My back fat is still present and accounted for 😡

My face is slimmer. I always lose in my face and boobs first.

I am so sorry i should have said my back fat ran away for a few days. My face is not as plump as it was but I'm happy we all are noticing differences in our body 😎

Problem. The hospital just called me and said that I have to get blood work done tomorrow, asap. When she called, at 6:30 by the way, I was out in the middle of town without a pen and she told me a list of tests I needed. However I don't think that I got the correct name for one of them. Here are the ones she said:
CBC
Complete Metabolic Panel
PTT
Then the one I'm confused about. I thought she said DISS, but I can't find anything. Can you guys provide any help?

Maybe DIC? It came up on google as part of the metabolic panel.

I couldn't find my list. But probably what Sweet said. I would think the hospital or lab would know what to draw for it.

I am wide awake tonight and I have to get up early for work. I keep thinking of more stuff I need to get done before my dh and I head to Mexico on Sunday morning. I ordered a Ninja blender and some Vitamins this past Monday and they arrived today. I am hoping I can make some Protein Shakes that taste better then the ones I have tried thus far.

I hope everyone had a good day. Only three more days to go until surgery day!!

Sure hope you got your sleep in @Apple1 I'm the opposite, I've been waking up at 5am wide awake this past week or so. Wish I would stop doing that. Surgery isn't even on my mind when I wake up. Ugh. Maybe it's subconsciously, I don't know.

You guys made my day i was feeling so happy that i forgot all about what i wrote. I won't let myself down. Thank you we are all in this together. May 15 here we come. Yes i will@Apple1!

I think it's easier leading up to the surgery to question what we are doing.. the last two days I've questioned is it selfish? It's a lot of money I have a family.. what am I putting myself through just to be slim? But what I've realised is as a mother and wife and a person I always put everyone else first. I have low self esteem and I realise this is why I'm questioning.. but it's okay to put ourselves first.. our health and to feel good.. so come Monday I will be on a flight as will you all having surgery.. because we are worth it 😁

It is probably subconsciously like you said. I am a little tired today but that could also be from lack of caffeine lol. I miss my coffee. I hope everyone has a Good Friday!!

Are you having surgery in Mexico also? Can I ask who your surgeon is? Maybe I will see you there.

You are absolutely right. We are worth it!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
