6 pounds down!

Feb 12, 2011

So I woke up feeling pretty blah this morning and I decided to step on the scales.  OMG!  I've lost 6 pounds since Wednesday!  I guess this pre-op diet is working.  I feel bad because I've done nothing but bitch and complain about those protein shakes for a week now.  I've got to stop doing that.  I need to focus on the positive, not on the negative.  No, I don't like them, but it's a temporary situation.  Right?  Right. 

Last night, I just needed something with substance to eat.  So I had a half a chicken in the freezer.  I roasted it in the oven, planning to just eat some of the chicken breast with a glass of milk, instead of having the shake.  OMGosh.  I took one bite of that delicious chicken and I just  couldn't quit eating it.  Over the course of the evening, I ate the entire half a chicken!  Then I went to bed feeling guilty and miserable. 

But you know what?  I'm still in ketosis this morning, and I'm feeling much stronger today.  Nothing like a little weight loss to boost your motivation, huh?  So I will try again today to be compliant and to drink the shakes and to stick with this pre-op diet. 

Surgery coming soon!  Just nine more days.
