Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

September 18th here!

Still feeling regretful. So stuck in a depressive rut. Going to the grocery store for some new found hope. Still eating healthy but running out of options. I am now 4 weeks post op. Something has got to give! Ugh!

The only thing that worked for me was getting variety and something I could chew. Also....focusing on what I'm grateful for. It works every time to help Pull me out of a depression. Hold on....it will pass....if it doesn't.....seek some outside help. :-)

Why the heck did I take a vitamin on an empty stomach?!! I know better. Tried an egg white omelet with light cheddar cheese. Praying I don't vomit. I hate this feeling! :-/

Ok the egg saved me! Yayyyy!!

Well... I have lost 16 pounds. While I am grateful I am a little disappointed. I thought it would be more. What gives! Ugh!

My mistake... I took my shoes and pants off and weighed again. I've lost 22 pounds. That's better. I knew I felt lighter. This is so stressful!

That's good! I'm here if you need support. We all need each other. This was a massive change. We can get through it together. I just had canned chicken 1.5 oz with Tblspn of Mayo and 2 small mozzarella sticks with some cracked black pepper. I'm full and satisfied and feel good. :-)
