Hey, Ladies

My surgery is on the 22th of this month. I'm excited also I was afraid to tell my mom I finally did and she was very supportive. I'm feeling so good right now. Now you know what will make my day if someone could tell me how to put the ticker and art work on my page. Lol!

We're going to do this ladies and I pray for each and everyone of us.

Be Blessed!

hmmm.. I think you put the code in the wrong box. I did that at first and redid it.. just preview and try again before you post it! Not much help I KNOW.. but hopefully it helps.

Day 2 from 6 PM thru 3 pm on Day 3 were the worse for me. It became easier after that - I'm on Day 7 now. Good luck to you.

I am on day 4. I am shocked that it hasn't been that bad. For some reason I haven't been very hungry. I can't even force down all 5 carnation drinks. I can barely drink 3. And they taste pretty good. I like the popcicles a lot. If I actually feel a little hungry, I eat chicken Soup broth. I think I am very lucky because I know a lot of people have a hard time with this.

Maybe it's because I have done a 40 day fast a couple years ago. I also have my parents support, they are dieting with me. They are Trying hard to eat mostly liquids (though better liquids than what I can have, and they cheated today for valentines day).

But thank God, I'm doing good!

I hope yall have good luck continuing your diets!

I think you should reschedule your date. This is an important diet and an important time in your life and I really don't think you should risk cheating on your diet. Either that or tell him you aren't interested in going out to eat and do somehting else instead...

3 Pm on Day 2 thru 5 PM on Day 3 were the toughest for me. Then, hit the pace and hunger left. Hope that happens for both of you.

Cherita, I skipped Valentines Day dinner - just for this year. Next year I'll bring my gorgeous new body to a much lighter dinner.

I'm positive it will be well worth the effort for all of us.

Be strong - so many others have walked this path - we can too.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
