Ready, set, go

Well, I went out for dinner to Olie Garden with a good friend of mine and had 1/2 my dinner sending the other 1/2 home with her and then we went to The Melting Pot for dessert and enjoyed dark chocolate fondue.  I filled myself with water more than anything so I didn't overeat.  I got home around 9:00 pm and cleaned out my pantry and fridge leaving only jello, crystal light, tea and protien powder.  I made a bag of stuff to gie to my sister and a bag for my Mom to take what she wants and give the rest to the food shelf.  So, I am ready to start the liquid diet tomorrow.  I am getting up at 8:00 in the morning to go to aqua aerobics and then to Super Target to get some SF popsicles, more SF jello, milk, broth and SF Carnation Instant Breakfast.  I am determined to get through this next 10 days without cheating.

Good for you....  your on your way.....   :) Start your liquid diet... if you need motivation get infront of the mirror naked and look full on...side view and remind yourself why you are having the surgery. Dont cheat.... this is a big big deal surgery.  Its not another diet.  Its a lifestyle change and one that is for your "life"   Your attitude towards it now will be your attitude for the rest of your life with your new pouch. No food is worth cheating for... the food is what got us all to this spot.

 

One day at a time.... one week... one month one year.... your on your way up to the top of the rollercoaster.

Keep us updated  :)

Thanks!  That is a really good idea, and I will keep it in mind if my mind starts yelling at me for food.  I am also going to put a sign on the fridge that says "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"  I am keeping my eye on the prize!  Can't wait to be at the top of of the rollercoaster (and be abl to fit in the seeats too!).

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!  KEEP THINKING OF THE PRIZE!!!  DO NOT CHEAT -- THE DOCTORS CAN TELL THE MINUTE THEY GO IN AND YOU DON'T WANT THEM SENDING YOU HOME TO RESCHEDULE BECAUSE THE LIVER WASN'T SHRUNK AND THERE WASN'T ENOUGH ROOM!!! COME BACK HERE TO SUPPORT IF YOU NEED TO!!!  ONLY 10 DAYS AND YOU ARE A LOSER!!!!  YEAH!!!!!

They mentioned being able to tell if you cheat when we were at our last NP educational appointment on Wednesday and that was enough to put me in this mode that there will be no cheating allowed.  I have lived too long with my body this way and now I have a chance to change it I am not going to mess up again and let the food win.  I even through away salad dressing so I am not tempted to eat "anything". 

Wow Nicole...that's an awesome way to prepare!  Good job!  I know you can do this!  You are going to be just fine with this attitude!  Determination is a great defense.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole....you will do well..you have a very good attitude about this is the key to success. Stick with the diet...no matter what...you can do it...we all have!! Hugs, connie d
