Well, I am 6 days away from the big day

Nov 07, 2009

I am only 6 days from the big day.  I am praying that all goes well!  My husband took the most absolutely horrifying pictures of my today.  I wanted to make sure that I had beginning photo's so I would remember where I started in this journey.  I was pretty mortified standing there looking like a big fat lard butt....I also re-weighed and instead of 205 my husband said...that is 210 baby.  I looked, actually stared at the scales thinking surely I am not that blind.  Sure enough it was 210...not the 205 I weighed 4 days ago (or so I thought).  I just wasn't reading the scales correctly.  Maybe I should ask for some nice digital scales for Christmas.  I was freaked out because Dr. Alvarez requires patients over 37 BMI to undergo the 7 day liquid pre-op diet.  Initially, I recorded a height of 5' 3" and 205 which is 36.2 BMI...no preop liquied diet.  I measured and remeasured my height and it came up 5' 3.75" twice and at 210 this is 36.3 so I think I am still okay without the liquied preop diet.  I am so close though I am worried that my liver will still be big and fatty....everything else is.  My husband was sweet enough to take all of my measurements for me....even though he did start laughing and ask which chin he should measure and then said we were out of tape measure for my waist!  HaHaHa....not very funny!  I also started trying to drink water all day today and I ate my Healthy Choice Pumpkin Squash Ravioli with tiny, tiny well chewed bites.  I thought I might as well start preparing for what I need to do from NOW ON!  I have started packing and am going to Wallyworld again tomorrow for a few more items and I think I will also buy a chicken, carrots, onion and celery and cook it up and then freeze the broth and chicken in separate containers so I have some nice homeade broth...yum yum.  I know I am making the right choice but I am still going to worry about grieving for the foods I won't ever have again....or hopefully it will just be the enormous amounts of food I won't have again.  I hope for no or little....pain, GERD, constipation or complications and that the weight loss and health regained will be everything I have dreamed of each time I have began a diet in the many years past!!!
