Setbacks and Sidelines

Jan 18, 2010

I have to reschedule my surgery.  My husband has been called to active duty to help with recovery efforts in Haiti.  I can't have this surgery and not have him here. 

I've lost more than 12 pounds in two weeks of experimental post-surgery dieting.  The prospect of delaying for up to 6 months has really bummed me out.   In the past two days I have had two boxes of girls scout and 2 bags of cinnamon heart candy.

Not passing this test well, am I?

To get back on track I am going to read Mindless Eating recomended by the psych Doc.

I will meet with the nutritionist too.  Maybe work up a real nutrition plan made of post op foods to practice.  

I just wanted to get moving on this.  Now I have to deal with deployment stress, teenagers, and college graduation by myself.  I had the luxury of being very self focused about preparing for the surgery.  Life reminded me it isn't my mission to be for myself.
