I am officially 15 weeks post-op and 92 lbs lighter!  This averages out to about 6 lbs a week which I feel is pretty good.  Now that I have close to 100 lbs off I am able to get out and start moving more.  I have started walking on the Treadmill more as well as if it is really nice outside I will go out and walk outside.  But with the weather getting crappy I am basically stuck with the treadmill.  I just got myself a gym membership which includes both access to the fitness center as well as the pool so I plan on getting some use out of that this winter, and then after holiday shopping season is over I plan on walking at the mall until it warms up outside.  I just do not want to deal with the mall traffic at this time of year.  Thankfully I have christmas completely taken care of and am able of avoid the mall!

Will post again soon, hopefully.  I think my goal for posting will be approximatly every 5 weeks from this point on.  I have not been good about keeping up with the posts due to school and other commitments but hopeful that can change now that things are winding down.

Even though I am hungry, I decided to fight that hunger today and decided to walk on the tredmill for 5 minutes whenever I feel hunger digging at me. By the time my walk is over I do not find myself hungry, but rather thirsty, so I get myself a nice big glass of ice water and sip on it while I am reading or surfing the internet.

This is the last day of my veggies on the liquid diet so I am prepared to go on all liquids tomorrow and then all clear non red liquids on Monday.  I am getting more nervous and excited as the days go by. 

On another note, I was not planning on getting on the scale until Tuesday before I leave for surgery, but I could not resist getting on there to see how I am doing.  So far I have lost 8.4 lbs and I still have 2 and a half days left on the pre diet.

 Days 1-3 were not bad for me on the pre-op diet but now that i am finishing up day 4 I am starving.

I broke down and cried earlier when I was drinking a protein shake at dinner and my family were having steak and perogies.  I ended up having to leave the room to finish my shake because I was so close to going and getting some of their dinner for myself.  I am proud of myself though I managed to make it through that hurdle and now I only have 3 more days before I go in for surgery.

I just have to keep reminding myself of the big goal here and the reasons that I am doing this.

 I was unable to get around to posting yesterday on my first day, but finally found time to do so today.

I am on the second day of my pre-op liquid diet, it has not been that bad. I think one of the reason why is I am allowed raw veggies a couple of times a day until 2 days before surgery. 

I get a couple of protien drinks in, and then at meal times i have a plate of veggies, and throughout the day i drink water and have a jello or a popscile to get more flavor.

I think this week up through Saturday will be pretty good, Sunday and Monday are going to be the hardest for me, because my veggies cut out Sunday, then monday it is all liquid but there can be no red liquid, so that means most of what i have been enjoying, sugar free jello (black cherry) and cherry sugar free popsicles will have to change to nonred varieties, along with my protien shake will have to change from the nectar crystal sky to either the lemon tea or choclate.

But I can get through it, It is to lead to a new healthier and better me!
