February Surgeries

[Blue614 133]

How did everyone do on the holiday? I'm single and my family is in another state, so I avoided the pitfalls.

I am going to be honest and tell you I've had "last supper syndrome" for a few weeks. Monday starts my high protein/low carb diet until January 20 when my liquid diet starts.

I'm sure I will experience the same when my time draws near. Hang in there and keep your eye on the prize.

I did pretty good, it was just my husband and me for Christmas. I fixed a turkey dinner but I didn't eat anything else that day. I have avoided all of the leftover christmas Cookies that are sitting out o. My front porch. Been sucking crystal light raspberry lemonade down like mad. If I stay away from the kitchen I do much better. Tonight I had a turkey sandwich with lite bread, low fat mayo, and lettuce, the. Two pickles , some carrots, was doing good until I then had half a bag of potato chips. Sure wish I hadn't bought those. But no more, they'll go downstairs to my husband's kitchen tomorrow.

Threw holidays were alright here. Went with the family on a cruise. I ate way too much but walked and exercised a lot. So hopefully I evened out. I will find out on the 6th during my next appt.

I just completed my psych appt. on Thursday and I'm scheduled to meet my surgeon on Jan. 13. All of my paperwork will be submitted and (hopefully) ready to go for February, but since I am a teacher, I am trying to schedule my surgery in March so I can just extend my Spring Break.

I wish everyone luck and will be following all of your stories!

Anxious to hear from you! Are u doing ok? Getting eager!? I miss hearing from u!!

[alex76 184]

I've heard good and bad about Cigna- but no more or less than other insurance companies... Or maybe I'm just being hopeful

I'm doing really well- sticking with high Protein and low carb. Learning the difference bw head hunger and stomach hunger has been a challenge!

Excited for all of us!

I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well. I seem to be going up and down lately. I start out the day and go through work great, but at the end of the day I fall apart. I really wish I didn't have to go in a grocery store at all. I love fruits and vegetables and I have lots of them at home and I plan on eating them every night. However that always changes when I get home because I've come home with something I definitely should not eat. They say never go to the grocery store hungry. But I do every night. I can't wait to have this surgery so that I won't be hungry when I go. I have no problem sticking with the good for you stuff when I am not hungry or stressing out.

[Blue614 133]

Rae, do you gave a surgery date yet? I'm with you on the stress eating, so hard to not do it I think I'm doing ok, cut out soda (Pepsi nut) and all breads so my weight is going down. Good start before my pre op diet.
