I have been doing the Pre Op Diet for a week now .
I have been totally starving... Grumpy.... It is like I NEED Suger and Bread so bad that I am dreaming of going to IHOP for pancakes with straberries and whipped cream or to the Red Lobster for the cheese biscuits. Lori who answers the OCC phone calls said I can eat lots of salad during this time so now I am filling bowls to the top with veggies. Huge mixing bowls with mushrooms,tomato, leattuce, carrots, green beans, cucumbers etc. I found some 0 calorie salad dressings that I am using on the salads. Since adding the salads I have gained 2 pounds. Maybe I just need to go back to the two protein shakes and one low calorie dinner again. Being a bulk eater you give me permission to eat something and I will .
Also, I made a HUGE mistake last night running into the store for some Lean Cusine meals with my 12 year old daughter. She always talks me into buying junk for her to eat. I let her get some sugar cookies and chocolate donuts because I did not want to make her think she was on a diet too. She is a gymnast and she is all muscle.. Why knows why but those cookies were calling my name after she went to bed. I kept telling myself that it was OK to eat them since I was going to get a Lap Band soon so eating a few cookies wouldn't matter. Well it did matter... I stepped on the scale this morning an gained another pound... YIKES.... I am going the wrong way on the scale. Oh well today is another day. I have been told that Success is a Journey not a Destination and I believe it. I am praying for sucess on this Journey...
I am really looking forward to getting my first fill this Saturday at the OCC. I have gained 6 pounds since starting on solid food three weeks ago. I sure hope I will feel some restriction after my fill.
Well I am new at this blogging thing so I just somehow lost the blog I just wrote for today . Now I am typing a new entry... Today started good with a wt loss of 10 pounds since I weighed in at my doctors last week. I have been trying to stick with the Pre Op Diet witht he protein shakes and the low cal microwave meal for dinner.. I have been totally starving. Tonight I made some sugar free jello and had some watermellon. I don't think that it part of the diet but I was starving and when I added the calories of the shakes 360 plus the dinner of 225 that 575 calories was pretty low. I did make two salads with spray dressing but I don't think that had many calories. hopefully in this next month I will be able to stick to this diet and loose some weight. I need someting to look forward to.
I have never written a blog before so I don't know the first thing about it. It kind of feels like writing in a diary when I was a teenager. Well it is official I have one month before I have my surgery. I am excited along with being scared to death. I started out my day with a Walmart Generic Chocolate Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch and I had a salad and a 300 calorie dinner. I have been drinking so much water I feel I am going to float away. I bought a new scale since when I went to the doctor to get weighed my house scale was 8 pounds lighter than the Doctors scale. Kind of depressing that I had thought I was really 8 pounds lighter than I am... I am going to try to not go to the kitchen and get something to eat. Last night I got some of my husbands birthday cake at 1am. I was able to say no to it when everyone else was eating it. But there is just something in side of me that I can not control. I almost always have the best of intentions and then I can never follow through with the Diet or Exercise Plan. I wonder if I will still have all the same cravings after the lap band. I am going to try to go for a walk tomorrow. I also want to go to Yoga this week. I guess this is where I now have to hold my self accountible since I have written it down. I am going to try to go to sleep now or I will not be able to get Anna up in the morning to do her school work. Anna is my 11 year old homeschooling gymnast. I wish I had her energy and metabolism.
