Two Weeks till Surgery

Oct 03, 2012

I had a very good day today. Tomorrow is officially two weeks from surgery!! :) I started the liquid diet on Sunday. At first it was not difficult, but when picking my son up tonight from my grandparents house, my grandmother handed me a hamburger steak and baked potato to bring home to my husband. My stomach began growling. Was I really so hungry? I had not realized it before that moment. I had tried drinking two shakes throughout the day but only managed to get down half of them. I took a bite of the hamburger steak. I can't believe I had managed so long without food and that temptation just threw me off big time. I will have a talk with my grandmother sending food home with me while I am not supposed to be eating. Luckily, I did not want the potato. I did heat up some soup tonight and strained it. It is not so bad. I do not actually have to start my liquid diet until tomorrow, so I thought maybe one bite would not hurt. I guess I will see. So anyways, I did go and see my surgeon today and I am down to 280. My scales at home say 275, but I know doc's scales are right. I will have to buy some more before surgery just so I will know my accurate weight and not be so discouraged when I weigh heavier. On a positive note on his scales I have lost 8 pounds. On my last appointment he asked me to lose 15 pounds...so I have 7 pounds to lose in two weeks. Does not seem so bad. I am hoping it will just melt off. Tonight I went to group session. It was very beneficial for me to hear everyone's story. Each person was at a different point of their weight loss journey. There was only one person who will be having their surgery on the 11th of this month. Everyone gave me their addresses and numbers. It is great to know there are so many other people like me who struggle with weight. Really hope I get through the next two weeks without complications!!
