Pre-Op Diet Starts Today

The Journey Starts Today!   A few days ago I finished my pre-op tests and everything is finally in order! Today I started the liquid diet to get my obese liver in shape for the big day. I find myself constantly thinking about the impending surgery every day and hour. Am I making the right choice? Should I just try traditional weight loss one more time? Am I going to regret this decision? I've been thinking it over since last October and I think the pros out-way the cons so I am ready. I weighed in this morning and of course the battery on my scale is on the fritz. Go figure. Anyway, I got one more reading out of it and I weigh 291. Not proud of that number but at least it's not the 313 I was about 18 months ago so I have that to be proud of. Anyway, that's about it for now. We'll see how things go over the weekend. I'll check in on Super Bowl Sunday with how things are going. Go Seattle!

WLS yesterday! Wow I felt like crap yesterday. Today is much better though and I'm glad I took another day off from work. I had really good run up to surgery with pre-op weight loss of 16 pounds. So far I'm just sipping clear liquids and all is good. I'm sure things change once the swelling subsides. Can't wait to get back to my workout routine.

Made it Through the Super Bowl!

Man that Superbowl was a blowout! And so has my first three days of pre-op liquid diet been. I jumped on the scale this morning and it read 285.0 which is 6 #'s less than where I started on Jan 31st. I'm very pleased. I managed to get some good exercise over the weekend shoveling snow and chopping wood for the fireplace. Tonight I hope to get to the gym for a cardio workout. This all sounds really good and it is. But, I must say there are times when the cravings are really strong. So far my will power is in check and each day I gain the confidence I can keep this rolling to the surgery date. I'll check back in on Wednesday. Until then, good luck to everyone in the same boat!
