298.2..That is what the scale says! YEA ME!!!

I am out of the 300's....no more 350+ either! I feel TWO-riffic!!!

 

I have been battling a sinus cold...and my feet hurt soooo bad from the plantar Faciitis that I can barely move...but I keep walking the 1 1/2 miles per day and all the other stuff that I do on a daily bases. Timing was great on the sinus cold though...I would rather have it now..than to have it while I am recovering from surgery. :)

 

Let's see what else am I doing...

 

I have been on the liquid pre-op diet for 13 days now....it really hasn't been that difficult. Here is what I eat every day (or close to it).

 

4oz 1% milk with a scoop of IsoFlex Protein (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

Egg drop soup or other soup stocks

Jello

Decaf tea and coffee

Over 80 oz of water per day

 

That is my new diet! In those 12 days..I have lost 8.8lbs! That is good...but I was hoping for a bigger number! :)

 

I excercise daily...most of the time it is me walking 1 1/2 miles per day. I can't do cardio because of my AFib..and bad knee. So walking is my friend. I bought the Zumba...but haven't been doing it...why you ask... I have no cordination ...and it frustates me. I will keep trying though.

 

What else..

 

Surgery is in 10 days! Yes...10 days...next Wednesday! I am so excited for this..I have worked very hard to reach my goal..(being under 300 lbs before surgery) and now that I am there (298.2) I am ready! I don't have any major fears... surgery itself is scary but I have a great team of doctors and my surgeon is the BEST! If I have any concerns it is post-surgery with blood clots...I take coumidin and that is always scary! My pulmonologist is awesome and I know he will take great care of me.

 

Family... oh how I love the support I am getting from everyone. NO ONE is unsupportive in my friends and family circle. I am truly blessed and I know this after ready the post on here. My family has prepared and is waiting patiently for the surgery day too.

 

Well... that is it of now! God bless!
