HELP!!! THE CARB MONSTER IS TRYING TO GET ME!

I have been doing pre op low carb (Atkins basically) for almost a month and have lost about 32lbs.

Today I am already up around 50 carbs (I try to stay under 30ish)... I wanna binge SO bad... some peanut better crackers... a cookie, some ice cream... yummmmmmmmmm

I am putting my daughter to bed now and starting to plan what I want to eat after she goes down...

HELP!!!

Drink fluids. I bet you will feel full in 30 minutes

Thanks!!!  Hey... I'll be having my surgery in NH too.. not sure which surgeon yet, but Looser is on the list!

Any tips???

 He was excellent!  Had a problem (nothing too serious 6 days out) and he met me at the hospital @ 5:30.  When I called him and got the answering service, he responded to my call in less than 5 minutes.  I here the other two doctors in the practice are greal as well.  I have become friends with someone who had Dr. Pachulli.

My best friend had the RNY up in Manchester and she got great care there too.  
 

Very good to know!  IN the intro session De. Gens got my attention the most, Looser seemed okay and I was kind of put off by the girl, but I guess I'll wait and see... how do you decide on the surgeon, or do they?

 They actually assign you to one but that is because they try and even it out.  You always have the option to tell them who you want to do the surgery and that should be your right.  Is Gens doing the sleeve? I was the second one done (on the same day as the 1st) so we were their firsts and PRH's.  Looser did my surgery and Pachulli did the other one and I thought I heard that Gens specializes in the band (but I could be wrong).  It has been three months now since they started the sleeve with us and I am sure that the sleeve is picking up the pace since most insurance companies are now covering it.  

Congrats on being in the first wave!  When I was talking ot Nancy (the nurse, right?) I was asking their specific stats on the sleeve... she finally said "we've only done 4 and none of them have leaked!" and that was only three weeks ago!!!

I am so excited though!  Glad to hear that you are doing so well!!!

Anything else I should know about the group???

Kanga! 32 pounds down and you don't want to gain any back! Drink a protein shake... Make some cheese crisps... Run as far from the carb monster as you can! You can do it!!
