here it comes!
Feb 05, 2011
here it comes, surgery is 5 days away! i'm so happy! i feel like i am going to really have a new life! it's really exciting to know that in 1 month, i will be lighter than i have been in 4 years, and in 2 months probably, i will be lighter than i was in 10 years (assuming it takes 2 months to lose 40 pounds). i've already lost 26 pounds, and although i am greatful that i have lost this much, i'm a little annoyed that my friend gave me the wrong information on how to use the optifast. she told me to use fruit and milk in the shake for the 2 weeks prior to surgery (she said that's what the dr told her). so i was planning on doing it for 3 weeks to get the maximum weight loss prior. i was wondering why if i was pretty much following that, why i wasn't losing more! it seemed like i should have lost more weight from that amount of food! 3 shakes, 1 egg and 1 piece of string cheese. lots of water. i talked to my friend dan, who had the same surgeon she did, and he said NO FRUIT!so in the last 4 days, i have lost 6 pounds. i am feeling a lot better. i was wondering! now i wonder what i would have lost if i had done it right from the beginning! hmmm. . . oh well, it is what it is.
i am ready - i just have to go pick up the milk of magnesia. i'm a little worried about that. i'm supposed to take the m.o.m. on wednesday - we will be traveling by car to burbank - 1 1/2 hours, and then a train to san diego for another 3 1/2 hours, when exactly am i supposed to take it? what if i have to go on the train?!? scary!
i have my list . . . list of things to bring.
pajama pants that are loose
t-shirts
slippers
ankle socks
sneakers
burt's bee's for my lips
c-pap
deodorant
toothbrush and paste
and just in case they keep me in the area longer than i want . . .
liquid pain killer
prilosec
gas - x strips
protein shots just in case (we won't have our car)
and i have to go today to amtrak to pick up our tickets to san diego. that should cover everything!
i'm going to the gym everyday, trying to do as much exercise as possible before surgery.
i'm so excited, wednesday (the day we leave) can't come soon enough.
