I'm so excited to be this close to surgery. I don't have a date yet. I go back to the surgeon on Jan. 8, 2014. I expect we will set a date then (hopefully). January 29 ends the 3 month "diet" period. So I think I'm looking at surgery in February.

Yeah. I hit a day of "omg, I will eat my dog!" It sucked and I was a b***h all day. I even punched a wall and made my knuckles bleed. I am never violent and rarely that angry. It was awful. I am here for you friend. Just try not to punch me.

When u said that about your dog I laughed so hard! I kid you not, less than 10 minutes ago I looked at my shih tzu and said "Lilly, I wonder how many meals I can get outta you". She just huffed and went to sleep. If she only knew how close she was to being a rotisserie morsel....

I'll restrain myself. No punching. Promise.

i was the same way! Haha. By the time I got my sleeve done I was eating so much food. What's your post op diet like?

Liquids. It was awful the first couple days but now it's not as bad. Just head hunger which is very tough.

I have two chunky beagles. We could have a full BBQ.

The Blue Buffalo dog food commercial just made my stomach growl.

yeah it is. It does get better. I'm anxious to start working out.

Jen's is Thursday and mine is Tuesday. There are several of us right together and it really helps to have the support. Being able to get on here and have friends that actually understand what you're going through is a lifesaver.

I don't smoke. Maybe I'll learn to crochet or something.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how I am getting through it. It's day 8 for me too and tonight we had dinner at my parents. They all had hot dogs with home made chili and slaw. Yummmm. It smelled good. But I never even had a 2nd thought. I had my soup and then Greek yogurt for desert and was satisfied. Even better I was proud that I made it through a family dinner with no issues.

I love exercising. I know that's weird but I really do. And I love my gym. I can't wait to get back. I started running over the summer and it was hard but I would like to get back at that.

Omg. Dammit girl I just choked on my drink when I read that!!! Death by Mio.

Knitting or crochet would be a great distraction. My best friend and I also are re-watching desperate housewives from the beginning. It helps to sit there for an hour and not be able to get up haha.

They were showing all this chicken and veggies. It was like a deconstructed pot pie! Lol.

I took colace all through my pregnancy and it helped me tremendously. Also, are you getting enough water? I know we are on the 'quids but I have to ask. Lol.

I could probably stand to drink a bit more actual water. I drink water with my protidiet concentrates and at night, b UT during the day the last week I pretty much drink powerade or gaterade G2.

I am so proud of u girl!!! I really think I'm struggling so much tonight Bc of that yogurt that had 18g of sugars in it. I swear I bought sugar free but they weren't. Omg it just kickstarts something in my when I eat sugar.

I'm sure that's the issue. You've been so good about eating no sugar and super high protein. You just need to get through the night and give away those yogurts. You will get through this.

I'm watching 600 pound life. Some of these people make me so upset. But I know I could easily be in their shoes.
