Leaving on a Jet Plane

May 25, 2014

One more day! Oh god the excitement might do me in for good :) I have about 30 hours left to pack, get everything ready and wrap up my stuff here before I am gone for 2 weeks. My transformation is beginning so soon I can't even believe it. I know people say that all the time, to the point that it loses meaning, but I honestly cannot even begin to fathom what I will look like or how I will feel once I start losing weight. I have no basis for comparison really. I know in theory that I might look something like my mom did when she lost 70 pounds and was a wee tiny thing since we look so much alike, but I don't know. I have been fat my whole life and this is going to be such a shock to me. Even so, I cannot describe to you how badly I want to take my "After" picture. I'm so done being the "Before" picture that it's not even funny.

My pre-op diet is going very well. I am switching to straight liquids and protein shakes from now until my surgery day to help speed things along. I've lost 6 pounds so far on the low carb diet and I'm very impressed with myself. I guess I should start getting used to feeling proud of myself since I'm certain this is only the beginning.

My Unjury sample kit arrived and I have tried all the flavors except for chicken and vanilla. The strawberry sorbet, chocolate and unflavored are great. I put the strawberry sorbet into water flavored with lemonade Mio water drops and it was amazing. The unflavored is also great in powerade zero and crystal light flavored water. I used the chocolate packet in a coffee (made sure to test the temp first and it was under 140c) and it was fantastic. I ordered three tubs of the unflavored Unjury and one more of the chocolate and am having them mailed to my mom's house, where I will be recovering so they are there waiting for me when I get back. Muscle Milk chocolate is also a powder that I am really enjoying and tonight I tried the Six Star Pro Nutrition Instant Protein Smoothie in mixed berry flavor. I mixed it with milk and it was okay. It was chalky, which I am used to from drinking slim fast way back in the day and I enjoyed the taste surprisingly enough. It was inexpensive at Wal-Mart so I picked it up and though I probably won't buy another bag of it, I don't think I'll have too much trouble finishing off this bag. It's not very big.

All in all my spirits are very high!
