The Great Debate

Oct 06, 2014

Well here I am. In the short roads in preparation for a complete and total life change. In just 3 very short days, I begin what forever will change my life. I start the Loser's Bench Boot Camp (Pre-op diet) this Thursday. I have gathered from what the vets say, it is pre op that changes everything, not the surgery itself. Gone forever will be drinking my calories, eating a great deal of carbs such as a nice pot of spaghetti, and those good ole breakfast biscuits.

I have spent the last 2-3 months mentally and physically preparing for this moment. I have mostly sampled protein shakes, and at least replaced 1 meal a day with slim fast. I began to focus on getting at least 64oz of water in daily, and slowing down on soda/sweet tea intake. I also had the wife to work on getting the carbs out of the house either by fixing it, or giving away. I have had a few "food funerals" along the way, but overall I was really ready to go.

Now that I am right there at that moment. Put up or shut up, no turning back once I begin. But here I am debating on how I should spend these last 3 days. The sensible side of me says drink your slim fast and water, then have a sensible dinner tonite. The other side of me is thinking of what I will miss and how to obtain it now. A nice plate of sketti, or a pot of some good ole collard greens sound super nice to me at this point. I know I am not alone in this debate.
