So glad to hear things are going well for you Tracy.

Wow, 30 lbs. already, that is great !!! Keep it up... your walks must be
helping a lot too.The walks and fresh air help the spirits too. I am so
happy you are on the road to a new life.... Keep going !!!!

Hey Tracy,

That sounds awesome - you are so lucky to have the time to focus on yourself - I am finding it challenging now that I am back to work.  We had a work luncheon meeting at a Mexican restaurant today and, while I only had three of them, my lunch was nachos covered in ground beef, cheese and guacamole! Don't even ask me about what happened this evening when I found out my favourite Chinese food restaurant that had been closed for renovations had reopened...

Actually, it wasn't too bad in the end.  The great thing about Sleevie is that he doesn't let us really overeat. Otherwise, up-chuck time! 

I find it is really important for me to religiously journal everything I eat, so when I make poor choices (like today), I still have the stats of exactly what the impact was - which I find very motivating to just do better the next day.

Love you, girlfriend - stay strong. :)

JDEON, im just curious, how did u fine the week befor surgury on just liquids?
and how r u finding it since your surgery ? is it  hard just only being able
to have liquids ? do  u feel hungry or anything ??

Hey NSS,

All liquids was hard at first - I actually had to do 3 weeks, as my 2 week trial and my 8 day pre-op were back-to-back. It is really a time when you learn what you're made of.

I have actually blogged about it all, pre-and post-op, good, bad and ugly - you can check it out on the link below. :)

Totally happy to answer your questions!

Cheers,
Jenn
