Three weeks until surgery!

I'm looking forward to it, a little nervous though. I ate so much this weekend. This week I will be cutting way back on carbs to prepare myself for the pre surgical diet that starts next Monday. I refuse to have more binges (I"m not a diagnosed binge eater but I will eat a lot of food in one sitting). I will be using meditation and distraction to calm myself instead of food. Think good thoughts for me!

That's exciting. And yeah, the sooner you can kick carbs to the curb, the happier you'll be. Cold turkey really is the  best way. Just imagine it as transporting yourself to a higher plane of existence.

It will totally suck for a while. But it will be a lot better on the other side.

I had "last supper" syndrome pretty bad.  Instead of binging, my trainer suggested I treat myself to some nice home-cooked meals, so I could indulge in something healthy. My last meal before my pre-surgery diet was a nice piece of salmon on a bed of pureed celeriac (celery root).  

If I ever put pureed celery root in my mouth, it really would be my last meal. But I'm glad you liked it.

For real though, it's like celery-flavoured potatoes.  Took the edge off of wanting actual potatoes.

I've got a potato problem.  Once I start eating them, I can't stop.

You keep mentioning celery like it was chocolate. Celery would have been much better bait for the Road Runner than it is for me.

The sooner you start cutting back on carbs, the sooner you will feel better.  The first few days are brutal, but it's a great way to kick start your weight loss.

Sending positive thoughts your way
