Thanks Aviva! I'm thinking I won't miss the soda too bad too. I think it's mostly in my head...no, I KNOW it is. Kristin Wiig--love her! But never thought I sounded like her...I'll take it though. :)
Way to go! I am so happy for you. You have been so dedicated to the 1200 calories it seems. The food is my downfall that is why I am having the surgery. It will help me cut back dramtically and on what I put in my mouth. "ANYWAYS", Keep us updated. You should tell AJ so he can call you after your surgery and give us all an update if you're not up to it. Good luck!
I actually surprised myself at how well I did with the food plan, normally I'm not like that, lol. I think that for me this was the last straw and I wanted to do whatever I could to get through the process as fast as possible! Thanks for the reminder, I'll let AJ know today.
Christine, I am hoping that you do another video right before your surgery. It would be cool to see what is going on in your mind and what you did to prepare for it. I am excited now (May 4th) for my surgery but I will probably get more nervous as I get closer. One more week to go girlfriend! How exciting!
I'm doing a video TODAY!!! 6 days left and I've got lots of feelings going on. My friend is having surgery today and she just texted me that they were taking her back. She should be under and 10am and done by 11am...SO EXCITING!
She's doing really good. She had surgery on Tuesday and everything went smoothly. She's just advancing to full liquids today and ready for something more than just clear liquids. Her port and the gas pain is the worst, but she's been on the Lortab and it's kept her pain down. Yesterday she did only Tylenol (liquid) all day and then Lortab at bedtime. Her pain is about a 3-5 depending on if it's near meds time. 3 more days for me, and I SWEAR I'm gonna make a video today. FOR SURE before surgery!
That's great. Glad to see she is doing well. That gas pain is no joke. It was painful when I had my gall bladder removed. A 3 is good considering she just had major surgery. I know you will get to your video. I am sure you are busy preparing yourself for the post op stuff you will need. Wishing you the best as always!
You've done fantastic on the pre-op weight loss, you're going to be a super star after surgery!
The last meal mentality is so totally normal, and really other than soda after you're done healing you can have little bits of all the stuff you're eating now.
I hope the next two weeks flies by!! I'm so excited for you that you've finally got a date!
I haven't hit a stall yet, and I'm hoping I won't for a long time post-op (but it probably will happen at some point). I'm keeping myself really busy for the next couple of weeks so that time doesn't drag. This seriously feels like the last couple weeks of a pregnancy! lol
yeah, the waiting is the worst! we have all felt that way, for sure... plus i think all of us had the desire to do that goodbye to fav foods goodbye tour.. lol!
I've always been bad at waiting...I usually convince hubby to let me open one present early. :) I'm trying not to give into the final food urges, but I don't think a couple yummy dinners in small portions will be too horrible.
You are doing so awesome already! You must be so excited and I'm excited for you! What a great head start you have. Looking forward to watching your journey.
Thank you! I remember being frustrated that I had to lose 27 lbs pre-op (I just wanted to have it now!) but now I feel so much better and I think the head start will keep me motivated.
Congrats on the weight loss from your diet and Im exciited for you as your surgery date is slowley approaching..Please keep us up to date on your progress and you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through surgery...good luck!
