Before Pics
I'll post the before Pics tonite. (Yes, of course I took them in my bathing suit. That's when I look the worst!)
Now I get it
I used to wonder why it was so hard for people to keep current on their blog. Now I know. Life gets in the way!
Last Tuesday, Crystal from Dr. G's office called and said I'd been approved. I went for my nutrition class to go over the pre-op diet on Wednesday and on Thursday did my pre-op surgical visit with Dr. G. Also had several days of "last suppers". Wednesday was German at Ingrid's (I ate cookies too!), Thursday Mexican at San Marcos and Friday nite was Belle Isle and I had the ribs.
Started my 10 day "liquid" diet on Saturday morning. I weighed 263. It really wasn't that bad over the weekend. I went to the store and stocked up on yogurt, cottage cheese, crystal light and it's clones, and tomato soup. I bought a couple of canisters of protein whey stuff at the hospital pharmacy where it's much cheaper than ordering online. I'm using Unjury. It's not bad.
Monday, yesterday, I went to the hospital and pre-registered and did the pre-op lab stuff. This involved taking more of my blood, a nasal swab to make sure i'm not a MRSA strep carrier. Since they did a pregnancy test before I had my gallbladder out, I'm guessing that's why none was done this time. Which is really ok since I'm still NOT pregnant!
That brings us to today. I quit taking my glimeperide (one of my diabetic medicines) yesterday since I've cut back, way back, on my carb intake. My blood sugar this morning was 111, down from the 140s where I've been the past several weeks. My weight is down to 257.5 after 4 days.
So to put the weight part in perspective... when I started this I weighed 273 on 2/2/10. I'm already down to 257.5. I'd like to be around 200 by Christmas but we'll see how it goes. If not, it's ok.
I'll update again next Monday. My surgery is next Tuesday, 4/20, at 815 am.
