10-13-12 (Weekend before Surgery)

I have my surgery on Monday and I am sooooooo excited!! We are getting ready to go to the grocery store to make sure I have everything I need for the next 30 days of my liquid diet. I have plenty of protein shakes, but I also can have strained  low fat cream soup, Greek yogurt as long as it doesn't have chunks of fruit, sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast,sugar free Popsicles...don't be jealous now!

We are planning a steak and shrimp dinner tonight on the grill..maybe some veggies but probably not many for me.

Vic set up the treadmill again and has been using it the last few days. I have stayed to my walking the dogs plan but didn't go yesterday..maybe I'll go twice today! I don't do as well on the treadmill because I get bored...I tried to face it to the TV so I could watch a show while I walk but even then I didn't last very long. that was then, this is now..I will get back on track!!

I plan on staying home all next week, I think it's required by my doctor too. It's tough on me with what to tell clients. We have some property owners in town that wanted to have us over for a BBQ. And a friends sister from high school in town that wanted to do lunch. I've told them I'm having surgery but not what kind. For the most part I think I can get away with that but if someone asks me what kind I'm going to have to tell them I guess. They both said "nothing serious I hope" and I just said..oh  no it's elective surgery. Vic thinks that sounds like I'm getting a face lift or new boobs or something..oh HELL NO I'd tell everyone if I were getting new boobs! lol   J/K I think down the road after the weight loss I'd like a tummy tuck and a lift for these old saggy things thou. Nice visual , I know.

Ok time to hit the road and do our weekend shopping and chores. Have a blessed day!

    So excited for you!! You have to do a liquid diet for 30 days??? Wow. I would have never made it. My doctor wanted me eating a regular diet after about a week, which was fine with me :)

      Yeah he wants to make sure it's scarred in real well so no change of slipping.

    I'm with you on the treadmill. I would rather go out walking. Do you have an iPod or music on your phone to listen to? That helps me a lot! Also, there is an app on your phone called Edmondo that tracks your mileage, speed and tells you how many calories you have burned. it also helps me because I like seeing my results right then and the next time I walk, I can try to match it or challenge myself to do more. As for what to tell people, just say it is a personal matter, that will usually keep most people from asking any further questions.

    Do you have an iPod or music on your phone to listen to when walking? I'm not a fan of the treadmill either but listening to music helps and I don't walk outdoors without it. There is also an app on your phone called Edmondo. check it out, I love it for walking, it tracks your distance, speed and calories burned. As far as what to tell people, tell them it is a personal matter and that usually keeps people from asking any other questions.
