not kill anyone this time, ha ha:lol:. Still have those cravings for one ,But then again I would much rather be looking hot :ohmy: than smoking so I guess it is worth it.
     
    Well that is all I have for today!
    BYE!!!
  4. WHOO HOO!!!! I NEVER GET GOOD NEWS!!!! SO, I thought I would share :cursing:
     
    Just saw my doc yesterday and she said tht i didnt have to start my liquid diet this week!!!!:cursing:
     
    Since I just had emergency gallbladder surgery last week and the infection is almost all gone and im healing "as expected" she said that as of now, my LB surgery is still the 5th AND instead of losing the 10 lbs she wanted me to lose prior to surgery, i've lost 16.5! :cursing: whoo frickin hoo!!! Thank goodness i have been too sick to eat! HA HA! I was so worried with all of my laying around and swelling I massively gained. (P.S. I wonder how much an infected gallbladder weighs, ha ha)
     
    Supposed to see her again Monday, so she can tell me how many days before surgery to start the liquid only diet. :cursing:
     
    I'll keep you posted!
     
    -S :cursing:
