I wasn't even obsessing over any of the wrong foods but those Rotisserie Chickens were calling my name laying there looking all Sexy.

Yup, they're soooo shameless. I've been doing whole chickens in the crock-pot (slow-cooker) lately and find they are actually every bit as good and far healthier. I leave the skin on and give the whole thing a Mrs Dash Herb and Garlic massage and lay it on top of veggies, with some no-salt chicken broth. I try not to eat the skin but cooking with the skin helps keep them as moist as the ones at the store and mine aren't pumped full of fats and salt.

I'm a terrible (lazy) cook so if I can do this anyone can. LOL

I think tomorrow will be interesting because its Clear Liquids followed by a 2.am Wake-up to catch a 5:30 am flight to Mx and nothing by mouth after 12 am. The next Several days have been talked about for 15 years but now its time to set my Fear of the unknown aside and make a change for the BETTER!!!

So I am 24 days Post Op and down 27lbs from my Surgery weight. As I look back I realize although it was difficult it was so worth going into Surgery in the most Healthy state that I could get in. I really plan on creating some low carb options for all of those coming behind us that will be enduring the liquid diet. Puree is almost worse than liquid because it takes 10 or so Delicious ingredients and makes it taste like Blah lol.

I am 12 days from my one year Surgiversary and I tell you it is as hard today as it was a year ago. I have finally admitted to myself that I have a food Addiction Duh I know right. I always thought that I could quit anytime I want but now I find that I have to adhere to a Schedule. So now its 3 small meals and one afternoon snack. Stay away from the Carbs and the Sugars and Cheat Days turn into Cheat months for me, so its better just not to do them. I am still a work in Progress.

Those roasted chickens lurk right next to the fresh baked bread in my store. Talk about obnoxious evil,stress upon my wavering convictions. Wanted to spray air freshener but with my luck it would be Apple cinnamon. Help, please remove me from here!😦

Duly noted that all grocery shopping for 1 month before and 3 months after must be done by my husband. I'll be sure to tell him that was a direct order from my dietitian. lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
