3 Weeks!
Dec 30, 2009
I have three weeks until my surgery! I went for my physical so that the family doctor could clear me for the surgery but I have to have the physical within 30 days of the surgery and it was 32 days from the surgery! Errr, Oh well! He was really great and rescheduled my appointment the day before my pre-op appointment, and he didn't charge me for the visit!
OK over the holidays I was enjoying the company and eating what I normally would eat in a meal. I would snack on cookies, fudge, or anything else that sounded good. I was not on my diet yet and I just wanted to enjoy the holidays. So my husband told me that I was eating a bit more! At first I got really offended but I sat down and looked at everything that I was eating and it was not anything different from my family or him were eating (maybe a little bit more). Then I finally realized that he was looking at what I was eating for the first time ever! I never realized how much I ate until I started this WL journey. At the same time it made me realize that I am eating a lot of junk, and I am going to change that before the surgery. I have been looking at the packages that I buy right now, and see what the protein, calories, and carbs are. It is crazy how much I am taking into my body.
I am getting so excited, the holidays are pretty much over and I am ready to start this new life! I am starting my high protein diet on Monday instead of Wednesday next week. So I can get my mind set. I have joined Runner World so I can start getting an idea on how to start to work up to this 5K in July. Well I am going for now but I will write back and let you know how the appointments went, and how the diet is going! :)

Dates to Remember!
Dec 14, 2009
Well I have my surgery date, January 20th. I have to see my family doctor this Friday to be cleared for the surgery. Then January 8th I have my pre-op appointment with the doctor. The hospital is going to call my January 7th to get my geographics done for the surgery. Then if that is not enough to remember I have to start my high protein diet on January 6th, two weeks before the surgery date! Fewwww!
I am so excited though! I can't wait to start the new life afterwards with my kids, and husband. My husband has been such a support system for me and I love him so much for it. He didn't realize how much I did until we are trying to organize everything during the surgery, and while I am at home. It is going to take my mom, my sister, and him to manage everything that I do in this house. But he is there for me and is ready for anything that comes up.

I have a date
Dec 01, 2009
I finally got a date for my surgery! January 20th! I can not wait! With the holidays coming up, I am hoping that they will go by really fast!
My doctor has recommended a high protein diet before the surgery for two weeks. So if anyone has any good recipes that I could use that would be greatly appreciated! I have to have a protein shake once a day then protein the rest of the day. He says it help shrink the liver before the surgery.
Well any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!
