Getting excited!!!
Dec 19, 2014
Well, I start my two week liquid diet on Monday. The first week consists daily of four shakes, one "normal" food (oatmeal, yogurt, SF pudding, etc....), three 15 calorie items such as broth and SF popscicles, and all the water/flavored water I want. Christmas dinner will be a (sorta) egg nog flavored shake and a cup of broth. :-)
Second week is going to be a bit harder. The doc wants me to drink this stuff called Impact. It has stuff in it which helps get the body ready for surgery. It cost me 43 plus shipping. I get to drink two of these plus one protein shake a day. I can do it, I can do it......
My weight loss has been hovering between 80 and 85 pounds. I think it will get a kick in the pants next week! Speaking of pants....I am running out of things to wear. Most of my pants are (almost) falling off me, which is a good feeling. I went to see my family doc on Wednesday and she was very impressed with my weightloss. She made the comment that I don't need to have the surgery now. I told her it is my stop gap, because I would just revert back to my old habbits of eating if I didn't get the surgery. Needless to say, she cleared me for the surgery.
Now, I need to start getting things packed, so I won't forget anything because I know I will, still.
