Back On Track


I'm on Day Seven of my pre-op diet. Surgery is Tuesday, 24 August, 2010. After two planned transgressions -- and one spontaneous one! -- Hubby and I are back on track! Today has been a really good day for both of us, diet-wise (That's a phrase that just two weeks ago, I wouldn't have been able to imagine typing, "a really good day ... diet-wise"!). Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I am totally psyched (Another thing I never thought I'd type!)! I also go see my PCP tomorrow, so I'll have his weight to compare to, too.

Hubby has a business trip that will last a couple of weeks in just a few days. I'm kind of dreading him being gone. For one thing, I genuinely like my husband and enjoy his company, so I'll miss him. But, because he's been doing my pre-op diet with me, he's kind of kept me honest. No cheating in front of him means no cheating! His very presence is moral support for me. Without him at home, I'll sleep and be up at odd hours (just because I can be) and the temptation to eat in the middle of the night may hit me. So look for lots of random blog posts the next couple of weeks! I'll be needing your support and encouragement even more than normal!

  1. i heard that... Late night is a bad scary temptation time for me too. I need to go to sleep earlier but here i am at 2:10am reading blogs... I will be here for support for you and you can be here for me... What pre-op diet are you doing over a month before your surgery? *Maria*-Blogger from "This one time at Band Camp..."

  2. Are you on a liquid diet? A month early is a long time but that's what I did but they ended up letting me have my surgery early so it only ended up being for 2 weeks.

    You have my support! :) I know how hard it is but you're doing great.
