6.5 lbs down on liquid preop diet!
Jan 01, 2011
I know it doesn't sound like much, but 6.5 lbs is a great start if you ask me. I started the liquid diet on Christmas Eve, but ate Christmas dinner with my family. Then I stayed on the plan for 3 days straight, then I ate 10 almonds. My stomach felt like I had put acid in it. Then I had a half of a chicken breast the next two days. Yesterday (New Years Day), I had a scrambled egg, and a piece of pizza. So I have not been faithful to the plan. The pizza is the one thing that I regret. It was a bad choice, but again shows me how I got to this place.My husband says I am still doing great, but somehow I don't think so. This time of year has been a hard time to start the liquid diet. I have not messed up at work! There have been donuts and cakes and cookies and ..., but I have resisted temptation. Normally I would be face first in all that stuff. I have not ea ten on sweet treat since Christmas! With all the temptation I am proud of myself. I didn't know if I could do it or not, but here I sit, and am proud of myself.
So, surgery is Friday and I have a million things I can think of to do right now. Getting the bills paid, taking the Christmas tree down, was hing cloths, packing for the hospital stay, grocery shopping for the family, ... all that Mama stuff, and working 2 more 12 hour hour shifts. My head is spinning and my heart is beating fast. But I am excited.
Almost everyone has been excited for me. They have said how great it will be to feel good and mentioned how good I will feel by the summer. I know they are right and I am looking forward to it.
My journey has begun!!!!
