Call from the hospital!

Everything seems so real now! I got a call this morning from the anastesiologist (I know thats spelled wrong), and she was asking all of these health questions and telling me what to do to prepare for Monday! Wow I am still in shock that its finally here. My report time is 9am and my surgery is around 10:10am!! I am so nervous! I was looking at different fast food places while me and hubby were driving home the other night, and I got kinda sad! No more Taco Bell, or Wendys, or Burger King!   But I keep reminding myself that in the end it will all be worth it! Fast food is my drug! Time for an addiction transfer! We will see what that will be for me!

Do you have an addiction transfer? What is it?

I had my surgery March 15th.. and I do understand that sadness over not being able to eat certain foods.. but in all honesty I have no desire anymore for food... i took my kids to McDonalds yesterday and just didnt even care  I actually just got a snack wrap and ate the chicken.. I think this surgery in a way has changed my mind as well.. which is amazing.. I love that I don't care about food.. I love that my life is no longer controlled by what i will eat next... I have started to clean more.. walk more.. play with my kids more.. those are the things that will take the place of food.. I haven't even lost a whole lot yet but things are already better.. Yesterday at McDonalds.. my daughter was missing her fries.. I went up to get it for her.. she said to me Mommy.. at least u are walking more.. before u would have had me go get it... I loved that.... U WILL BE OK WITHOUT FOOD!!!  =0)  It will become a chore to eat..lol  I have to plan it out lol I LOVE IT!  I am so happy for you that your journey will begin Monday.. Monday you will be out of it.. Tuesday morning will be kinda rough ( I was questioning why I did this!!)... but by Wednesday.. you will feel good again.. I wish u luck and if you need to talk to anyone.. U can talk to me.. they journey is new to me as well.. but I am sooo Thankful it has begun!  =0)

oh please you will eat fast food again... just differently..


Wendy's a small chili.....
Taco bell... refried beans
Burger king...  well... haven't been there yet...but Chik-fila is a new fav of mine...


My transfer addiction is YOGA   and shopping for yoga clothes...

 At Burger King you can order a Whopper Jr. without the bun.  They put the meat and veggies in the little carryout box and you can eat it with a fork like a salad.

Congratulations!!!!! You will do great! I am 3 months out and had Arby's yesterday!  They made me up a beacon burger and side salad without the bun and it was good.  Wendy's chili has been my go to on the road. The point is, you will have the tool to make better choices and stick with the goal!  Take your time getting through the phases and you eill do great!  Good luck.

Wendys chili w/ cheese.. thats my new favorite.

MEEEE Tooooo!
