Adios Cigna!

After two denials I decided to go to Mexico for sugery. Specifically, Dr. Ortiz. Of course he has a pre-op diet. Yep, I just HAD to pick the doc with a pre-op diet. So tonight was the Last Supper. Mexican with ice cream for dessert. I bought some protein powder from GNC and hopefully it isn't super gross. I can't believe surgery is just a little over a week away. Wow. I'm excited but scared. The life changes ahead of me are huge. But that would be true no matter which weight loss path I chose. The fact is, I have had an unhealthy relationship with food and eating and I need help to change. I just want to make it through the next 7 days without food. It is both a mental and ohysical challenge. I know I can do it!

Good Luck you will be fine. Keep you eye on the prize. Remeber why you are doing this. Start walking, you have to keep your mind off of food. Drink lots of water and the day before surgery so they can find your veins easily.

You'll have a great time with Dr. Ortiz. I just got back last week. At least the preop diet is only a week, right? Hang in there!
