May 5Th, 2010
Hey everyone.  I have made it through 5 days of my pre-surgical diet.  I have done really well, OK, the first 2 days I felt like dog-doo.  Man, the headache the end of the first day was killer.  It seems like pain makes me doubt myself about this decision.  I'll need to remember that for when I'm having buyers remorse after surgery.  I'm glad my surgeon lets us have some fruit pre-op.  Blackberries have become my yum food.  I'm actually getting a bit burned out on chocolate protein powder.  Down the road I'll have to investigate some new brands. I don't have a scale at home that's dependable but seem to be down a couple of pounds.  I have been really nervous about the whole surgery thing up until recently, now I'm just at peace with it. Not that 'those thoughts' don't creep in but I just don't give those thoughts any power.  I guess I was afraid of any future surgeries from strictures, or obstructions.  Frankly, if I don't loose weight surgeries are certainly in my future if I even would have a future.  I know this fight will not be fought with out a few battle scars but they will be marks of bravery and fight.  I didn't think I had any fight left in me but oh man, I'm starting to feel spunky again.  I'm going to be fierce minus 140 pounds!!!  I'll probably not look too bad either.(with clothes anyway!)   Well dear friends, thanks for being here!
Hugs, Liz
