1 week after..

I can't believe I'm 1 week out from my surgery. The first 3 days I was so nauseated that the thought of liquids other than water touching my lips made me gag.   By day 4 I was actually willing to have some sort of soup but definitely NOT chicken broth. My mom is Thai so she made a Thai soup which she always made me when I was sick, called Khao Tom (Rice soup). It's basically as it sounds, but the rice is cooked so long and it turns into yummy rice flavored liquid. I was still forcing myself t

Tomorrow is the day...

I am having my surgery tomorrow morning and for some reason I am less worried now than I was the last few days. It's nice to have people around to support me.   I just hope I've done all the right things to help the surgery go by smoothly.

I am feeling a little more hungrier today than other days, and I spoke with my dietitian and she said I could have maximum of 80g of carbs and 20g of fat, total.

He said he was going to do everything in his power to help me and get me ready for my new life. He wanted me to first lose 40lbs. I pushed really hard, working out 3 days a week, eating healthy-ish meals, smaller portions. May 21st I received the call that I was Approved for the Lap Band. I then had to start the 2 week liquid Pre Op diet.
