Pre-Op

Surgery is 12, 1 dozen, 2 more than 10, a week and 5 days away!!!  I decided to kick start the pre-op off a little early.  My doc only requires a 5 day pre-op, but I have a little "adjusting" to do in my head I believe.  I started the post-op shake and mushy, high protein, low carb + massive amounts of water. I got on the scale yesterday when I got up (1:00PM!! No, not from a hangover or foodover, just a start the year out slow and happy with my best friend Rob and our other furry family members).  The scale said: 204.5!  Yowwww...... it was a little stingy to see that number on the scale since my past 2 New Years I was ~140lbs. and may have not even cared to get on the scale.  All the better to see it, process it and move the hell on!

My new Brita was filled to the brim.  I had a 1/2 de-caff coffee with a splash of almond milk and my vitamins.  A full 160z of water then a Chike Strawberry shake with Almond Milk.  That was the kick start. More water, more water at the movies (Hobbit, love me some hobbits!) and for dinner, Chicken Broth and a Fage 0% with SF Raspberry jam. Night cap was more water.....  Only up 1X to pee!  A masterful day for me!

Plan going well for staying on track.  My daughter and I heading to the gym later this afternoon and I am going to plan on 45-60 min of some cardio.  My son, the weight training guy, is working up a plan for me, but won't be joining us today since he is being a naughty teenager (quite unusual actually) and will be grounded for some not to be mentioned indiscretion.

Rob is doing okay with my absence of a fellow food machine and has decided that he is good "foraging" for food at dinner for a while so that I don't need to spend so much time focused on food. I am in a "nesting" phase.  I can only equate it with the time before my Lap-Band surgery.  I have a pantry stocked with food staples: single pack tuna and chicken, FF Refried Beans, Chike Shakes, Chicken and Beef Broth, Frozen Salmon, Tilapia, SF Jello, etc.

2014 starting off good!!
