    Doing awesome, down 20+ already in 2 weeks (-).... Crazy!! And feeling great. Surgery was a lot better than expected. Went in on Monday and came home on Wednesday afternoon. They kept me an extra day as I was having some issues with maintaining the water intake... Nothing major just that I wasn't taking enough in fast enough for their liking. Since home all good. Each day I get stronger. First couple of days definitely rest up... Walk a little but let your body heal. Started stage 2 diet (mush) but I am really sticking with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch then sone cottage cheese for dinner... And a lot of water... In talking with my Dr. He advised to take advantage of this stage of the recovery and if not hungry... Don't Eat!! He said take this time to break the old habits and Only eat when you feel the hungry... Your body will be fine just make sure your getting the protein thru the shakes. And then when weight is off.. You then eat to maintain.

    So advice on your upcoming surgery... Stay calm... Get excited... And get into the mindset it's a week out of your life with aa little discomfort to gain an Avenue to a whole another world! Biggest discomfort is the gas pains the first 3 days which you control with deep breathing and pain meds... The drinking water thing gets better every day... Now for me it's day 10 after surgery and no issue. Well hope that helps... My thoughts and prays are with you.... Paul

Somebody shoot me!!

by LetsDoThis on 11-07-2013 at 01:07 AM
I am beyond Calgon at this point..lol

After returning home late this past Friday night from my friend's wedding.. Not only attending but I doubled as photographer as well.. I spent my weekend editing and weeding through pictures.. On top of lacrosse.. This past weekend's lax was not for my daughter but for a few girls that we have as clients (coaching and training).. Now it's Wednesday.. I'm clueless where the past few days have gone, even though I have been running from appointment

Traveling and dropping the pounds!!

by LetsDoThis on 10-28-2013 at 12:40 AM
So it's been over a week.. Maybe 1.5 to 2 weeks that I've been on. I'm feeling like it's confession..lol

At last minute my daughter and I drove to Georgia and then South Carolina for lacrosse. My daughter plays, and isn't to shabby..lol well I was worried about what I could eat while traveling. I now really can tell how much my taste in food has changed. I know the reason behind it is going for the time I did without sugars.. Or really minimizing them is a huge factor. Once the sugars

I want to puke!!!

by LetsDoThis on 10-08-2013 at 10:38 PM
Okay yesterday I went to GNC and purchased their women's liquid vitamin. Now when I was making said purchase my brain was screaming at me to stop!! Telling me I wouldn't like it.. But I was like "brain shut your mouth, you don't know what you're saying".. I even asked the GNC guy about the taste.. To his defense he did not come out and say I'd want to puke, even though I strongly expressed I did not want to puke. He said "It's like drinking a shot, do it fast and you'll have it done

My bit of crazy..

by LetsDoThis on 10-06-2013 at 09:29 PM
So this morning I stepped on the scale and was down another pound. Woo hoo!! :-) I haven't adjust it yet on my profile yet because I'm goofy like that and wait 2 days for a confirmed number..lol that way also I don't flip out if the scale goes back up a pound the next day.. I realize my diet will trigger it to bounce around, so I'm trying to keep tabs on that.

Tuesday will be the start of week 5 (28 days post-op). I haven't started my exercise routine yet. I was told to wait until
