Halfway through my pre-op diet :)

Well, I'm halfway through my pre-op diet. I was doing great...til this afternoon. I went to a graduation party and they had lemon pepper chicken wings, so I ate two of those. Then there was the cookie cake...had a few bites of that. Now I also ate raw veggies, if that counts for anything. So the rest of this evening I've been feeling super guilty for cheating. I know it wasn't much, but why can't I have willpower to just say no. I'm hoping the band will help me with that.

I've made a promise to myself, no more cheating!! I can do this, I have to do this, for me. I want to be healthy and at a normal weight more than I want anything else. Way more than I want cookies, cakes or O'Charley's rolls.

I leave for Denver in 4 days. I can't believe my surgery is this week! I'm so ready to get the surgery behind me and begin the journey to the new me. I keep trying to imagine myself next May, what will I look like? More importantly, what will I feel like? Will I be able to sit by my swimming pool without being mortified when someone shows up at the house? I really can't wait for my self confidence to return. That will be fantastic.

I've been shopping. I've got my groceries for when I get home. Tomato soup, V-8, sugar free pudding, applesauce...yummy. I also bought an immersible blender so I don't have to wash out my blender every time I make a protein shake. I think I'm ready!

Your doing really good. i am also on a pre-op diet but i haven't been doing as well. The first day i did very good, the 2nd & 3rd day okay. but then the weekend came and it is mother's day i just started eating. I did eat less than i normally do so i was proud of that. tomorrow i go back to work and i will start on my liquids again. Hang in there!
