My count-down to the new me!

Hi my name is Nancy and I thought as I begin my transition to the new me I will start my own personal journel of my ups and downs. Mostly for my own personal help to get me through the rough times and remind myself why I started this jorney in the first place. I am starting day 3 of my liquid pre-op fast and I have 27 more days to go. So far it is not that bad and manageable but I'm not looking forward to the weekend. That is when our family does our errands and such and usually ends in dining out. So my first weekend will be a very big challenge. But I keep telling myself that if I screw this up than there is the very good possibility they could postpone my surgery or not be able to do it laparscopically and have to a big incision. Anways that is my goal to keep on the right track and keep saying to myself that the end result is so worth it, and I am so worth it.

Day 6 Liquid Diet

Well who would have thought that I would make it to day 6. I'm trying to master that head hunger thing you hear people talk about. It's hard to eat till you feel comfortable, I'm used to eating until i'm stuffed but this pre-op diet is helping with that. I never thought I would get so excited about drinking broth or having a salad for dinner. Here's to almost a week and counting.:frown:

Day 16 Liquid Diet

I have been on this cursed liquid diet now since July 22nd. I have probably cheat only 3 of the 16 days (since I am only human) and am now about 13 days away from my surgery. At this point I can't wait until the mushie stage since I will be able to at least have scrambled eggs and not drink all my meals. I'm keeping strong and looking toward the big picture and trying to prove to myself and the few people who know of my upcoming surgery that I can do this.

Day 10 Liquid Diet

I'm almost half way there and I thought this was going to be the hardest part of my journey. I was so excited today when I discovered the Vitamin Shoppe and all the new flavors of protein drinks they had. At least now I have variety. Just a few more days of being able to enjoy my dinner salads then only protein drinks for me until my surgery day. I'm proud of myself and even happier to see the scale drop a little. Can't wait to see what my end weight pre-surgery will be.

Countdown to new me

Day 4 of semi-liquid diet and I survived an eating out yesterday. Family went out to Cracker Barrel and I ordered my salad but cheated and added some chicken to it. But much better than it could of been. Still hanging on but finding it hard to add exercise to regime, I hate excercising and really need to find something that I enjoy a little at least. Tomorrow is Saturday and very nervous to see if I will survive my first week-end. Fingers crossed.
