Well... my surgery is 3 days away. The diet has been going well although I have had some weak moments.

I'm looking forward to the new me!

My mom is coming up to be with me after the surgery. She'a arriving the day of the surgery. I am so glad for her to come!

Okay... day 3...

So far so good. I havent had any broth since Tuesday. I prefer the protein shakes and water and 4C. 

I am somewhat hungry, but I am okay.

Yesterday was a test. The kids wanted McDonalds. Of course, I didn't want to go there, but I went. 

I didn't eat ANYTHING!!!!!

It was hard... I am so used to just snatching a fry or something, but I didn't touch a thing... my mouth was watering like crazy.

BUT I PASSED MY SELF GIVEN TEST!

I am low on protein taoday, but I'm going to go make a shake now. I'm feeling good and I hope you are too.

Later Days!

Okay... I made it through day one. Exactly 2 weeks from now I will be under God's Care during my surgery (not that I'm not under his care now, because I am). I did okay yesterday. This is what I ate yesterday:

-3 8oz Protein Shakes made with Fat Free Milk - 93g Protein
-1 Sugar Free Ice Pop
-1 Profect Protein Drink (2.9 oz) - 25g Protein
-14 oz Chicken Broth
-12 oz Beef Broth - 6g Protein
-16 oz Water
-20 oz 4C Totally Light (4C version of Crystal Light)

My protein goal is 91g of Protein per day. I wonder if there is such a thing as too much Protein? I got 124g yesterday.

Thats a lot if liquid. I'm hoping that my will power will allow me to keep it up. Whenever I get the urge to want to eat, I try to remember what my goal is, and how if I keep at it now, it will pay off later on.

I've turned my focus to God. He is going to be my strength when I feel like this is all for nothing. He will give me strength when I am weak. I am praying for strength and willpower. Pray with me as I am praying for those of you going through the weight loss struggle.

Yesterday I got a call from Dr. Trieu's office asking me if 04/04 was an okay surgery date...

OF COURSE IT IS!!!! Last night was an okay date too, but I'll wait, lol.

Now begins the liquid diet.

So far today I have had 2 protein shakes, 8 oz of chicken broth and 1 sugar free ice pop.

Pray that I can be strong and get through the next two weeks on a clear liquid diet...
