I'm almost there!

Feb 22, 2009

Well, I've wanted to write so many times, but I've been so busy and I've been very emotional.  This pre-op diet is sooooooo hard - extra hard.  Went to the mall with a friend and we were there a long time - she had to eat.  She had tomato pie and it looked and smelled sooo good - I love tomato pie!  I was good and ate my protein meal replacement bar and had a diet soda.  It was hard to pass the Auntie Ann's Pretzels place and the ice cream place and the smell of the popcorn form the adjacent movie theater was calling my name! I resisted all!  Only through the power of God.

In the midst of these past weeks, I celebrated my 38th birthday on 2/18.  I was really a wreck that day.  I had my pre-operative testing that day at the hospital.  All went well and I saw my surgeon again too.  I told his physician's assistant how I was feeling and just broke down.   She asked me what I was eating/consuming and after I told her she said I wasn't eating enough!  Funny, huh?  Food deprivation makes you miserable!  I cannot wait until surgery day!  Then, even though I will still not be able to eat for a while, the hunger will go away.  

I have lost a little over 10 lbs so far and that is encouraging.  I can even feel a slight difference in my clothes and I feel a little lighter too.  But I feel like for as little as I've been eating, I should have lost 40 lbs!  haha!  All in due time.

I was finally able to add some pictures to my profile.  I want to chronicle this journey and plan to take pictures monthly - same place, same shots to really see the progression - or digression I should say.

For now that's it.
