I had my preplanned cheat this weekend... I drove to Brigantine, NJ to visit a friend on Friday... we walked for prob about an hour total..had lunch and coffee...   Saturday I did the "Cinco De Mayo" thing.. had 2 margaritas and a chicken quesidilla.   Back on the wagon today with a fat free caramel macchiato and chocolate protein shake (so far).   I have a 2:45 appointment for my pre op EKG. Will also have my bloodwork done tomorrow.   I've been very emotional lately.. TOM should be

PreOp today   Lost 3 more pounds   still no word on insurance     Did well again today.... 1 1/2 protein shakes, 1 cup of tomato soup and I'm having salad for dinner     ....prob should have had more liquids today....

I did well today ... no cheating... 2 protein shakes and 1 meal (salad with low cal fat free dressing...) I did alot of walking today (shopping) and did 10 min. of bike riding.   Still no word about insurance... I go to the surgeon for my preop tomorrow... hopefully they'll have good news for me!

Since my surgeon only requires a pre op diet of clear liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery... I took it upon myself to replace 2 meals per day with protein shakes, and eat 1 low fat, low cal meal.... I'M GETTING HUNGRY!!! GRRR!   I'm still waiting to hear about the insurance. I spoke with the scheduler from the surgeon's office today... she said she faxed everything to them on Thursday..and should hear something very soon..maybe even today. I'm very nervous.

Endoscopy was a piece of cake... ok, um.. wrong choice of words.. haha.. it was EASY.   I was more nervous about my pending surgical pre auth. I stopped by the surgeon's office on my way to the hospital and dropped off more supporting paperwork for them to send off to BC/BS...when I was there I was told the insurance girl was on the phone with BC/BS for my auth.   Keep your fingers crossed for the approval!!!

I havent updated my journal for a while now... last week was BAD. I stopped my BCP's as I was supposed to 1 month prior to surgery ...and right away my time of the month started... worse than ever before. I was NOT a pleasant person to be around. Fiance asked if he should check into the PMS hotel... I suggested he should. Poor guy. Needless to say I ate like a pig with a tape worm...and didnt dare try to go to the gym because the cramping was so bad...the more I'd move the worse everything got.

Yesterday after I logged my journal I met with my best girl friend... We went to a local place... had a chicken sandwich, a few fries and 2 pints of burbon stout. My favorite!! I'm getting my beer in before I'm cut off!!!!! HAHA!!!   This morning I had a banana and pineapple smoothie w/ vanilla unjury. I had leftovers for lunch... about a tbs of cole slaw and some mac and cheese. Yeah, I should have made better choices...   I'm gonna get moving and go to the gym....now that the monsoon of a

I made it to the gym yesterday for an hour (25 min cardio/35 min resistance training). It felt good....but my shoulder really started to hurt when I came home. I ate well yesterday.. no slip ups.   This morning I had a strawberry smoothie made with 1 scoop of vanilla unjury, 1 1/2 cups of skim milk and about 2 handfulls of fresh strawberrys. yum. I only had half of what I made... I figure I'll have the rest for a mid-afternoon snack. For lunch I made whole grain brown rice with steamed vegg

HELP! I keep slipping up!!!

:help:   OK, yesterday was Easter (big family gathering) and I did better than I thought I would. Actually, I really wasnt hungry. I had a little cole slaw and a little mac and cheese...then had a little lemon fluff (light crust, a cheesecake mixture and whipped cream). I came home and had chocolate mousse. :faint:   Got up this morning and I had to have some bloodwork done so I was fasting until around 11am. I was STARVING...and went into pig-out mode. I had more chocolate mousse, a roast b

Weekend

Its the weekend..and yes, I slipped up.   Friday night I went to dinner with my fiance and without being unfair to those who are already banded... I had ALOT of things I shouldnt have had at all... we went to Red Robin. Enough said. I did make it to the gym for an hour in the morning... but that hardly makes up for my feasting.   Today is Easter.. so to all of those who celebrate.. have a happy one. We will go to my grandmothers for dinner....and seeing how my fiance is muslim and I cant s
