Time to Get Serious

[healthy-me-in-Az 0]

YIKES! I am 3 weeks away from band! Looks like I need to get serious about this! I got my packet in the mail today. According to this, I should have already given up caffeine. I drink iced tea. I should be exercising 30 minutes a day. Not doing that either. Oops.

There is no special pre-op diet for me, but I am supposed to lose 10 lbs before my surgery. So I am starting tomorrow with my own diet. I am going to do a Protein Shake for Breakfast, nutrisystem entree for lunch and then just protein/veggie for dinner.

I bought a magic bullet today and also liquid vitamins.

Wow, it seemed so far away and I have a feeling surgery will be here before I know it! :tongue:

How is everyone else preparing????

I have a preop liquid diet that I must follow for 10 days prior to surgery. It is full liquids/lo-carbs for the first 9 days and Clear liquids with a bowel prep the day before surgery. In the meantime, I have to admit, I'm eating many of my favorite foods. However, I'm not pigging out on those things. For example, I went to Carino's today and got potato Soup and Bowtie Festival, but I didn't finish it.

As for exercise, I bought a used treadmill. I have walked on it twice so far. I also bought a Wii and the Wii Personal Trainer. I hope to start getting active one small step at a time.
