Hi Everybody!!  We are getting quite a posse going here!!

Happy Monday and I hope everyone had a nice weekend...

I had a great time meeting YelloModelChick this weekend (hey girl!!) and she is getting sleeved up on Wed. SOO EXCITING!!

I am 1 week away from my surgery date and am getting geared up!!  I have a TON to get done before then, and somehow I will get it all done... (hope and pray!)

AND... I have lost 15 lbs in the past week on my pre-op diet! YAY!! 

Have a wonderful day everybody,
Jodie

 (funny, I don't know how to fix my ticker to show my loss!)

I love your energy and enthusiasm! Girl you are getting me fired up and excited too!!
Have a wonderful day and rock that sleeve!!

 HI ready well My pre-op lasted for about a month and it consisted and still consists of water, broth, boost protein, 2 Sf jellos a day, 2 SF popsicles a day, I am trying to get in 64 oz of liquids whi*****lude SF Koolaid, Water, Iced Tea, Apple Juice today I only got in about maybe 1/2 of 64 oz. I am walking about 30 mins a day breaking it into 5 and 10 mins each time. I am feeling dizzy and getting discouraged because it hurts to swallow, I chew alot on ice chips. I need some serious pep talk and help before I scream :(

Yay!!

Hola

Congrats to you also!! I'm just sippin' away & walking. Next Tuesday I can start creamy soups, of course no lumps or bumps...so I'm excited about that!! Sorry about the way your feeling, hopefully the boost will hurry up & kick in for you!! Day 21 I get to start mushy foods!! I just drink my h20, Isopure & broth once in a while...Oh & decaf coffee in the Am. So weird that I don't feel hungry at all. I tried the s/f popsicle and that was a no no, didn't agree with me!! It's like I felt it inside!!! So room temps works for me!!

Feel better!!

I was sleeved on October 11th, i admit I woke up from the anesth and was like WTF what did I DO??

But I went home Wednesday and now I am so HAPPY. The pain isn't too bad, I am able to eat my popsicles, jello, water and broth with no problems! Even pills have gotten easier! 

I have already planned out my smooshed food for Tuesday! I am a huge shrimp eater so I am going to start with blended shrimp with some ****tail sauce and salt and pepper.. and my sister actually has chickens so I can't wait for my scrambled egg breakfast to kick off! I know one food at a time but MAN have I got some plans for this next month!

I did do a bad thing this morning.. I had a half of a one egg scrambled (about 1 ounce, no milk no butter just Pam) with my popsicle breakfast this morning with no repurcussions but I know that was dumb luck so I am waiting till tuesday to do that again.

I have stocked my shelves with condensed fat free soups for blending with my meal and with plain Greek yogurt since it is so high in protein ( I even have a plan for ground up ground turkey blended with skim milk ricotta with a special low acid tomato sauce. ... now the fact each of these masterpieces will be 2 ounces a piece has not kept my imagination from running wild. I am watching every low fat cooking show to absorb tips PLUS I bought an awesome post surgery cookbook that is so great!

I weighed myself this morning and found that I am down 44 pounds since August 8th  which is 44 pounds in 72 days. (12 since surgery last week)

I am so excited for us fellow sleevers WE CAN DO THIS! Sorry for being nutty but I am SO ready for this!
