I am 7 days into my liquid diet... blah... that is how I'm feeling right now... I have 1 week and the rest of the afternoon until my surgery and it can't get here fast enough... the first few days were the toughest I suppose... but it gets really hard when I'm cooking dinner for the kiddos... I just can't wait to have food in my mouth again... I never thought I'd miss chewing food... crazy huh?... but anywho I continuously look at this website and read blogs and it helps keeps my eyes on the prize... I know it will all be worth it... I just wish I had more energy right now... I don't know if its mental or actual physical but I feel like I am drained... oh well no need to continue to whine... I wanted this and regardless of what critics might say it's not an "easy" way out... I will be fine... I will be successful

WooHoo... I got my surgery date!... April 6th... yay... so many emotions... excitement... anxiety... fear... but I really think this is all normal... right?... anywho I know I am ready for this and the most prodominant emotion right now  is eagerness... I will start the 2 week liquid diet on Wednesday the 23rd and go in the following week for my pre-op appt... I can't wait... I think the liquid diet is my biggest fear right now... I would love some suggestions... Wish me luck

Well I had my nutritionist evaluation on Tuesday afternoon... all went well... except I gained 2 pounds since the surgeons consult... WHAT... anywho she discuss my eating habits and all... I have to be on a 1400 calorie "lifestyle" change for the next 2 weeks and increase my exercise... I go back to see her on March 14th... and if I've done my "homework" then she said I would be ready to move forward... yay... the 1400 calories isn't so bad... I get full with what I eat... it's the NO sodas thing thats being a big ol' pain in the butt... well head because I've had a headache since yesterday morning... lol... but I know that shall pass... the sad thing is I only drink DIET soda and I thought that should be fine... hello ZERO calories... but apparently it's the carbonation that I won't be able to have and eliminating it now will prepare me for it later... okay then... I will do it!...  Now as for the exercise... OMGeezy... My fabulous fiance bought me Zumba for the Wii... yay... I loved it... when it was in the box... lol... that has single handly kicked this big girls butt!... I only got throught 15 mins of the 20 beginners class and was laying on the floor gasping for air... maybe it wasn't quite as dramatic as I seem to remember it but it was definitely not a walk in the park either... speaking of walking I have joined a group of friends and we walk around our neighborhhod in the afternoons... its quite nice and I enjoy it very much... well except for the incline to get back to the starting part... it's tough but I plan to conquer it without a pitstop real soon...  So thats pretty much it... I am moving right along and getting more excited each day... please continue to wish me luck and I can't "weight" to get to the losing side... woohoo!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I fooled, uhhh I mean passed, the psyche evaluation... he said I appear to be ready for the new life style and is sending his recommendation... Yay!
