4 More Days ... Whooo Hooo!

I have 4 more days to go.

 

I went out to dinner with some friends tonight and I walked into an intervention. They don't want me to have surgery!!!! I was floored because these friends are as overweight or more than I am. I thought that they would be more encouraging because they KNOW how it feels to be overweight. I am sooooooooo amazed that my "skinny" friends are more encouraging. These are friends that I see rarely, so it is not a huge deal. But I ONLY told them because they are overweight like me and I thought THEY would understand and be supportive. I am very disappointed, but I am moving forward with my plans to have surgery on 1/11/2012 @ 7am ... REGARDLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My daughter isn't gun-ho about it either, but she admits to being selfish because she knows that I'm going to be cooking differently and for a while I am not cooking at all. I've frozen meals for her, but she doesn't usually like left overs ... but I am sure she will get over it.

 

Yesterday I had my pre-op appt. it was great ... I guess. I was given a lot of information. I was feeling a little overwhelmed. But I am excited about the end results of the surgery, but I am not looking forward to the impending pain. I didn't lose the 6 pounds I gained, but I did lose 4 pounds ... whooo hooo!!! I have learned that low carbs can assist with weight loss!

 

My fav low carb meal is veggie spicy sausage mixed with spinach, 1/2 oz of cream cheese and spicy Mrs. Dash ... it is soooooo yummy. When I want an extra protein boost I scramble in an egg. I know that after the surgery spicy foods will not be allowed for a while, but until then ... Yaaaay spicy!!!!

 

Now I need to pack my overnight bag for the hospital and for my stay at my mom's after surgery. I would like to thank EVERYone that contributed to the list of things that are needed after surgery

 

Good Night!!!!

Hi, one thing I know for sure people hate change. Just remember your real friends will stick by you. I went to a support group and one of the speakers said that she has lost so many so called friends due to her weight loss. I am noticing since I have been on this liquid one of my friends doesn't come around and the other one keeps telling me I am losing my eating partner and trying to push me to do jenny craig.

I love to entertain and cook for my family and friends so this is going to be different, but my health is more important and so is yours.

Continue doing whats best for you, and good luck with your surgery.
