Pre-op started TODAY!!!! Yippie!!!

By nbrett

· 319 views

I have started my pre-op diet today. I am super pumped up about the process. I gave up coffee two days ago. I have these very intense headaches from the caffeine with drawls. YIKES! I will be glad when the headaches are gone. I feel like I have this new frame of mind that is not going to listen to my inner demons telling me that "You will fail". Loosing weight in the past, I always got to a certain amount about 180 and I would stop. I am sooo looking forward to getting down to about 150. i have a good 90lbs to go but I am very motivated.

 

I have a very thin and very fat obsessed mother the has always been in the "spotlight" my whole life. I have always heard "wow your mom is so thin, wow your mom looks amazing". I am proud of her and love her but darn it THIS IS MY TIME!!:thumbup:

    nbrett - your story seems very similar to mine and we are on pretty much the same schedule, I start on Friday, even though I have mentally started this week, watching what I am eating. I to find myself getting to 180/190 and get stuck. I also have a mother who I love but is the most critical of my weight and even speaks to my husband about, and he loves me for who I am! Good luck on your diet, are you aloud decaf black coffee, at least the taste might fool your cravings.. I drink it REALLY hot to take the bitter taste away. You have a great spirit and will do very well!! Good Luck
