Nail-biting...

Nov 27, 2009

Surgery is now less than a week away.  Time dragged for so long and then Bam!  I'm knocking at the door. 

Met with the dietician again yesterday and my liquid diet started last night (she allowed for an early Thanksgiving dinner).  Yesterday was weird & at times it was hard.  But I got through it trying to keep the rules in mind.  I only ate if I was sitting at the table.  At one point I forgot & my sister-in-law quietly reminded me.  That was cool.  I wasn't even thinking about it.  For the dinner, I stuck with one serving of all the fav's... not two spoonfuls, and no seconds. 

At last DH is home (been out of town for quite a while) and he went to the pre-op class with me.  So he was helping me this morning trying to figure out how to start my liquid diet.  Sure is nice to help.  He was worried about eating in front of me at breakfast time, but I figured we might as well get used too it now.  His concern is appreciated, but I don't want this to change our "together-time".  Once I'm back to foods again, we'll pretty much be eating the same as he has decided to start eating healthier and working out as well.  Bless him - the rat can walk by a gym, look in the window, and drop 10 lbs!  And when he works out?  Geesh!  He'll be dropping pounds probably more then I will when my band starts kicking in.  But I am actually glad for him that it can work that way.  I don't wish the need for WLS on anyone.  But I am so incredibly greatful that it is an option now for those of us who need it.

Last night, I spoke with my oldest sister and told her what I'm up too.  She's the last part of the family that I hadn't yet told (well, there are some that I'm just not going to discuss it with as their negativity is too overwhelming).  Angie may have negativity, but it would be out of love and concern.
