Getting ready to start my pre-op diet, YAHOOEY!
Oct 31, 2013
So next week, 11/6 I start my pre-op diet with the nutritionist before surgery on 11/25. I purchased some Unjury Chocolate Splendor, which is pretty tasty. I also purchase Total Lean protein shakes from GNC and they are pretty tasty as well.
I went ahead and started today drinking the protein drinks to get a jump start; who is excited for surgery, LOL, that would be me!!!
Gosh I didn't realize how many people at work have had weight loss surgery (pretty big company)....it is great as I have ton of cheerleaders that I can go to in time of need. Its so much fun to be the next in line for surgery.
I'm feeling really good, no nerves about any of it...I pray that the Lord's hands guide the surgeon's hands the day of surgery so I will have little complications or none at all, however, I am mentally prepared that I may have some but I will have no other choice but to get through it.
I still chuckle when I think back telling the first Dr. I visited that I didn't want to be skinny, LOL, his face was priceless. I went on further to explain. I don't want to be a stick looking person, I like padding on me...the womanly shape is beautiful. I want to be healthy for sure to get off meds and I want to get to the weight for my height, so I figure 130-135 will be perfect for me.
I'm Puerto Rican and want that hour glass shape that I know is under this fat and want to make sure I still have some padding on the backside...so I've started doing squats. Not trying to be Kim Kardashian by any means...more Jennifer Lopez, LOL. OOOH my hubby is going to be in for a treat, LOL!!!
So this is all for now. Will post more as I get closer to surgery!!
