Three More Days

I'm nervous now, and excited! Only three more days to go. I'm so much looking forward to Thursday I can't even tell you. All bacause I get to have a clear liquid diet for the day! This means broth and sugar free mellow and sugar free POPCYCLES om my!

One thing I wanted to say:

Some folks think that weight loss surgery is the easy way out. That it's for lazy people, that don't want to work for it. Well, I can tell you this already and I haven't even touched on the real hard stuff yet. It is NOT easy.

So don't judge, just sayin......

Day 5 PreOp

Wow what a difference a day makes! I have felt fabulous all day today. No more nausea or anything. Still hungry of course but I don't know how to have 7-900 calories of liquid a day and not be hungry. Nine more days to D-day and I'm still so excited.

I had a funny dream last night. I was clothes shopping in one of those fancy stores where the sales lady stands by the dressing room to get you things. I was trying on this super cute outfit and sneaking chips at the same time LOL. The pants were a great deal, $300 pants for $28. I was really excited when I woke up and had to tell Ken about the great deal I found :-)

Day 2-Pre surgery

Whew massive headache today but it was expected. Getting into Ketosis takes some work. I can only take acetaminophen now for the rest of my life, no more ibuprofine :-( this makes me sad because I've never found tylonal to work that well. It's not knocking this headache out at all.

Other than the headache its going well so far. I got all my water in yesterday and had two shakes with fruiet. One pineapple and one blueberry. I have to limit those though because it is extra calories and I can only have 900 right now. And 50 carbs.

Onward and downward!

Day 1 Pre Surgery

Day 1 pre-surgery
Surgery date - 1/24/14

Today is an important day. It is the first day of the rest of my life. Today, I start a new journey with the goal to live longer, live healthier, and be happier.

I am dedicated to this. I am going to learn to look at food, and look at eating in a whole new light. Food was created by God as a way to sustain us, not entertain us. I refuse to allow food to rule my life for one more minute. I will not eat to make me happy or busy or entertained, I will eat to sustain my body and give me strength to endure.

This is my pledge to myself. I know I will have to come back and read this many many time. I am only human and I will make mistakes. I will fail, but, I can learn from my failures and start again.

I am having gastric bypass surgery on January 24, 2014. With Gods help I will loose my goal weight loss of 150 pounds. Please put me on your prayer lists, in your prayer chains, in your hearts and your minds and help me in my journey to succeed. I thank you and love you for this. :-)

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!
