Waiting for Surgery~

My surgery is December 17. Today is day 9 on the preop diet. I've been having protein shakes twice a day, and one meal is soup. I have had a headache all day today, but for the most part I have been doing pretty good. I have even noticed the last couple of days I'm not hungry first thing in the mornings and have to make myself drink that morning shake! I have several folks that know about my decision to have the Lap Band surgery. At first my co-workers thought I was crazy to want to do this, but with time and them doing some research they've come to understand this is the safest option for weight loss out there. The one question that my family and friends ask is why am I doing it at Christmas time? To me there is really no better time than now to have the surgery. Even with all the food that is out there and snacks being brought to the office I find that I can just walk right by and not give all the yummy stuff a second look! Just today my Husband and I were out finishing out our Christmas shopping for lunch we went to Olive Garden I had Chicken Gnocchi soup and not one bread stick which in the past I would have eaten several! I wish I could have had this kind of resolve in the past, but as my Husband is fond of saying quit looking back and keep looking forward!

I am so excited for my surgery next week! Looking forward to the Holidays which have taken on a new meaning for me this year. I look forward to seeing the weight drop off and me being in better health and able to do all the things I want to do!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I enjoyed reading your post and look forward to your progress. My surgery will be on Dec. 29 so I will start my preop diet on Dec. 15. I have such high hopes since I have tried so many things over the years and nothing seems to make me stick to it. Good luck and I look forward to your next post.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
    • I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats! And a BIG congrats on quitting smoking a second time! It was hard enough to do it once... So - when I say BIG congrats... I mean BIIIIIG congrats! ❤️
