Blogs can be discouraging.
Feb 19, 2013
I am really starting to get scared to have this surgery. Reading all these different blogs and I see nothing but negativity...This is very discouraging.
I read the blogs because I want insight as to what I should expect, but Lord Jesus, if it's going to be this painful and sad, I don't want it. I thought that this journey should be more exciting more, inspiring as far as getting the weight off and being healthy.
This is day 10 of my liquid diet...There were a few days that I wanted to quit but I know this is part of the process. Is that complaining? Well I am going to keep pressing because I am on a mission to a more healthier me. Whatever it takes, I will do. I will follow my surgeons instructions so that I can have a good, fast recovery time and start to workout.
Day 8....7 days until surgery
Feb 17, 2013
This is day 8 of my liquid diet and I am so not feeling this, but I do realize and understand that I have to do this for my own benefit and to have a successful and easy surgery. Although I am feeling nauseated, and cotton mouth, I will get past this. yesterday I had a migraine and ate a piece of lunch meat. I hate to sound negative on my blog because all I see are negative post on here but I want to track my progress to see my changes.
Yesterday at church my pastor taught about "YOUR MIRACLE IS ARE IN YOUR MOUTH" What stuck out the most the most is What comes out of my mouth is what will be manifested, so I will make a conscious effort to speak life into myself and not death. Words are so very powerful...with that being said
I decree and declare beginning right now, I will be healthy, I will have a successful surgery, I will not be hungry, I am released from struggled, turmoil, debts, sickness, unhealthy relationships. I am blessed and highly favored.
Day 3 of my liquid diet
Feb 12, 2013
So this is day 3 of my liquid diet and what I have figured out so far is I'm mostly hungry at work. When I am home I am always busy so there is often no time for me to eat. Well wait...I'm to lazy to cook... but I know after the surgery I will have to correct these horrible eating habits.
I am beginning to question a lot of things as far as the surgery goes. Like, do I really NEED the surgery? I started at 275 and I"m down to 267...That's with cutting out red meat, and pop... I haven't exercised lately. I get so lazy. Then I wonder if my blood pressure will go down and stay down. I wonder how small am I really going to get? I worry about people saying negative things about me like, Wow you lost too much weight or your head looks big now...I worry about the excess skin that might hang.
I guess these are thoughts and concerns are quiet normal
The Journey Begins
Feb 10, 2013
So today starts my journey to my weight loss. I don't have any goals set because I just want things to happen naturally. I don't want to set myself up for failure, so however much I lose, so be it.
I start my liquid diet today and I am most nervous about being hungry and cheating. I guess if I keep busy then I will be okay. So what I have planned is that when ever I do feel hungry that's when I'll drink the warm broth and follow it up with water while at work. At home I can just drink Crystal light and I'll be good. I have gelatin and I planned to buy some popsicles this evening.
I am determined to do this the right way, and I am excited about my future, my new look and my health.
