Pre-op Diet

Aug 31, 2014

So today (9/1/2014) marks the first day of my pre-op diet. You know the lovely diet where we are allotted 2-3 protein shakes and a salad with protein and lite dressing. Yummy! It's actually rather bitter sweet because I spent the day (8/31/2014) saying good bye to a lot of my favorite foods. I laid them all to rest with a food funeral and hopefully I won't think about them again anytime soon. I know the first year is the most important year when it comes to weight loss and lifestyle changes with my new tool and I want nothing but the very best out of my journey. I still can't believe that this is actually happening and that I will soon be on the losers bench. My surgery date is 9/18 which just also happens to be my bday. I mean I noticed that many say that their surgiversary is their new bday anyway because it gives us a new lease on life. 

  There are no words that can explain or describe the way I feel about embarking on this new journey. I am constantly researching the procedure, learning new techniques to get the most out of my tool, watching videos, reading testimonials, daydreaming about my success and the clothes I will buy and how much healthier I will be. I know that these 18 days will be a challenge but that's a small price to pay for the end results that I will receive.
