Recommended Posts

Just notified this week that I will be having surgery on December 9th. Forced to start my 2 week pre-op asap! I'm excited but sad I didn't get to eat all my favorite foods.

I'm excited for my new journey!! I never thought it would happen this quick.

Mavic (autocorrects as Magic!) congratulations -- very exciting. On the pre-op I was happy to drop some pounds knowing for the first time I wouldn't be gaining back again. And don't have a food funeral because eventually you will be able to have the foods you love again -- you'll just be able to make really good choices about them and be satisfied with very little. Adhere to your surgeon's plan and you will do really well. Good luck with all! During pre-op I started a walking routine and I'm really glad I did that as it gave me something to step into right after surgery. I didn't want to but I did it anyway. The walking helped kick my body into healing mode. And shedding. Be patient with the process and pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself and your healthy future. Best wishes.

Mavic I am right behind you, surgery on the 11th. How are you getting on with the pre op diet? It has been really tough for me. I cheated a little last night and had some hard cheese, a handful of cashews and a few bites of lean steak, still high Protein low carb though! Today I am determined to be more stringent.

I have a 90 minute yoga class later today and hopefully that will bliss me out!
