Entering the World of the Pre-Op Diet...

Sep 04, 2012

So, as of yesterday, I officially have two weeks left before my RNY.  This means it's time to start my pre-op diet!  I was dreding it pretty badly, but honestly it's not that bad.  I'm on day two and I had a protein shake and a banana this morning and I feel completely full.  I need to work on getting my vitamins and water in though.  I'm slacking, but I will build up to it.  I am also cheating a little and having one cup of coffee a day.  I'm trying to be good by using fat free vanilla creamer and no sugar.  I figure one cup is better than my normal three (not to mention all of the soda I used to drink!).  

The night before I started my diet, I had a sort of "alcohol funeral".  My best friend took me out to our local watering hole and we talked all about my hopes and fears regarding my upcoming surgery.  We cut loose and had a few too many drinks, but I think it was a good thing.  (Well, other than the hangover on the first morning of my diet!  Oops!)  I needed one last  night out like that though.  He helped get me excited about everything too.  He told me that he was going to hate me when I'm all skinny and he's still fat.  lol  That may sound mean, but it came from a good place.  We have an interesting relationship.  He also warned me that if I "get all skinny and start whoring it up" that he would beat me.  ;)

Okay, so I am off to find some way of tracking my food/water/vitamin intake.  I'm horrible about ignoring reminders from all of the apps on my iPhone, so maybe I will go old school and make an excel sheet checklist to print off and hang on the fridge.   I'm also hoping to find time to measure myself today.  I think having these numbers to look back on will motivate me in the future.  

Hope all of you are having a great day!!
