Hey everyone HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I don't like feeling bad on Fridays... LMAO!! Well okay, I don't like feeling bad ever, so if you're anything like me you'll always look for little bits of happiness in an otherwise tough journey. So, what are YOU doing today to make your dream happen... that is besides having weight loss surgery.

My goal right now is to STAY at goal!!! So, today I am gonna hit my elliptical and make sure I'm getting my Protein and Water in. Yayyy!!! Goal is awesome.. and I encourage all to get here!!! WHOOHOOO!!!

One last thing, I sure missed all of you the last few days. Glad to be back up!

I started my day out yesterday with a 20 minute session on my eliptical. This morning I did a Zumba class. Trying to do something physical every day now.

Love my sleeve!

Today I resolve NOT to cheat on my self inflicted preop diet!

I almost wish that my surgeon required a preop diet because then I would feel accountable to him, but he doesn't so I have only myself to hold me accountable. That's never worked for very long in the past..... I'm hoping I can make it through the next 3 1/2 weeks without any weight gain!

I also wish Dr. Simon made you lose 5% of your weight pre-op, and gave you a liquid diet pre-op. Since he didn't i kind of went a little bursirk (msp) and ate a bunch of terrific foods, that i knew i should not have. I figured i would eat like there was no tomorrow. So i punished myself - but i learned the hard way.

So i guess i went on one of those food funerals. But my funeral lasted a couple of weeks. So i did gain weight. But that weight now is gone --but i have regrets that i goofed up, but its behind me and i am only going to look forward.

Good luck on your self imposed pre-op diet. I'm sure you'll do great. Then enjoy your long journey with the sleeve, it will be a wonderful experience for.

Good Luck
