About Me

So I get asked, " Nyree, why are you doing this?" Well, I found myself working three straight weeks of 12-16 hour days during Hurricane Sandy. Meals provided, snacks and energy drinks brought with me to keep me awake all day and night. During that three weeks, I gained 30 lbs. I was already pretty heavy and that just added to it. One night when driving home from work, I found that my stomach was driving for me. I sucked it in all the way home and cried myself to sleep. The next day I went to work and on my breaks I researched my local hospital's bariatric program. And here I am lovies. Starting this wonderful trek to finding the real me.

Dates!

Pre admission testing and pre-op with the surgeon on 9/26 with surgery scheduled for 10/8. SOOOOO excited. and they have already scheduled my post op appts too. They are on the ball.. 55 days to go til surgery. I am a mixed bag of emotions.. Part of me is nervous that its so close. Anxious that something's gonna go wrong. Excited its finally set. determined not to fail.


Also, I made my food funeral list. Its longer than I thought. But my final meal is going to be sushi.

pre op appt

I am going crazy!

I have left multiple messages for the Dr'd office. Emails. I need to schedule my pre op appt for Sept before its too late. And i'm not getting any responses. Its killing me.

I'm a planner and if i cant plan everything out it drives me nuts and i get anxious. I was told my my nut that my pre op liquid diet would be 4 days. Found out from other patients of my dr last night, 2 weeks. UGH.

but

I have prepared my notebook for my blogs and youtube vlogs.
I am so ready.

Calcet Creamy bites ( review)

I ordered both flavors and received them yesterday.

There are 30 per box. 500 mg per chew.

They are amazing. Plain and simply put.
The chocolate tastes like a decadent creamy fudge and the lemon is like a cute lemon nougat petit four.
They melt in your mouth and go down smooth. You can find them online only so far. I haven't been able to locate them at a physical store. But I have purchased about 4 months worth.


Try them out they are worth it. You don't even realize you are eating a vitamin,
