Day one of 2 week preop diet....and my head is spinning around a bit!
I packed my little bag last night for my protein shakes today. I ate WAY too much last night and had wine (I know, food funeral!) We had dinner at our house for my step daughter's b-day, so I cooked grilled steak and chicken, roasted veggies and baked potatoes. I had a small piece of the steak and chicken and some veggies...but then I had 3 pieces of Italian bread! On purpose, because I won't be having it now. I also had some wine. Oh, and DIL made chocolate chip cheesecake brownies...what! I'm not a sweet eater, but I had a half. I am really looking forward to the next two weeks....I want to start feel empty, not full! And I want to lose some weight before my surgery.
Well this morning, I had my decaf green tea with pomegranate, no coffee. I had cut back to 1 cup a day, so I'm not expecting too much of a withdrawal, but I am getting a touch of a headache! Better to detox now than after surgery!
I have a gnawing dread in the back of my mind though, because they just submitted to my insurance yesterday. I will be scared until I get that phone call that it was approved!
I am graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University with my Bachelor's Degree on May 21st (woo hoo!! finally!). I got a letter yesterday saying that because I was taking 3 classes this Spring, that I would have to wait until September to grad (2 classes ok, 3, no). Well, this is where my head started to spin! I shot off 2 emails this morning 1st thing, and actually got it straightened out. I am graduating on May 21st!
I am definitely going to the gym tonight...I need to burn off some stress :)

You are just getting started!! Sorry, but stuff is going to come at you from all directions now! YOU are doing this for YOU - the Devil, the Universe, Mother Earth, whatever you believe in DOES NOT LIKE IT!!! So prepare yourself!
It's like all of us go through - when GREAT things start happening - "it's" going to through spokes into the wheels to try to get you off balance! Murphy's law - if you like...
