Thanks for the ideas. I was trying to get pages done so that all I will have to do is place the photos later but I was getting bogged down. I really like some of your ideas for pages.
Your date is fast approaching. Good luck!

My surgery was 3/8 and as of today I am down 50 lbs exactly. I have found that the more protein I eat/drink in a day the more I lose! I keep finding out new info and each week is better than the week before.
Did you know you should have your calcium citrate on an empty stomach so it absorbs better and you can ONLY absorb 500mg at a time, so space it out throughout the day and don't take at the same time as iron or multi-vitamins.
So many little things like that that are soooo important!!
Anyway, I am so excited!! This is a definite mile-marker for me! Yay!!

We have to keep this board going! I get lots of ideas from here. So here's my first post ever!
I started my WLS scrapbook this past weekend. My surgery date is Monday the 9th - and I'm just so excited! I actually 'borrowed' ideas from twopeasinabucket.com and from here. I'm doing my album in the 8x8 format and I actually finished 9 pages this weekend. I'm hoping to finish more pages before my surgery.
So far I have:
1-Title page (which I embellished with a cloth measuring tape)
2-"Before" page (complete with measurements and photo)
3-"Foods I'll Miss The Most" page
4-"Things I'll Do When I'm Skinny" page
5-"My Doctor and Nurse" (embellished with hospital stickers from Karen Foster) - and room for journaling and photos of both doctor and nurse.
6-"On The Mend" (also embellished with hospital stickers from Karen Foster) - also room for journaling and photos of my support team (hubby and parents)
7-"My Visitors" - lots of room for visitors to "sign in"
8-"Post Op" - room for photo and journaling after surgery
9- "Keys to my Success" - sort of reminders to get vitamins, protein, etc.
I want to start some more pages so all I'll have to do is "slap" in the photos as I progress. I wasn't sure whether to do monthly pages, or 'milestone' pages. Got any ideas on that one? How about ideas for other pages?
I do hope we can keep this board going!

Oh wow!! How cool!! I need to get started on mine. I wish they had weight loss embellishments. If anyone ever finds some embellishments for weight loss journeys, exercises, diets, scales, measurements, etc. please let me know where!

Oh wow!! Wish I lived out east with you! That sounds fun! I've never been to anything like that. Maybe they'll have one in Phoenix one day. Yay!

It will be my trump card for when things seem rough.
I LOVE THAT!!!!! That is so true! These WLS scrap books should be for our viewing pleasure only because only we know the depth of our pre-op state and little things along the way that are triumphs for us. I liked that, Cheryl. You are so positive and enthusiastic and wonderful!! So glad you are here!
