Today my boyfriend and I went through all of my old clothes. I found tons of clothes that I never got a chance to wear because I gained weight. This made me even more excited for the surgery. So far I'm feeling great today. I'm making cauliflower soup for dinner. Having experience in the kitchen is really paying off, being able to make food taste good without adding fat. The zumba game for the wii is a pretty good workout, but I can't stand the music. I think I'll try it on mute with my ipod on next time. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the anesthesiologist to discuss the surgery.

Today is going much better than yesturday. I'm not tired at all or grumpy. The squash I made last night turned out great *says the bf* but i didnt like the texture at all. The choclate flavored protein shake is really starting to bother me. At first I could handle it but now it's just gross. I'm going to call the pharamacy to see if I can switch the chocolate for vanilla, I doubt they will let me but it doesn't hurt to try. I'm getting so excited for my surgery I've already started to browse the non-plus size stores. I'm also excited for the money I'll be saving. I'm sick of paying an extra $50 for an additional 3 inches of material.

The pre-op diet is finally starting to take it's toll. I was so tired and weak all day I even had to leave work early. All I want to do is sleep which isn't so bad as it makes the days go by. We got all new "blue menu" (healthy) products in at work today, it took some will power to walk away from sampling them. Hopefully I'll be trying them out soon enough. Tonight for dinner I'm having spaghetti...squash. Only 8 more days to go!

Day 5 and still going strong. I do admit I was a tad bit moody today but lack of sugar will do that to a person. I got a new blender today and bought the protein powder for after my surgery. As the days count down I get even more excited.

Note to self...don't mix chocolate protein powder with black coffee. Other than that little mishap day 4 is going great. I feel better than I've felt in months, make that years. I lost another 2 pounds which means I lost 10 pounds in 4 days. My nutritionist told me I would only lose 15-20 pounds on the 2 week diet so I'm probably going to have to call my nutritionist if the weight loss keeps up like this.

Today so far is going great. I mixed my vanilla protein powder with cold black coffee instead of water and it was amazing. I still haven't had any hunger pains or headaches. This morning I weighed myself because I was curious. I started the diet weighing 294 and as of this morning I weighed 286. I couldn't believe it so I took a 30 pound weight and weighed it. Turns out the scale is right, I lost 8 pounds in 3 days. The crystal light popsicles I made yesterday turned out pretty good. Once I finish them I'm going to make a batch of Arizona peach ice tea popsicles.

Today I decided to keep track of my weight loss journey, so here it goes. After reading all the stories about the pre op diet i was pretty nervous to start it. I was put on the 2 week meditrim diet. 2 shakes, 1 bar, 2 cups of vegetables and plenty of water everyday. Day 1 was great i had no hunger pains, headaches or dizzy spells. I had 2 vanilla shakes, one peanut butter bar and lots of liquids. Im also allowed to have decaffeinated coffee or tea with sweetener and skim milk as well as anything 5 calories or less. Day 2 so far is going good. I was pretty tired around 10am but i figured i would be tired on such a low calorie diet. I just made some crystal light popsicles to help with snacking habits, hopefully they turn out good.
