I thought I completely went off the rails for my birthday weekend. Didn't log anything, didn't drink a single protein shake, didn't go out of my way to get protein or whatever. Ate a few things that are not on plan, but found I only wanted a couple bites of them. Down 1# after the weekend, so it must not have been too horrible. Now it's Monday and I'm back on track.

It's Monday. I'm trying to stay upbeat, so I'll leave it at that.

Oh, I hate insurance companies (reimbursement problem, not a problem with the surgery approval or anything... just terribly frustrating)

One week out. Working from home is going well. I think I'll be able to handle the office 3 days next week. Finding myself just not hungry, having to set reminders on my phone for drinking and protein and walking around. Which is what I'd hoped for, but it makes it a struggle to get in enough.

Finally made it to the pool for a good workout.

Better day today, switching things up to up the protein and fluid intake.

Made it to the gym yesterday with the trainer, I think we over-did the lower body workout, today my knee is killing me. Need to spend more time in the pool.

My previous status should have said 1 week PRE-op down, 5 lbs lost, 1 week to go. 7 days until S-day.

Bad fatigue and brain fog day. Want to sleep, but am at work and when I get home I have grad school homework.

Just keep swimming...

Day 2 pre-op. Yesterday went pretty good. Learned a lot, made some not-great-but-not-horrible choices. Today will be better.

Preop Day 3 was good. Managed to make good choices eating out even. Now for the weekend.
