The nurses from the hospital just called to do my pre-registration. They told me where to go, what to bring, reiterated my pre-op diet of clears the day before and nothing past midnight, went over my meds, and had me pay my Tricare Standard copayment for the surgery - a whopping total of $18! W00t!!! Lol!

It feels so real now! And it's so close. 5 more days!!!!

To be honest, I'm getting a little nervous...just a little.

There is definitely a glitch with the baractric pal app. I've seen my face pop up on others names.. just reload the page or log out and log back in.

I'm doing great!!! Thanks lady!!! Just trying to hit my Water goals because I feel like it is going to be a problem if I can't get in my 64oz.

Keep at it, you'll figure it out your balance. You've been doing amazing!!! Just don't get dehydrated. Heard that is very common early on.

Thank you! I heard the same thing!!!! I was just telling my husband that I wish I had a friend who was a nurse or lived closer to my doctor sorority sister so that she could give me an IV lol!

I need to hit my Water goal asap so I can be sure that I won't get dehydrated when I start working out hard...

Update:

Finally done traveling! I'm down to 256.4 which is 31.6 since pre-op and 27.2 since surgery. Went to the gym one time - this past Sunday. I am so sore!!!!! Good way to start week 5!

My eating is getting better. I've been having a lot of loaded baked potatoes because they are soft and go down easily. And when I say a lot, I mean one medium sized potato will last me 4 days lol. I've been eating Protein first and have been trying to get all my Water in. It's still a struggle.

One thing I did notice. I stopped my Protein shakes on Thursday last week. I immediately became more regular, I was peeing way more and drinking more. I felt so much better. So for now, premiere protein is on the back burner until I decide I can drink one again. I have about 8 ready to drink left so I'll drink them...at some point.

This week's goal? Hit the gym 2 - 3 more times and get down to 250. Increase water up to 64 per day, and eat more dense protein.

Let's see how this goes!

Pretti...Ive been meaning to ask you about those fruity shakes you had in the hospital.do you have any more info? In hindsight were they really good or were you just that thirsty! I know the thirst is real after surgery...

Hi Thinny! They were actually really good lol. I've since sent my husband twice to buy more from a local weight loss clinic. They were called Health Wise and they came in these bottles with just the powder and then you add 8oz of water. Be careful to though - they sell them in individual packets and for some reason, the packets are disgusting. You can taste an overpowering taste of protein. I bought them online by mistake. Stick to the one in the bottles of you get them!

Great thanks. Post a pick if you can...Ill be on the lookout fot those.

Thank y'all so much! I hope it's motivating and it helps to share - keeps me accountable!

A little nausea this evening - I think I just got too hot under my heated blanket. I had been prescribed reglan for nausea so I took one and it went away. Other than that, doing great! Still at 45g of Protein for now. liquids totaled 50 oz across the board with 23 coming from Water. I love my water bottle - it is a godsend now that I have to legit keep up with my water intake!

Hi! Yeah it's the Thermos smart lid bottle. It tracks your sips and ounces per day and tells the temp of your water. It syncs to an app that you download onto your phone.

Hi! Sorry for the late response! It's an actual water bottle, you don't type anything in. It's called the Thermos smart lid water bottle. It tracks your sips and ounces per day and tells the temp of your water. It syncs to an app that you download onto your phone. You can search for it online on the thermos website or just type in "thermos smart lid" on Amazon or google. feel free to ask any questions!
