  1. I am getting very nervous all of a sudden. More people are starting to know what I am doing and decided not to keep it a big secret but noted spreading it around in the newspaper. Did well on the pre-op diet while I was off of work besides eating at Pappadeaux for Mother's Day and having a few bites of mashed potatoes and creme brulee. Will be a busy week...

  2. 9 days to go

    I am trying to post daily on this great journey to the ideal BMI. I am on my 4 night stretch in the ER so it has been difficult to keep the days until clear. The diet went better the last 24 hours. I think I figured out the difficulty with the diet and my work schedule. The plan they have is for one who sleeps at night and works days. I tend to be eating my carbs before bedtime and then having 2 shakes together during the rough active part of my day. DH asked for donuts yet again this morning :thumbdown: but I did well and did not have a bite. He bought a lean steak for lunch/dinner and we shared it YUMMY!! Been a non eventful evening so far...
  3. Before I go to bed for my sleep in the batcave, Here is how day 4 went. I am miserable. Andrew woke up Sunday morning teething at 7am. Dealt with a grouchy terrible 2 who only wanted to use the new cordless vacuum or throw balls at the dog. My plans for childcare drop off changed at the last minute so there was no dinner at Luby's for a quick salad and chicken breast I was so desiring all day long. I detoured for a quick salad and chicken breast from the mexican place we ate the other day. I skipped the cheese too and only ate approx 6 chips with salsa, not the whole dish like usual. :thumbup: I even ordered the nonfat skinny latte for work. Of course it was gone before crew change was done. Busy as usual, had a vent pt, conscious sedation of a 2 year old, terminal cancer pt.... The others ordered Chilli's :crying: I said NO! and then had my shake. I was more worried about my next meal then anything else. I was counting down the hours till the cafeteria opened for oatmeal! I even clocked out and ate in the cafeteria, 1 serving of each - scrambled eggs and oatmeal (plain). I feel like STARVING right now.
  4. I am starving today!! It is day 3 and I am famished. DH brought home Shipley's donuts for everyone. I did good and had 2 scrambled eggs with some salsa over it. I am still hungry and it is only 11am. No cheating was done on Day 2 :crying:. I had a wonderful salad that was a grilled chicken breast on top of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and avacado with salsa for dressing. I ate 5 chips only! I did well with the shakes but woke up HUNGRY last night. I need some snack ideas or this will not work! I am counting down the minutes for a shake... I keep on getting on the scale if I am tempted to eat anything. Is that a bad idea. Of course my scale was off from the doctor office too, it was 3 lbs lighter I think. It has a mind of its own. :confused2:
