Well I'm officially ready to go! I've bought all of the items necessary for pre and post op. I picked up butterfly bandages, hibiclens body soap to wash my incisions, and all of the other items that were listed on my "Items to pack" list. I'm anxiously excited and can't wait til these hunger pains are officially gone! My mom and I are leaving early tomorrow morning to head down to San Diego where the fun OFFICIALLY BEGINS!
This liquid diet has been brutal! The worst is late night hunger pains that set in between 11:00pm and midnight. I was only supposed to be on the liquid diet for 5 days prior to surgery but I decided to start 3 days earlier. My mom, who had her surgery back in January, started her pre op diet 8 days before surgery and she had zero complications. So I'm hoping by following in her footsteps I will have the same success.
As of today, Day 7 of the liquid diet, I have lost 6.6 pounds. My goal before surgery was to hopefully lose 10lbs. But I'll be happy getting as close to that number as possible. I have 2 days left, only time will tell.
My official starting weight was 262. Today I'm at 255.4. My overall GOAL weight is 135.
So.. only 120.4lbs left to lose! yay! I'm ready to start my journey as a BIG LOSER!
