So I went for another urinalysis cause the first one came back bad. Well it comes back that I have another UTI. I just got over one a few weeks ago. So I am postpones for a week to 2 weeks depending on the medication which I am still waiting for my PCP to call it in. This sucks, but I want to be as healthy as possible before surgery and it gives me a little more time to lose some weight. I will keep you updated on when my surgery will be, I am shooting for the 18th.

I went to see my nutritionist today to get weighed in. I have been seeing her every 2 weeks before surgery. Was happy today to find out I lost 4 lbs which I thought I had not lost any this week due to eatting more red meat then usual. I try not to eat more then a fist size portion, but my husband and I made poter house, roast beef, and sirlion for some family that came over yesturday. I ate more meat then peas this weekend. I have one more meeting with the nutritionist on the 4th before surgery, but I will be seeing her after surgery to make sure I am getting what I need.

I have been really good about cutting my sugars, carbs, and fats so by losing just 4 lbs I still feel I am doing good. I decided, although I don't have to, to go on a liquid diet after the holiday. Also this year for the holiday season we are doing sea food instead of turkey, potatos, and all that other stuff to help me losing even through the holiday. I am not a big dessert person, but I am looking up some sugar free desserts was also thinking of making a fruit salad.

I am trying but not pushing my hubby to make some changes in his eatting habits. My husband is very active. He is about 5'10" and 175lbs, but he has been having some colon problems and I think alot of it is his diet. So thats my new goal. I think he going to hate me this week when I go shopping for his food for work. Plus I have a feeling when he goes for his colonoscopy they are going to tell him the same thing I am.

One week until pre-admissions
21 days until surgery

So I am trying to slightly prepare for surgery. After reading another persons blog I decided it was time  to make an offical list of things to get

I have the babu spoons and dishes considering my kids are about out grown from them they can pass it on to me. I figure broth, splenda, cream of wheat, SF jello, a 64oz bottle, was thinking silk for dairy. My mom is suppose to take care of my shopping so really making the list for her. Any other suggestions cause I feel so unprepared for this as much as I thought I was.

I think this week I am going to try different protien powers to see what one appeals to me. Has anyone found one that hasnt made you gag??(I do easily)

I think my jitters are kicking in like I am going to do something wrong. So excited though, don't think I'm not! I just wish the 11th would hurry up

8 days til pre-addmissions, which I will feel better once that is over, cause thats really the last thing you need to get the surgery
22 days until surgery and my life will be back on track and I can get back to the old me with new beginnings

After looking at people's before and after pictures and seeing half the person they were, I wonder what I will look like when I am half the person. I have a picture from 6 years ago when I was about 175 and wonder if that will be me again. I also wonder what am I going to wear. Will I stick with the style I have now or change myself completely. I dont even know if I am going to beable to buy smaller clothes. I feel like I will have a hard time knowing my size. I dream everynight about what I will look like and what I will where, but it seems like it will always be a dream. Reality hasnt hit me yet that in less then a month I will working towards half the person!! Also I am talking to a friend right now about doing video blogs on youtube. Oh the 28th after my pre-admissions I may have one uploaded. I will keep you posted!!

So my kids find that me to be the most entertaining thing in the house. I am am jogging in place blowing up balloons to strengthen my lungs before surgery plus makes great exercise. So my kids find me funny and I feel rediculous. Thought I share that. I am trying to find more ways to do this, but this seems to be working. Thought I share this cause if you saw me, a silly 285lb woman in her living room with 2 toddlers laughing hystarically you would have some good entertainment!! LOL Cant wait for surgery.
