  1. Day One - Prep Op Diet

    · rpattilo1972 · 08/01/2013 13:07

    It's day one of my quest for a new me! Went grocery shopping last evening for liquids.... and more liquids - must be prepared and have a variety of items on hand to get my though these 14 days pre-op diet!
     
    Had some coffee this morning (had to have that) driking water, and just taking it step by step - hour by hour.
     
    I am scared of surgery, scared of complications which makes me super obedient to follow all of docs rules to a tee, so I have no doubt that I will do fine through these 14 days.
     
    August 15 is my band date, let the countdown begin!!!!!
  2. So I am one week away from my surgery date! I am so surprised at how fairly well I am doing with my pre op diet. This experience has truly made me think about my relationship with food, emotional/social eating, etc.. this process has made me evaluate a lot of things. Not knowing what to do with my famiy socially on Saturdays -- without eating out, it makes me realize that I need to find other ways of occupying my time. I am hoping that dropping some weight will give me more energy and take away the need to be isolated all of the time, so I won't mind going out and being seen!
     
    I can say that I am not really nervous about the surgery any more, just really anxious to get it over with and start my new life!
     
    Being on this site has pros and cons, I tend to be the type to read the negative stories more than the positive ones (which is not really good for me). So I am trying to spend a little less time here until post surgery.
     
    Well thats it for now,..let the countdown begin! ...
