I am so proud of myself....Last week, I went to my doctors and was dismayed that in 2 months I had put on a LOT of weight. He ordered me to go on a liquid diet asap and come back in this morning for a final pre-op weigh-in. My surgery was in jeopardy of being rescheduled.
I have had nothing but opti-fast, lettuce, celery, plain tuna, low fat cottage cheese and sugar free jello for the past 8 days. In no instance did I have more than 800 calories a day, but I grazed almost all day on the "good stuff". This was so tough, because not only was I ravenous for the first few days, but my family was eating all of things I love around me. I didn't cheat once and after day 3 I even got huge (and very strange to me) power over food.
Anyhow, I was so upset this morning on the way to the doctor's office because I had this horrible vision of that nasty scale saying I had put on weight. I just knew something was going to go wrong. My husband went with me and was so good to try to allay my fears.
Well, I went to the doctor's, took off my sweater, jewels and sandals. Hopped on that scale and closed my eyes. The nurse was ecstatic as she told me the news, I lost 9 pounds in 8 days. Yeah me! I'm all ready for surgery on Tuesday (4 days and counting!!!!!) at 6am.
Since I made weight, the fat girl inside of me said let's go celebrate with one last cheeseburger and fries! But the girl in control of her eating said...Why would I want to do that? and had tuna and cottage cheese for lunch.
I feel so good about myself right now; it is amazing.
Relief...made my weigh-in this am 4 days and counting
