The scale has been a little more fiendly the last couple of days. I've been watching my salt and carbs better. Still struggling with night eating, but making better snack choices. I am doing a lot of the shopping and trying to make sure there are more vegetables and protein in the house.
Is it common to have a mental regression? It seems like near a yaer out from urgery the mindless eating started. Or is it the lack of things to do in the late Fall and Winter?
Getting off the prednisone put me in a brain fog, but I am glad I am done with it now. Still walking with a cane but sciatica has gotten a little better.
Good week to all.

Welcome to the Board! 
No shame in your game to be scared. This is not a sprint but a marathon. You do it one day at a time. Best advice is found in signature line! 
BTW: I've been wearing the same unis for over 7.5 years. Fixing to replace them because of wear and tear and not from outgrowing them. Other than riding up into my throat when I'm driving my vest fits like it should but a smaller duty rig leaves limited space to carry all the tools of the trade.
Good Luck Tuesday!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
I was as scared as a little girl. In a cemetery. By herself. At midnight. On Halloween. It was my first major surgery ever, too. I had second thoughts right up until they put the lights out for me. The chances of dying are extremely small. If your surgeon is competent, the chances of complications are also very small. And (and here comes the hard part) if you OBEY DOCTOR'S ORDERS, the chances of complications are greatly reduced.
In other words, don't start munching on forbidden food right out of the gate. Don't decide you need to start lifting weights a week out of surgery. Don't blah blah blah. Follow your plan, and you will do well. Getting the surgery is actually the easy part. It is changing what is in your head that takes most of the effort. Good luck with it. And please report back once you've have your surgery and let us k ow how you're doing.
Hello All,
My surgery date [02/20/2018] is approximately 28 hours away and I'm as terrified as I am excited, and then some more. This will be my first surgery of any sort and can't believe I started my "Lifestyle Change Journey" back in October of 2017 and now the day is almost here.
Could use some prayers and words of encouragement right now to help with the anxiety. There's no turning back and I will be spending my day drinking clear liquids and doing anything to keep my mind off of it until it's time.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to joining the loser's bench and start living a Happy LIFE!

I'm cross posting! Maybe the mods will get me! 
Oh no! Competing posts! I checked in at 267 3/4 lbs this morning, so I'm calling it 268. That's up three from last week. I suspect it may be from one of two things. I am finally getting back to eating regularly. That's one. The other was not dropping a deuce for several days, which happened (of course) after drinking my 32 oz of coffee, eating breakfast, and getting dressed for the day. I would like to be around 270, 275 tops. So all is good here, on several levels. Life is settling into its new normal.

The TV at my house in regards to the NBA "All-Star" game this year. Heard some of Mr. James' comments regarding how "important" he is to the game and the public in general. Not helping his case.

Damn Valentines Day candy! Need to get some new uniform pants soon so went to uniform store in Dallas to try them on. Needed to check the size so we can order them on-line. To be more comfortable I will need to get 36's instead of the 34's I've worn for over 7.5 years. Can still get into the 34's but pockets are pulled like they are too tight and the crotch was putting Mr. Happy in a major bind. 36's will be baggy in waist but gives Mr. Happy plenty of space. Not wanting to go up but ones I have now are getting thread bare. Despite size debate nice to replace them because of wear and tear and not because of out growing them!
Have a Great Week!!
