Thanksgiving Day (family win/weight loss fail)

Nov 22, 2012

     Well Happy Thanksgiving if anyone reads this. I am most thankful for my loony family! I love sitting around the table making fun of my 70 year old Aunt for sucking down a case of Coors and only fumbling her words. We banter and crack jokes over a giant turkey and all the fixings that over flow the table. I love that I passed the torch of the serious pre Thanksgiving day hangover shakes to my 22 year old sister who slept on the couch until food was on the table.  It was a great day indeed. However, I may have over ate my last food horah and I am a little mad at myself for going off the deep end with the sweets. Again sugary shit is my trigger. Noted for future reference when craving.

     I am still about 5 weeks  away from surgery. I have been trying to kick a few bad habits, but I still have some work ahead of me! I am losing a little with just tracking and watching what I eat. By December 1st, I will be a little more strict and start eating protein first, veg, then carb as if I were post op. I also am going to try to plan out my meal times as best I can with the nutty schedule that I have as well as slowing down my meals and not drinking with them. Shit is difficult! More power to any of you who do it with out a conscious thought.

     My pre-op diet will be started on December 19th which will consist of 6 rtd shakes a day plus clear liquids while not going too much over 1000 calories. The shakes are a little different than what type of protein I can have after surgery so trying samples during that time will not be helpful. The ones I can have are slimfast, myoplex, special k, muscle milk lite etc. Most are a bit high in carb and way high in suger for post op. 6 doesnt sound too bad. I know I will get through because I want it bad enough. I figure if I can quit smoking after 15 years with no problems for this change, I can focus on discipline for 2 weeks......hopefully kiss

     I am getting a bit antsy, as it is still too far away. I am also working practically everyday up until the day before surgery. I want to keep my mind on something else other than all of my family and friends enjoying themselves with tons of food and booze while I will be feasting on an awesome shake.

     In other news, I have had my psych eval which seemed to go well. I really talked my ass off. She was very thoughtful and seemed interested. I will see her again. my major issue as we discussed is time management.  I decided to right down different meal, sleep, work, and school time scenarios. Eh it might work. Or... it will be worked on!
      That's all for now, nothing too exciting.

READY TO GET STARTED!!!!!
