4 day countdown

Oct 08, 2009

Well, my surgery is coming up on Monday, October 12th and I am starting to get nervous.  I lost all the weight my surgeon wanted me to but have had a hard time keeping it off while waiting for surgery.  I lost 30 lbs then put 17 of it back on, then lost that 17 again and now I've gained 8 or 9 lbs back.  No fun.  My surgeon doesn't require any sort of presurgery diet as long as you are below the goal he set for you.  It's the last week before surgery and I find myself wanting to eat all of the foods that I won't be able to eat after surgery.  It's weird.   I guess I am like any other addict who wants to drink or use as much as they can when they know they are about to go to rehab.  I consider myself to be a sharp guy but I just lose it when it comes to eating.  Hopefully I will force myself to hit a liquid diet by this afternoon and stay on it until my surgery so I can be back down to my pre-surgery goal weight.
