I'm still plugging along on the preop diet..

Thanks for the encouragement.. I am still trying so hard to not eat everything or anything I cna find.. The last two days were going to be only liquids but I did eat a bowl of soup. I was so cold and wanted more than just hot tea.. But I feel like it was ok because I stepped on the scale this morning and was 240.2... that is my lowest yet.. so I am a little excited again.. I think maybe the scale moving was all I needed to see.. My hubby is home today and tomorrow so I am going to have him help me measure too. Maybe I have been loosing inches instead of lbs.. if so that my also encourage me.. I just wish the insurance didnt put so much pressure on the numbers on the scale.. but with all the support here on OH and people rooting for me it helps.. really make you want to try to not dissappoint anyone.. when you are accountable to others it helps..
I will try to remember to post my inches after we get them and see where I am at..
just being able to say 63lbs lost now is so great..
Thanks again for the encouragement ..

hugs.

Theresa, 63 pounds is awesome! I know you can continue to succeed on this preop diet! Every pound you lose now is one less you have to lose later. Plus, your liver is shrinking nicely to make it easier for your surgeon to do his magic. Hang in there! Also, warm liquids seemed more filling and satisfying to me when I was on liquids. I would doctor up broth with spices to make it taste better, and found some herbal teas that I liked. I always had a warm drink in the eves while I was watching TV.-Pam

thanks for the encouragement Pam. I am drinking a wonder herbal tea called lemon blossom.. I jsut love it and yes it does seem to curb that need to eat for a little while.. My poor body is going from ice cold popcicles to hot tea..  I am really trying now to see if I can break this old plateau I have been on.. Only one more week left until the final weigh in..
I think I have made myself sick worying about all this.. I feel lousy today and achy.. So I am really not hungry today so today wont be so hard..
I am using all the encouragement from you guys to help me.. When I get hungry I come back to
the computer and read all the responces I got..  They really do help bring you into the right state of mind..

Thanks again'
hugs.
