Well I made it through the weekend and Monday and now I only have to get through Tuesday and I will have made it!  The weekend had it's highs and lows but I have kept with it and the end is near!  Although once this phase ends another one begins but I will be on the losers bench then! 

Well I'm still walking and suprisingly I'm loving it!  I can have a hard time getting out the door, I mean I am a fat lazy woman, but once I do force myself out I enjoy hoofing it around the neighborhood.    I doubled my route and I can make it all the way without back pain.  Woo Hoo I'm doing something!!!!!

Alright well Monday is about over for me, bring on Tusday so Wednesday can get here! 

Well I haven't blogged like I had planned on I am now on day 6 and at times I feel like I'm going a little crazy!  The head hunger feels like it's going to drive me insane   But for the most part I'm doing ok on this preop diet and I was going good counting down the days.  I've started walking and I'm having less back pain and no wheezing so I'm super excited about that. 

Then what I knew was going to happened, happened!  My surgery got moved from the 25th to the 27th.  I know it's only 2 days but it feels like FOREVER!  I just feel like I've had to wait so long that something else is going to happen between now and next Wednesday and it's going to be post phoned again.

Uggh!  I'm going to stop now and go enjoy some BBQ soy nuts! 

Woo Hoo I made through two whole days, it feels like I've been doing this diet a lot longer then two days!   I mean the food and drinks are alright, some I like and some I can tolerate.  I have to admit I've had more head hunger for fatty foods, but then of course I'd want those, look at me ... I didn't get to this weight by eatting carrots ... give me cheeseburger and fries!!!!  I find when I start craving bad foods if I get up and move  it helps or I can always grab a sf popsicle and try to tell myself it's better than that cheeseburger.

Well tomorrow is 1 week from my scheduled surgery date.  I really don't think the surgery is going to happen on the 25th, I am almost positive it will be moved to the 27th so I'm trying not to hype myself up for the 25th.  Either way, I can get through another 8-10 days!  I am a stong motivated woman who knows what she wants and how to get it.  I quit smoking cold turkey with no drugs after almost 17 years and today marks 6 months smoke free. 

I am dedicated and on a mission to get healthier and change my life for the better.  So I can do this diet and whatever else they throw at me cause I WILL be on the losers bench before November 1st! 

Shocking day 1 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I had heard a few horror stories about the food but I was very shocked that I thought it wasn't bad and actually some of it was GOOD!  I did have a problem with one of the protein drinks but only because I couldn't get it to mix completely and hated swallowing those powdery chunks !  But I enjoyed the protein bar and bbq soy nuts, the entree was not the greatest but it wasn't bad and it's better then liquid only!  I did stop and pick up some sugar free jello and Popsicles which will help when the urge to snack is high.  I even made Aaron dinner tonight and it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.  That might just be because it's day 1 and on day 8 I might be so hungry I want to lick the scalding pan!  I think next week I'm going to do crock pot dinners for him so he can eat before I get home.

Today being a non work day I'm a little worried cause being a fat woman I know if I'm doing nothing the urge to snack is very high.  So I have plans to clean and do yard work since the weather is cooperating.  Tomorrow I think I'll head over to the folks for the day to get out of the house.

I'm anxious to find out if my surgery is going to stay scheduled for the 25th or if it will be moved to the 27th.  Either way is fine it's just all my time off and everything has been approved for the 25th and after all the stalls and everything I'm just ready to get it done!  Oh well I've either got 9 days or 11 days and that's not too bad. 

 

Today I start my pre-op diet.  I'm nervous becasue I know this is going to be hard but  I'm excited to finally get this started. The sugery countdown has begun ... 10 days and counting!!
