October 20th VSG

Hello everyone I am so excited my surgery is scheduled for 10-20-11. I have started my liquid diet, I am doing OK with it and mentally I am prepared for it. My problem I work in a Dr office and the reps have been bringing so much food in... I don't know if it is more lately or I am just recognizing how much I was eating without thinking about it.  Hummmm!

HI Mashelle!!

Food in the office is a toughie.  Try to maybe chew some gum or a SF mint or something to take your mind off of it.  Its funny, my boss is making a rule in our office that nobody can cook or toast anything while I am on my 2 week shake diet.  My office is very small, so she made the other ladies get on board for me!  I'm very lucky to have their support.

Hang in there and I am very happy you are here!

Thanks Jodi, I have always had SF gum thank goodness and you are so lucky to have the support of your boss as well that is so thoughtful... I work in a large clinic where there is no control. By the way I fly to San Diego on the 19th then travel to Mexico for my surgery.... :)

Well, hey, are you staying in SD at all??  I would love to meet up!

-Jodie

Yes, we will be staying overnight in San Diego then being shuttled to the hospital the morning of the 20th. My husband will be with me as well and I would love to meet a fellow baraiatric buddy.        We will be landing around noon so we will be free.... LOL!
