Sailed thru my diet check in!!

So stoked. I worked my butt off for the weight to come off the tiny bit that it did.. 2lbs for a month, but I am so glad.

I only have 4 more weeks of this stupid diet then I can get on with the approval process!!!!!!  April 8 is my final diet check in.

And... even better news... Tomorrow is my last day on steroids. They have, yet again, helped my back, which is good. I don't want to get stuck taking pain meds before the surgery. I don't want to end up with any kind of resistance.

So thank you all for your wildly swinging lizards and various other animals, body parts, and co workers.

You all are the best support a girl can get.

Congratulations!!!! 

Do what you have to do to keep your stress level down by proper pain control... you would not be the first person to be on medication for pain... they will adjust and monitor appropriately.  Just my sometimes humble opinion. 

4 weeks will fly by!!  :-)

Oh Kelly,
  I'm so happy for you..Keep on this path and it will all work out just fine. I can't wait to hear how things go in 4 weeks. Keep us all posted...Everything will be happening before you know it...

Take Care
April

Woo Hoo.  I know you are doing the happy dance. 

i was on hydrocodine at night, still have on a half dose at night for chronic pain and they never blinked at it.  Those few days before surgery that I had to give up my ibroproten were hell but it was worth it.  There are days I would love to pop a few, but of course, don't. 

Price,
I hear you on wanting to pop a few Alieve.  I am only a few days away from my surgery and I have not been able to use my alieve.  So many days I needed fsome or all the pain I have but I just toughed it out.  I figure I better get used to since I can't have it after surgery anyways.  Tylenol does nothing for me.

Great news! Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear your back is feeling better and you are getting closer to a date.

I'm sorry but I don't think we have met....WELCOME!!   I haven't been able to spend much time on the boards because of a few family crisises but things are calming down now. 

Congrats on your up coming date!!  I think the pre diets are a good way to get our systems and minds prepared for the exciting ride you are about ready to take.  It looks like you did a great job!

Glad your back is feeling better!!!

congratulations!  Wish you all the best!

Wonderful, wonderful news!
