On my way!

Nov 04, 2010

First of all, I am completely off caffeine now!  This was not easy, but I did it and I'm very proud of myself.  I also have a second sleep study tomorrow night to try a CPAP.  I'm very nervous about it, I am actually scared of having something attached to my face.  I hate wearing glasses and I just don't see this happening.  I know it's a silly thing to be so apprehensive about, I should be more worried about surgery, but I'm not.  I'm worried about the stupid CPAP.

I saw my surgeon last week.  They put me on the fast track because I have little insurance requirements and no major health issues.  You can read more about the visit on my blog at theamazingdisappearingme.blogspot.com  I am looking at a surgery date of around the first week of January.  I can't wait to be sleeved!  I am now on a liquid protein diet and it's gong well.  I am allowed 1000 calories a day of two protein shakes plus a meal consisting of a lean protein and salad or vegetable.  I've found a lot of great recipes online and have experimented with my own.  I've discovered that I love mixing them with coffee or a sugar free pudding mix.  Today I tried vanilla protein powder with a spoonful of Jello sugar free Cheescake pudding mix and it was really good.  I also went to Wal-mart and bought a GE Single Serve Blender, which will be my new best friend.

Today I came in at under 700 calories after dinner and was thinking about how I could boost them.  I did something awful.  I ate a Hostess Cupcake.  So, this is a note to myself next time I want one that I feel absolutely horrible.  Not only with guilt and shame, but my stomach is churning a bit.  I think I'm getting used to having no sugar in my system and this is making me feel very yucky!
