Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone

Well the week is almost over!!!  I will probably finish the rest of my Christmas shopping this weekend.  I also have baby showers to shop for too.  Both of my friends are doing great.  Their babies are doing great too. 

Well I decided to take my measurements the other day and compare them to before I had surgery.  I lost quite a few inches.  I lost the most around my waist...I lost 5 inches.  I knew my clothes were getting bigger.  I guess I just needed to prove I was getting smaller. 

Sheri- I hope your fill wen well.

Paul-  I saw the pictures of your daughter's doll bed and it was beautiful.  I had no idea how talented you are.

Well I hope everyone has a nice day. 




 

 

Good Morning Crystal and Illinois,
Crystal, Did you realize it is Thursday and not Wednesday.  You named the post Wednesday Roll Call :) lol

I felt a difference in drinking yesterday, but I have not eaten yet today, so we will see when I eat breakfast, I hope this was the one.  He said I am eating too many carbs so he wants me to as he put it  "restart Atkins on steroids" and that should jump start the weight loss.  I am glad I found Dr Lahman, he is willing to come down on you when you need it, but not be mean about it.  The surgeon that did my surgery, never gave you any advice.

Hope everyone is doing well, another long day at work, but then I can go home and watch Survivor and Supernatural.


Have a good day

Sheri

 

OMG...I know it's Thursday...what was I thinking!!!

Good morning everybody,

I got the call last night from Silver Cross and It looks like I will be checking in for my surgery on Monday at 1pm. It doesn't look like my actual surgery will be until 3 or 4pm but it is good to finally have a time. It was instructed to cut off food at midnight on Sunday and not drink anything past 8am. I may be so darn hungry that I beg the anesthesiologist to knock me out early.

Thanks
Omar

Good morning IL

Crystal, I thought I'd do my measurements tonight and record them.  5 " at your waist is wonderful!  Your pants will be falling down!  LOL 

Sheri, glad to hear your fill went ok.  I am seeing Dr. Joyce, so glad to hear you like his partner, too.  Good luck with the Atkins restart!  I'm on their pre op diet, which is Atkins shakes for BF and Lunch, 3 oz protein and 1/2 cup veggies for dinner and then 2 servings each when you want of SF popcicles, SF Jello and 1/2 C broth.  Then, of course, all the water, at least 64 oz.  I've lost 6 lbs since Monday!  You might give that a try to start and move onto the full Atkins after a week orso.

Omar, good for you getting surg. scheduled.  I am really hoping for an earlier time, but we'll see what happens.  How long will you be in the hospital?  HOw is your pre op diet going?  After I got over my caffeine and sugar withdrawal headaches, I''ve been doing ok.

Rest of IL, Have a super day!  georgie

Hi Georgie,

Looks like I wont be released until Wednesday. I think technically after you clear the swallow test and use the facilities you are safe to go home but the doc charges the insurance for 2 nights so in there minds you might as well stay. In any event it is better to safe then sorry. Preop is still rolling along, I noticed that my weight loss has slowed down to around 1 a pound a day. In the begining I was consistently dropping 2 lbs a day but it looks like my body finally caught up. I am still eating the exact same meals and portions but the body may be resisting a little. I really can't complain because as of this morning I am down 20lbs from Oct 19 but it did make me feel like I was doing something wrong. The caffeine, sugar and carb withdrawl is brutal the first few days but you do adjust. I know I personally was miserable last wednesday but now I need to remind myself to drink the shakes. It is very weird... which reminds me.... Shake time.....I am so happy that we are going through this now and not on Thanksgiving week. I may have broken down on that week.

My surgery was scheduled late in the day too.  I thought I would be soooo hungry and thirsty but I wasn't.  I think it was because I was so excited.  I didn't even think about food all day.  I did cheat a little and had a "last" meal.   

I have to admit that I did have 1 spider man themed Popsicle that wasn't sugar free and it was so damn good. But then I got so paranoid about them not being able to perform my surgery laparoscopicly (Sp?) that I have been good ever since.

You are on your way Omar
