I have no life :(

I didn't even realize it had been close to a month since I had posted on here! I've been so busy with school that I don't even remember to sleep :) Well if you see by my ticker I have lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks! It has not been easy! This protein diet my doctor has me on is KILLER! I'm actually not as hungry as I was before, but it is the worst between lunch and dinner! It's like my tummy knows that it is going to be fed real food at 6 and it wants it NOW! I haven't been great with the diet either I might have lost an extra 3 or 4 lbs if I had been. I still eat cheese and still have dressings on my salads which are not recommended, but hey either than that I think I'm doing pretty good! Did your doctors have you on a protein diet 4 - 6 weeks before surgery? On all of the blogs that I read I haven't come across somebody who has...

My doctor has let me know I have my pre op appointment on June 18th and I was told the surgery is within 2 weeks of that appointment so let's cross our fingers I'll be celebrating 4th of July with my band. I'm assuming and hoping by the surgery date I'll be down another 10-15 lbs I'm trying to work to getting as low on the scale as possible so when I have to deal with post op and bandster "hell" I don't gain too much!

Now on too the boring stuff. I'm 3 weeks into my first graduate class and boy is it demanding! I was not prepared for the amount of reading I have to do for class... Just this week I had to read close too 300 pages, plus write a discussion question, take a test for class online and finally write a 5-7 page paper before tuesday next week! Yup, no memorial weekend for me :( I hope you guys have a better weekend than me :) be safe!

Day One :(

Ok today is Day One of the pre-op diet! I don't know how some of you did it, but I want to go eat a whole pizza after I get off of work! lol Seriously those protein shakes are like water. I'm so excited for half a chicken breast and veggies tonight!

I know I have great will power, but I dont know if I can handle this. I was going to try to avoid doing the mozarella stick snack and or turkey, but I think I'm going to need it! Do y'all recommend some good protein shakes I feel like the chocolate is going to get to me really quickly!
