The Last Supper

Apr 02, 2011

Well, today is Saturday which means tomorrow is my last day of solid foods before I have to start my pre-surgery 2 week liquid diet. I am trying to look at the bright side because I do get 5 shakes a day and unlimited clear broth, SF jello and popsicles....I am sure I will be sick of all that after this month is over! 

I have lost 20 pounds since the last time I saw my surgeon on November 30th. I can't believe I was able to lose throughout the holidays...now I want to have just a taste of a few things before my life changes forever. Is that bad? I have come to terms with the fact that to be the healthy person I plan to become, I must change my life forever. Soooo I am admittedly having my "last supper" and then shutting the door on all things unhealthy...

I have an appointment on Tuesday for my pre-surgery class, consent forms/anesthesiologist consult, and pre-surgery testing EKG etc. I am one of the fortunate ones who's insurance did not make me jump through hoops. I had no pre-surgery diet requirement, no co-morbidities, only a high BMI, psych consult, and nutritionist consult. My surgeon wanted me to lose 15 lbs, I lost 20.

I am soooooooooo ready for this. I find myself planning the future as my new, thinner self...sometimes I get so excited I can hardly contain myself. We'll see how this story ends...
