Ok, well, first of all, this pre op thing.... I declare! I now realize that I've been going around here having food funerals. Don't know if I've gained weight, but I don't think I've lost any either! LOL  Although, at least 6 different people have told me that I look like I've lost weight! Hmmmm....well, IDK, maybe inches here and there. Either way, I'll take that compliment though!

So, my consent appt is Monday, and I DO NOT WANT TO MEET THE DOCTOR FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH A FREAKING WEIGHT GAIN! So, today, I put my plan in action. My only set back is that I did eat the school lunch today... BUT, I went to Curves, and then I WENT FOR A WALK! I walked a mile today! YAY!! It nearly took me out, but since I lived, I guess I'll do it again tomorrow and the next day and the next until that mile becomes 5 and the walking becomes a steady jog or run! And to top it off, I had a salad for dinner today!

After that, I went to Winn-Dixie and finally settled on SLIM FAST! They may not be the best, but they have 10 grams of protein and along with the chicken I plan to eat, I should do ok with my protein intake. Also, why purchase protein shakes now when my tastes will probably change after surgery. So for now, Slim Fast it is! I also bought some Atkins bars. So for lunch tomorrow, I will have a sandwich (wheat bread) and some baked Lays Chips and somewhere in the day, I'll have my Slim Fast and an Atkins bar. For dinner, I'll have some baked chicken with a side dish, probably ONE serving of corn (the only veggie I like) and then go for my evening walk!

I am now experiencing head hunger.  For instance, I've eaten today, and I know I'm not starving, but my mind is telling me that I could eat. But my frugality won't let me spend unnecessary money on cookies and snack foods. Yeah, I'm too cheap to snack!LOL But that's a good thing. And this water thing...... I'M TRYING! Matter of fact, I'm drinking a bottle of water right now, my 3rd today. Didn't quite get 64 oz in, but I'm working on that, too. I figure if I begin his week, maybe I'll lose at least 15lbs by the time my surgery comes around. Trying to get that liver to SHRINK! If I follow my plan, I can do this!

So, Amanda.... follow these rules:
1. NO CARBS!!
2. No school lunch--take a sandwich or Slim Fast
3. Curves
4. Walk EVERYDAY!
5. Chicken chicken chicken! (baked, saute, grill)
6. DRINK YOUR WATER!! (just finished bottle #3!!)

Let's see how this works!! Now I'm going to bed before I allow this head hunger to win!
