Will I ever make it through the pre-op diet????
Well apparently, coming here to vent my fustration worked!@!!!!! Doing the Happy Dance... This morning I weighed and I am down 8 pds..Yeppers, 8 more pds.. Leaving me at 14 to go and and 9 before I can schedule surgery... Now just a little nervousness this morning, because DH was trying to take days off of work to go to Branson for Christmas and no more days are available this month.. But everything will work out in it's time.. If I am given a date before December 31st hubby and I will work it out.. If not, January will be GREAT too..
Thanks everyone for chiming in yesterday, I was really feeling down on myself and very fustrated. But it's so nice to come here and have you all understand..
I am off to get the kids ready for school and going to Lowe's to buy paint. I am redoing my bedroom today..
Thanks again,
Sheila

Sheila,
I know exactly how you feel! Originally, Dr. W. told me I had to lose 14 lbs. (Because I'd already lost 200 lbs. with another diet plan and gained quite a bit back). What did I do? I gained 17! So then I had to lose 31! I struggled, became very frustrated and the last time I visited with Kathy I went in and burst into tears in her office. I was ready to call the whole thing off. She talked to me, calmed me down, and I decided that I was going to do this. I have been following the aggressive plan religiously with about 70 carbs per day since Nov. 6 and I have dropped 22 lbs. in that short amount of time. The one thing that Kathy told me that inspired me was that if I take one bite of something with sugar, it's going to take me out of ketosis and I'll stop losing. For some reason that motivated me and I've done it. I am scheduled for Dec. 22 and go for pre-op next Thursday, Dec. 11. I am so sorry you've had to go through the frustration also, I think part of my problem was my head. I started taking my Prozac again, so that has helped me focus. I hate to admit that I'm as much like my students as anyone, I am ADD and I know it!
Are you on the aggressive plan with no fruit or anything? This is the plan I am following, Jess gave it to me and it really has worked for me, but it has to be followed to the letter. I won't say that it's easy sometimes, but I am determined! I have an EAS shake for breakfast on the way to work about 6;30 a.m.; a Zone Perfect protein bar around 9:30 a.m.; at 12:30 p.m. I have 3 oz. lean protein, and 2 (1/2 cup servings) of cooked veggies..or fresh ones. I have another protein bar in the afternoon, usually around 3:30 p.m. after the kids are gone, my dinner is after my water aerobics class at 7:00 and I have 3 oz. lean protein, two veggies and another EAS shake before I go to bed.
I nearly panicked last night. I love iced tea and I stopped in at a fast food place and ordered unsweet tea....I didn't taste it until I got home and put my sweet-n-low into the glass....it was sweet tea and I'd just sweetened it even more. But the thought that I'd just taken a huge drink of sugar nearly made me panic! I just pretend that it didn't happen and stay on my plan like I would if it hadn't happened. I may be out of ketosis this morning, but I'm pretending I'm not! LOL What I don't know, won't hurt me!
Hugs,
Marsha
