1 Week to Go!
Oct 05, 2009
It's really countdown at this point! My surgery was APPROVED last Monday 
. I started my liquids today, although I believe the nutritionist made a mistake on my start date of that, I think it was suppose to have started yesterday. I am suppose to take the Optifast diet for 7 days. The fact that I am starting today would make my 7Th day fall on the day of my surgery
. I am going to have to give her a call today. The strawberry shake I had this morning was really good and the tomato garden soup was pretty good too. My only concern is wether or not I get tired of it . I also have chicken broth, chocolate and vanilla shakes, and chocolate bars for a snack. I can't have anything else other than non-calorie beverages (not bad). I have to now make preparation for my children during and a few days after the surgery. I have to also see who is going to stick around to help me out at home,too. I pray that I have a swift recovery and get back into the swing of things. I have to make sure I have all of my vitamins and whey protein shakes. I need to finish going food shopping just for me. I just went food shopping for everyone else Saturday for the whole month. I finally have my children switched to the home-school program that I like (www.K12.com )
, so I have to make sure that whom ever they stay with will continue logging them in daily. I want to buy the Bullet blender/food processor and a few other cool gadgets but I think I am going take my time with that. I am cleaning out the housefrom top to bottom (walls and base boards included), rearranging furniture , decluttering, washing every particle of clothing, storing summer clothes, pulling out fall clothes, giving small clothing (kids) to charity, making sure the children are up to date with all of their appointments, and the list goes on
.I am so grateful that I have been able to complete these things. The weight loss that I had so far must really been giving me a little boost. I can't wait to see what my energy will be like when I lose some real weight. Everything is happening so fast, but the good news is that I am keeping up with the race. Yet, the closer the day is getting the more afraid I am becoming
.......... However, I am not going to let fear stop me from moving ahead so thats the good part.
