Pre-op diet phase
12/18/2007- I FUCKIN HATE MY BODY
12/18/2007-The office Christmas party.  I really feel like a pig.  I ate to much.  I have really been eating stupid these last few days anyway.  So anyway I ate nachos, meatballs, a chicken wing (fried ofcourse), and a piece of cake.  Now although It was only a little of everything I am still mad at myself.  I have no idea how many caloriex I consumed, and I still ate past satisfied.  I think it is time for a fill, but I am going out of town on sat., so I will have to see about that when I get back.  Other than that I have been making bad food choices even though for the most part I have been able to keep track of my calorie intake and I have been working out everyday.  I have been able to work harder at the gym then when I started, which I guess is a good thing.  I have not been on the scale in a week, and it is all I have been thinking about.  I am scared to get on it out of fear that I have gained.  But it is driving me crazy not to know.  Even though I know that within this week I my calorie intake has been low enough to where I should have atleast shed 3 lbs.  But I am soooooo scared to step on the scale.  I said I would not weight myself until right before I go to Chicago on sat. but I really think I am gonna mess up and weigh myself today, because this waiting is driving me crazy!!!!
12/11/2007-It has been long while....lol I know sometimes I just get to lazy to type. Surgery has come and gone!  It has been 1 1/2 month.  I have lost 33lbs.  This is cool, but I am rather impatient and I want to lose much more quickly.  I have been exercising like everyday.  Cardio for 30 minutes everyday and strengths training for 30 minutes 3 times a week.  I feel like I am already at a plateau, and I am not happy.  I had to force myself to stopp stepping on the scale 4 to 5 times a damn day.  I actually had to put my scalle in my car.  I told myself that I would not step on it until the day I go visit with my fam in chicago on the 22nd.  I wanted to be down to 300lbs b then but it doesn't look like it is gonna happen.  My weight seemed to be fluctuating between 322 and 318, wtf, so frustrating.  i feel like I may be doing something wrong, what I do not know.  Anyway I will keep ya'll updated. 

10/12/2007- I started my pre-op diet today!  I was feelin pretty hungry.  I went out to celebrate my friend getting a new job.  I bought a grilled chicken sandwiche  and took off the bread.  I wanted that bread so badly!!!  But I did good.  The protein shakes are not great but I can take them.  I used to eat popcorn everyday
I miss it already. do that this time.

10/13/2007- Today is really hard.  It is  sat. and I am sittin at home bored.  I usually eat when I am bored.  I couldn't though sigh........... I miss popcorn.  I was hungry again, hunger headaches all day.  I am going to buy some appetite suppressants from GNC tomorrow.  I can take the hunger headaches, I fell I might cheat.  I drank a shake for breakfast, a cup of grapes for a snack, 1 baked chicken breast for lunch, and one baked chicken breast for dinner. 

10/14/2007-I bought my appetite suppressants from GNC today.  I bought the truu hoodia complex pills.  I was really skeptical about them working, but they did!  I had 1 chicken breast for lunch, grapes for a snack, and 2 shakes.  I wasn't even hungry to have needed dinner!  I am excited now, about no more hunger pains!!!  This will still be a long 2 weeks.

10/15/2007I ate my usual which I am kind of tired of chicken breasts.  I am gonna try turkey soon.  I dont like fish at all, and I am trying to avoid beef because of the high fat content.  I may break down though, so I can have some varieety.  I don't really like veggies either but I am gonna try to force some broccolli down.  I am tryin to count down, so 4 down 10 more to go.

10/16/2007-  I didn't have to take the appetite suppressants today and I did not have any real cravings.  My co workers brought in donuts and cay and stuff for boss's day and I was not tempted!  Gotta do right for this pre-op diet.

Big FYI: I was on your page and got caught up reading this phase of your anger. I may be fat, but I wasn't always this way. I used to work out a lot and also weigh myself all the time. I do know this. Weighing yourself everyday is not good.

One, because from day to day, your weight can be very deceiving. Depending on what foods we are eating our body gets full of fluids. (Stay away from the cakes and sweets as much as you can. They are not your friends.) Our bodies are already about 80% fluids to begin with.

Two, if you are working out, your body is not always going to show the weigh lost/improvement/effort that you are investing.

strength training (weight lifting) is very good to do as you are loosing the weight cause it helps to keep your muscles healthy and as we all know healthy muscles = weight loss but not only that, as we get older, healthy muscles protect our bones and joints. So building muscle is very important. but realize this, that if you are building muscles the scale is going to fluctuate up and down give or take a pound or 2 because the muscle is stronger its weighing more. This is what I like to call the good weight. Just because your scale is a pound or 2 higher does not mean you are gaining fat! You are gaining muscle. This is what you will see if you weigh yourself all the time! And if you don’t understand this you will get discouraged. Give those stronger muscles time to help you burn more fat. (Usually about a week or 2.) Try to make an effort to only weigh yourself once a week. Pick a day out of the week and only weigh yourself on that day. Eat healthy and I promise you, you will see results.
