I'm feeling better today although I still didn't get up early. I cooked some chicken breast and had that for lunch. Hung up clothes and threw more in. I'm trying to get in order for next week but I'm struggling. I didn't get in the pool. I'm feeling sort of guilty about that. At one point I did put my suit on. Then I looked outside at all the clouds. Took suit off. Later, hit with tummy problems so maybe it was just as well.
I found some great stuff on LBT today. Read some NSVs...those really make me wish I was further along but I know it'll come someday. I'm still losing weight even though my pre-op doesn't start until Sat. I'm a bit worried about the b'day party. I like cake! And the chocolate fountain will be hard to pass up. I'll just have to wait and see how it goes. I think I'll be okay though. I really don't want to have a fat liver!!
I also have looked at the paperwork from the surgeon's office and what I got from the nutritionist at the hospital. The main difference is with the protein drinks and skim milk. Dr. says skim milk is fine on clears. Nut says no. I think I trust my doc more. This was the hospital nut, not the one from the weight loss program. I'm sure I'll find out more on 8/27...the big day. I actually think I'm getting excited. The party is helping take my mind off the surgery part. I'm still a bit nervous but since I've had back surgery, I know what to expect.
Holy crap though! There was a thread on LBT about "going commando" into the OR. Well, that didn't surprise me...been there...done that. What did surprise me was that my legs will be up and the surgeon will be standing between them. Excuse me? It was a great thread though :) - very funny and kind of took the edge off. Some of the women were quite taken aback. I guess you just have to read the thread and meet "Jim Bob and the Twins"...then you'll get it :)
Well, it's totally cloudy outside now. I could get on the treadmill but I think I'm just gonna give myself a break today. I really need to finish the laundry. I'm out of everything! Maybe the laundry fairy will show up. Ya never know.
I've been reading lots of blogs from fellow bandsters. They are really interesting and inspirational. I like hearing about their adventures, good and bad. I can relate to what they're talking about and see that they too have struggled. It seems like a great support tool, too. That's what I get from LBT. Support, encouragement, friends, and a sense of what others are doing, feeling, eating...how they're living with their bands. I'm glad I found that forum!
