I cannot believe I am one week pre-surgery!!! Am I really doing this??? Amazing.

I had my pre-op appt with anesthesia today. I thought I was going to be weighed and I was actually somewhat disappointed since I have lost a good amount since the last time they had me on the scale. I am an oddball! It was a basic appt. I was disappointed to see that my BP was 153/73 that systolic is not what I would like to see. At least if it were in the 130's. But I was nervous, and he had my arm elevated above my heart which can play into it a little. They answered a lot of my questions, but now I am finding I have even more questions...how long is the procedure? Where will my DH wait and will he be allowed to see me soon after? Will I have a catheter? They are all pretty mundane questions but now I am getting so curious. But the bottom line is I have the green light and I am doing this next week.

 

I had a protein drink this morning,tried to have another for lunch but it was so terrible that I just threw it out (Slim Fast Low Carb tastes like a can of chemicals!). i just cooked a Lean Cuisine for lunch instead. Certainly not the most wholesome meal, but the calories are low. I wish I had a more stringent pre-op diet so I would know what to do, but I am basically doing this on my own. I think from Wednesday on I may do liquids for breakfast and lunch and a small meal at dinner. I want my liver in the best shape possible to decrease any chance of having a problem. I know plenty of people who don't lose any weight before surgery and I have lost about 17lbs so far so I should be okay. I think I am going to take some before pictures today too. Maybe even some in my underwear so I can really see the changes. So much to do!!!!

 

I weighed myself this morning and I am up a pound or 2 from my WW meeting last week. I have no idea why! I never eat all of my extra points, I workout at least 5 days a week for an hour at a time...I should not be gaining. I think my body is just fighting me since lost 6 pounds last week. I will go to the gym at some point today and I will drink plenty of fluids today in hopes that I am just retaining a little. It just seems pointless to have a gain when I know I didn't splurge. What are you gonna do? Ok, my hands are cold and tired of typing. I will write more later....

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
