Day 5. I just completed the limb raises. Worries? Finances, weight loss, impending arrivals of family members.

Everything I am worried about at the moment...
1) I had to stay up until 2AM for work and am so dead tired but promised I'd go to spin class later and I want to diiiiiie.

2) My floor was installed but the bathroom hasn't been put back together and I am waiting for an appraiser to come so I can get qualified for plastic surgery funds.

3) Plastic surgery is so far away and I want it NOW NOW NOWWWW. And need to lose that 37lbs by November.

6/4 & 6/5:

10 things I love about me... I was having a ROUGH day so I COULDN'T even pretend to try this ... But today is a new day and I 💝 that I was gifted with a new day (times 10) There... I cheated my way through that one. 😂

I am worried about my family, future & health. Rinse & Repeat.

*Guest* B-Side Question:

If you had a Time Machine, what's the one thing you would change if you could?

Limb raises done!

Worried about today: Work, always work. I'm fortunate though that is my only true stressor.

I was planning for a long walk today. I had an appointment across town, so it is a nice 5+ mile walk round trip. But work got in the way, and I didn't have time to walk, I drove instead.

Anyone else need a destination in order to be motivated to get out and walk? I never just go for a stroll. But I am happy to go to my dry cleaners, the store, eyebrow threading. I guess I need more errands!

One thing I’d change..that’s tough. I’ll go big and say JFK would not have been killed. It feels like a lot of dominos fell after that.

Nothing else to say on that matter, not going to get political.

Gym was a success today, did leg raises and I get to watch trashy TV tonight.

B Side: I would change the way I perceived my body as a teenager/pre-teen. I would have loved myself and never gained weight from depressive overeating. I would go back in time and slap myself and tell myself how good I have it.

Alternatively, I would have opted for my Masters in Experimental Psych rather than have gone to law school, which I did only to please my family.

Either one would have changed my life drastically.

I'd kinda like to try one of those baller treadmills where you log on and join other people around the world walking on simulated trails from around the world. Like you see the screen and the scenery as you walk, and see the other people signed in with you walking around.

Day 4 - whoops... missed this one entirely. Spent the day in bed trying to get rid of this wretched cough.

Day 5 - worries? Biggest one right now is that my hubs has a job interview happening in less than 10 minutes. We *really really REALLY* need him to get a new job, but I'm not sure that this is the right option. Add to that, my hubs is on the spectrum (aspergers), and he doesn't always do well in interviews.

At least my cough is improving now, and I woke up this morning to a 3.4lb weighloss.

B-side: Time machine question... I would want to be a fly on the wall throughout my grandparents' courtship/love story. It's a long rambling story that involves

  • a young man lying about his age to get into the army during WWII,
  • a Dear John letter,
  • an Irish woman named Molly, and her father with a gun,
  • D-day and the Liberation of Holland,
  • my grandmother going to visit my grandfather when he came home from the war and then writing to her family a month later asking them to send her clothes because she got married.

OMG... That could be a novella 💖

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
