Midpoint

Jan 03, 2013

Optifast Day 15.  

Ice is a miracle.   After i started blending my optifast with crushed ice, I've had no more issues with trying to get through a meal.  in fact, I'm actually starting to like it?   Weird.   I got sick of the poor performance of a magic bullet and my hand blender, and went out and got a great Kitchen-aid 5 speed blender. What a beast!   It's far better at crushing ice and helps make make a large batch of optifast for the day if I'm going to be out and about.    Note:  Smelled bacon the other day.  Almost went mad.  Lived through it.   

So here I am, crossing the midpoint and I'm honestly feeling great.  One thing I noticed is that the weight isn't coming off as fast as others people have noted here, and I don't know why.  Regardless,  I'm happy with the steady loss heading into surgery.  I'm also now completely off my diabetic drugs. Woo!  I've been hovering around 5.5 mmol/L for the past week, and the optifast instructions say if things stay below 6, constantly, stop talking them.   Just when I refilled them all too :

Surgery.  

My pre-admission appointment was today, and everything is a go.   It was great to finally talk to an anesthesiologist.   As I've mentioned before, surgery used to terrify me.  A year later, after some counseling and willpower to see things through, those fears are not as strong as they once were.  It almost seem unreal, after almost 2 years of waiting for this day, to have it just around the corner.   Gonna be the longest 2 weeks ever.
