4 days until the BIG one.

I'm down 8.2 lbs on my 11th day of the liquid diet. I'm actually feeling the loss in my clothes, which just makes me more excited and pumped up to have the surgery and get even MORE off. I had my pre-op app. with my gp and she's 'signed off' so there's no stopping me now. I'm understanding that need to chew issue that I read about. But the V8 satiates my need for salt pretty well (I would HOPE 920 mg of sodium would do the trick!)

 

Right now I'm feeling absurdly narcissistic and completely wrapped up in ME ME ME. I feel a bit badly about this, but I think I'm feeling weirdly about it because I never have thought about ME in the past; it's always been about my husband or kids or parents or students or anybody EXCEPT me. I've neglected myself and it shows in my excessive weight.

 

I feel differently already and wonder if people can SEE the change in me.

I am totally in the same boat. I am going on the 4th and am feeling completely the same. I just keep telling myself I may be selfish now...but it is going to be to everyone's benefit in the end. We can do this. I am getting excited to meet the new me.

I totally did this too and I'm 20 months out and everything is all about me still.....I love it and if we really stop and think about, everyone's life is about them (me part) so why was it not okay for us before? Since i've been about me, this has also trickled down to everyone in my family and they are learning to take better care of themselves too. What a wonderful trickle down effect....... Keep it up everyone!! You will be gaining in so many different ways........ :P
