Liquid diet...hmmm
Jan 01, 2013
So I started my liquid diet today. I have known that I had to start the liquid diet for over a year now. When I woke up this morning, I went straight for waffles, still not remembering that I had to start the liquid diet today. I ate the waffles, and while I was sucking them down, I realized....OOOPS....I messed up. I feel so guilty, because this has to work for me, and If I can't even remember to do the liquid diet, then I am screwed! The rest of my day has to be liquid diet.

January 1st-27 days to go!
Jan 01, 2013
I woke up this morning still in disbelief that my surgery is in 27 days. January 28th will be a new beginning for me. As I look at the before and after pictures of people who have already had surgery, I just can't imagine being thin. I have always wanted to be that girl that people say is little, or cute. The only regret I have is that I didn't do this sooner. I will be at my goal weight before my 40th birthday, and that is an awesome feeling. 40 is the new 30 right?? I look at my pictures now and can't fathom feeling pretty, or not being disgusted when I look in the mirrors, or see my image as I walk past a window. This site has been an amazing source of encouragement and am very excited to continue this journey with everyone here.

Anyone have Dr. Zogafrakis in Akron OH???
Jul 26, 2012
I was just curious how this works. I am in my 4th month of diet and exercise with With Dr. Wells and Noel. The first 2 months I lost up to 14 lbs. I just went yesterday to weigh in and I had gained 7. This month was crazy with the holiday and birthdays. I was so embarrassed. My fear is that They will see that and Dr Z will not do the surgery if I don't end up losing the 15-20 lbs that they want me to. Any thoughts???

SOO Hard!! and a vitamin question
Jul 08, 2012
So, I vowed to give up sugary drinks! Well today is my first full day of it and I have a horrible headache. I went into the kitchen at work and out of habit got a cup and started pouring coke into it. I caught myself and dumped, but not without contemplating drinking it. Sugar is evil! I want a coke so bad, but I also know that getting rid of it before my surgery is the best thing to do. I don't want to be shocked after my surgery, when I can't have it.
My vitamin questions is: Has anyone started taking their vitamins months before the surgery? I have considered this, I am sure it can't hurt since, I don't take any now. Just curious?

Giving up sugary drinks....
Jul 07, 2012
Today I am giving up sugary drinks. I knew this day was coming, and I want to prepare myself as much as I can for surgery and Post op. It is so hard. I wanted a Coke so bad today and gave in when I went to Sams club! I need to be strong! Sugar is my downfall, and since we can't have sugar, I have to ween myself off it!! Has anyone else done this? How did you do it?? Any feedback would be great!!

2 down 4 to go
Jun 25, 2012
I had my 2nd appointment with the dietician, and lost 5lbs. I am glad I only have 4 more months to go before we can schedule my surgery. I am anxiously waiting for that day. I look at the before and after pictures of these people online and can't fathom feeling that good or looking that good. I am amazed at the transformations. I met with the surgeon last week too. Dr. Zografrakis at Summa in Akron. He is amazing! I am so glad I started this journey. I will no doubt succeed in this, because I so badly want to be healthy for my family. My blood pressure was up at my appointment with the surgeon, and just hearing him say that after the surgery I wont have to worry about that, made me so happy! I can't wait!

5/22/12 the beginning
May 23, 2012
Today I officially began my journey! I met with the Diet and Exercise Doctor. They want to see me lose 15-20 lbs in the next 5 months. I guess this helps my "case". I am willing to do anything and everything to have this surgery! So my wonderful hubby went out and bought foods from the list I received. All I can think about is the surgery! I am obsessed with it. I wish I didn't have to wait 6 months, but I know I will be prepared.
