8 days!

Jun 27, 2010

Only 8 days until my surgery. Time has been going by much faster than I anticipated it would. I've had family in from Pennsylvania, so the eating has been out of control. I've gained 4 pounds in the last week, so I'm up to 252 this morning. I decided to start a liquid diet this week in an attempt to lose weight before my surgery. I think I'm going to do a liquid breakfast and lunch and then a healthy dinner (if my daughter is home). If she's not home, I'll try to do a third meal of liquids.

I also went off caffeine this morning. Hopefully I won't have too bad of a caffeine headache from this decision. I know I need to be off of it by my surgery date, so I guess it's better to have the withdrawal from caffeine now instead of after surgery.

I'm emotionally ready to have the surgery now. Between family support, the forums on this site, and my local support group, I know this is the right decision for me at this time. I am looking forward to a slimmer me. I can't wait to see how my life changes when my body is able to do all the things my mind wishes it could have been doing.

Until then .....
