My foot surgery is at 6am this Thursday. Wish me Luck!!!

You are in my thoughts hugs, Britt POST when you are back let us know how you are!

I did several things differently last week that I feel contributed to my success. The previous week I was on vacation and did not deny myself food. I ate what I wanted within reason and of course within the constraints of my pouch size. Monday, upon returning, I kicked myself into gear with a liquid diet of only water and protein shakes all day. I drank over a gallon of water every day and ate strictly protein with no carbs for the remainder of the week. Also, I went to the gym 6 days and walked at lunch about half an hour each day. I guess the combination of everything REALLY worked! Of course I am trying it again this week to see if it is possible to repeat the success. I go for my 6 month check up tomorrow, so we will see what the surgeon says. I know all of my labs were good. Wish me luck. Valorie

Valorie, I agree with your approach - I aggree why deny yourself on vacation. Enjoy "with in limits" and then get back on track - It sure worked for you!!! I can't wait to hear what happens thgis week for you THANKS for sharing hugs, Britt
