Week 1... done

Apr 20, 2009

Well, week 1 of all liquick pre-op diet.  No food.  Yeah, that's right.  NO FOOD!!! I was ok until Friday night.  That's when we always go out to dinner.  ALWAYS.  Hubby called and said he was taking my daughter out to dinner.  Didn't want to tempt me.  I know... he's sweet.  But I hated him at that moment.  I wanted to cry. 

Come on now.  Stiff upper lip.  Keep it together, woman.  Breathe deeply.  WAH!!!!! I got angry that I couldn't eat.  I got really angry. 

I went to Ocean State Job lots and walked around.  I put gas in the car.  I chewed some sf gum.  Not his fault.  Not his fault.  This is my choice.  I'm committed to this.  I can make it work.  I can do this... sooo many thoughts running around my mind.

I got hypnosis the Saturday before I started my 2 week pre-op diet.  If it's weren't for that, I think I would have given in.  But my thought was how great I'm going to look when I get into my horse riding clothes and easily get up on my new horse.  OK, I don't have a horse right now, but I will.  I WILL!!

My guided imagery kept me strong.  And I went to my primary care physician on Thursday.  The nurse was going to set my weight.  I said... two sixty somethin. And she said no... 258.  Cool. 

Today, I went to see my WLS doctor for the final check before surgery. I weighed in at 253.  So... I've lost 12 pounds.

Wow!!!  It's true.  It's new.  It's now.
