I started my pre-op diet one week ago today and when I weighed in this morning I was down 5 lbs!!!  I am happy.  I was actually hoping for 7 lbs, but I'm really happy with 5.  As everyone knows, the first week is the hardest.  I won't say it's much easier, but I am determined to get this weight off so I can schedule my surgery at my next appointment which is August 3. 

Hope everyone is doing good.  Best wishes to all!

...my latter WILL be greater!

On July 6, I went to Oklahoma for the consultation with my surgeon.  Because I am an out of town patient, I also met with the dietician, the phychologist (very interesting) and exercise.  I can finally say, the ball is rolling down the lane and I'm lining up for a STRIKE!  The unfortunate part is that I have to lose 30 pounds pre-op.  So, the dietician put me on an "agressive" diet so that I can get the weight off. I started the diet yesterday.  I'm all in, I'm focused, and most of all, I'm determined to get this weight off so that I can have the surgery soon.  I think my body is in total shock! :)  Who on earth came up with these protein shakes???  OMG, can you say ICK?  I literally have to force them down.  All in all, this is a good thing because when I do have the surgery, I will already be used to eating healthier, and making much better choices.  I'm not going to lie, I'm a carb-a-holic!!! AND, I love sweets; but that was then....this is now. 

This is the second day of the diet, and I'm doing ok. My next appointment is August 3, so I have 3 1/2 weeks to go.  I'm going to need a little encouragement along the way, so please feel free to stop in and give me a PUSH from time to time! I appreciate each and every one of you.  Your posts have been such an inspiration to me and everyday I look forward to your words of wisdom.  Keep 'em coming!

To God be the glory!

MY LATTER WILL BE GREATER!
