Tomorrow is THE DAY!!

May 14, 2013

OMG tomorrow is THE DAY!!! I can't believe it!! I'm so excited and nervous. My patient advocate called me and reminded me not to eat. He said some surgeries have been cancelled b/c somebody ate a piece of fruit. I'm not eating JACK!! I have this jello, chicken broth and my water. I've waited too long for this. According to my scale I've lost 21 lbs. I can tell in my face from a picture I took on April 1st. Anywho! Tomorrow this time I'll be IN THE HOSPITAL! Yippie!!!

Quest Bars

Okay, this is just my opinion but these are the nastiest things I've ever tasted. OMG!!!! I bought 4!!! I bought vanilla almond, strawberry cheesecake, apple pie and peanut butter and jelly. I opened the vanilla almond first. Nasty as all get out. Then I opened the strawberry cheesecake better but still nasty. SO my review: Don't torture yourself with these!!!

9 days and counting...

May 05, 2013

OMG!! 9 more days. Let me first say this weekend was rough with the Mayweather fight being hosted at MY HOUSE!! YUK!! I ate mexican bean dip on Saturday and Ham and Cheese sliders...OMG the sliders were so good. While I'm not proud, I can be proud that the next day I got right back on track. Usually when I go south on a diet, I continue to go south. Yesterday I made a protein shake in my blender and didn't use it all. Today I tried to use the remaining amount to make another 1. NOT A GOOD IDEA. It's only good for about 12 hours. After that...Chunk it. YUK!!! I've started taking my multivitamins and I'll go get my B-12 shot this week. I need to get my supplies ready because NEXT WEEK I WILL BE SLEEVED!! WOWOW!!!!!!

2 days left and it's time for Liver Shrink. OMG 16 days until my surgery. I'm so excited. The only thing I'm nervous about is I haven't gathered my supplies! I just can't decide on the best protein. Every time I try to select 1, there are negative reviews on it. They say no to Body Fortress. No to Muscle Milk(this isn't only list). No to the Whey shots. I guess I'll try the syntrax. Nobody has complained about this from what I've seen and they say it's pretty good!! Well...it's almost time!! YAY!! Ready to get rid of this fat around my belly and ovaries!

OMG!!

Apr 25, 2013

OMG! I can't believe I have 5 more days until liver shrink. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I can't believe the time is right around the corner. I want to do well on this because I want to lose a good solid amount of weight before surgery. The professionals state you can lose up to 60% of your body weight. IDK if I want to be 140 but I'll see as I lose weight. I do want at lease SEE the 100's. I just want to go and buy clothes like regular people. A size 10/12 is a pretty good size. I want to get smaller so I can have room to get pregnant and still be at a good weight. Each time I see before and after pictures, I see light at the end of the tunnel. When you've been overweight all of your life, including childhood, you never imagine a day when you won't be. It kind of makes me want to tear up.

Feeling Overwhelmed

Apr 18, 2013

OMG! I'm so excited, but I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I'm moving this weekend to get closer to work to make my workouts more feasible. My liver shrink date is so close and I'm good with that, but it's AFTER the surgery that I'm worried about. I know the criteria for the vitamins, the amount of protein and to exercise, but everything else is where I feel overwhelmed. I see people talking about calories and carbs and sugar...Whew, then I'm trying to figure out what type of protein (Whey or soy or whatever) cause I just read about collagen protein and that's not good. I also don't know what brand of protein to get and how I will get it all in. I think it's just more so that I don't have a plan. I'm supposed to send this 3 day puree diet back to my dietician b4 surgery because this is what I'm supposed to eat after the days after the surgery, but I don't even know what to put on that. It's supposed to be 6 small meals per day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks. The food meals are supposed to be 4 ozs. Ughhhhh, I know I'll be okay once I get a good plan together, I think the problem is I don't really know where to start.

How to contain the excitement

Apr 12, 2013

As each day passes, I get more and more excited. I alternate between nervousness and excitement. I'm nervous because it's so much to learn. It's like taking a class. If you don't do the thing they ask you to do, you could be in big trouble. I'm having a hard time getting all of the rules in my head. I'm excited because I can just visualize my after photos!! Man!!! That just hypes me up!! Another thing I'm dreading is losing my hair. I've been growing my hair and to find out I'm gonna lose it, man...But oh well, it should grow back!!

My First Blog Post

Apr 08, 2013

3 weeks til my Liver Shrink Diet and 5 weeks until surgery!!  With each passing day, I'm getting more and more anxious. I want to be successful. By successful, I mean healthy and I want to look good. It seems like maybe in the last 4 years I've finally come into myself and come to terms with my weight and that weight doesn't have to hinder you from looking beautiful. So with that being said, I'm just ready to get rolling. I'm trying to get in the habit of doing and not doing certain things. For example, I've given up my morning chicken biscuit combo from McDonalds. I have replaced that with either a protein smoothie or oatmeal. Also I've been trying to start working out and taking multivitamins. Most importantly, I've been trying different 0-5 calorie beverages...WHEWW this is going to be tough. I think I may end up sticking with water because that artificial sweetener is gross and it's not very healthy for you either. So what can you do? Anywho...guess I'll stop here!
