I'm glad to hear it working for you.  I have one week in the opti-fast and sometime i feel like I'm starving ( that's because i am) hahah. Hope this coming week gets easier.  My surgery is on May23 and looking  forward to the surgery.

Yep - that's my check in time for surgery at UCLA (Los Angeles).  OMG that is just too darn early.  Trying to decide if I should just stay awake all night... or what!

With the challenging traffic in Southern California, the 405 (aka no-o-5) we're going down tomorrow afternoon and stay near the UCLA campus. 

Here's to the new me... the new journey... and regaining my health!

YEAH!!
Highest weight 395#. Surgery weight 325#. VSG on May 14, 2012 with Dr. Amir H. Mehran at UCLA.     Life & challenges are what we make them -- this new beginning is what I make it!

That's great. I'm glad you are not sick of the shakes yet. I started drinking some fat free chicken broth with unflavored jello dissolved in it for extra protein, and that has made all the difference. Something savory and warm instead of sweet and cold all the time. My hubs is getting us a treadmill so we can *both* use it! This is a huge step for him! I'm so proud...

Congrats!!!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

Oh best of luck to you on the 15th!! Yea so far I have been lucky that I am not sick of the drinks yet...having a supportive spouse is great! He said last night when I asked if he wanted me to make him dinner " NO I am not going to have you cook, then have us eat in front of you (my 20 year old son lives with us right now, to save money, he usually fends for himself). My hubby then said, if we just make sure we have stuff in here that we can fix we will just eat on a different schedule so you don't have to see it...How sweet is that, I really thought that is what he was doing because he gets home from work 21/2 hours before I do and I noticed he wasn't eating when I am home, evertime I would ask him if he was hungry he says nope I am good I had something. Then last night he says I am ready to get healthy with you so once I start cooking again and am trying out all these healthy recipes I guess he will try them as well.....

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

I have a great husband also. Lucky girl...I am tired of the shakes though. I have been on pre-op since saturday. My boss brought doughnuts to work today and I hid in my office like a coward until I was sure they were eaten!!!  My surgery is the 15th and I just had my last preop appt. with my doc this morning. Nervous, excited and hungry. Best of luck to you!!!

My hubby is wonderful! Yea I have been doing okay actually I have stuck to the plan with only protein drinks and some SF jello and broth when I really need it and I am making sure and getting all my water it..I too make sure I have my amount of drinks ready for the day and pack them to take them to work (well I don't take them all I leave a couple for home)...lol
