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,

3 months to go

Today I ordered some vitamin samples and more protein samples. I don't want to get too much of any one thing I may not like after. There's not much else new yet. Just have to wait to schedule my appts and surgery.

Just checking in.

I'm ready!

This is my stash so far. The box on the floor has vitamin and protein samples. Still pretty excited at this point. I started a weekly countdown on my work calendar. 16 weeks to go! I have made an outline of how my YouTube videos are going to go. And daily blog entries while I'm off from work.

Somehow I'm the last few weeks, I have decided I want to start the couch to 5k program. I have never run and even hated it in high school. But I'm willing to try because I need to prove to myself I can stop being lazy and do something good for me. I found a fun version of the ct5k called Zombies run! Narrates in between your tracks for a story. I'm excited to try this program and will review it once I have started it.

I think Tim is getting tired of me talking about my surgery too. But we'll cross that bridge another time. Anyways, laters lovies.

17 weeks to go.

So.. 17 weeks to go until surgery. I'm getting excited. I will start recording videos of reviews of samples I have around now.. I have amassed quite a large stash. I'm only going to review things I have a before and after amount of. 

Speaking of recording, Also tried to see how YouTube likes my webcam built into my laptop.. it doesn't. 
lots off video lag. so .. my HTC ONE  wins again. I did a sample video for both and there was ZERO lag with the phone. 

I'm getting addicted to pinterest.. There should be a warning label on their website sign up page. pinning all kinds of info and recipes.. 

And I have lost 14lbs from Jan at my first appt to now. I have been trying to eat less and kicked my diet coke and now the tea and i'm solely on water. Water reduces the foods I eat by half because a lot of things don't taste right to me if i'm drinking water with them. Or they make my tummy hurt.. Like popcorn... my tummy hates mixing popcorn and water. so water wins! 

so lovies, time for bed. early morning. <3
