Today I begin my pre-op diet, which is to be primarily carb and sugar free, and substituting a high protein shake for two meals. The hardest part is definitely going to be not grazing. I'm a snacker, so I keep looking around for a snack but I purposefully didn't bring any. I know this will get a lot easier once I get all the sugars out of my system, but it's definitely going to be a challenge.
I talked about my surgery with my dad last night and was pleasantly surprised with how interested and supportive he was about it! He was asking all sorts of questions and kept professing how proud he was of me for making such a bold move to get my health back in control and how happy he was for me, knowing that I was going to feel like a whole new person six months from now. He knew Bariatrics wasn't the easy way out but talked about how much faith he had in me. I definitely didn't expect it, but was happy to have the encouragement the night before my pre-op diet started.
So, today will be interesting. HW is 254.4. CW is 251.8. I'll probably be ravenous by dinner time, but oh will I be happy to see that broccoli!
