Three days to go.............and I think I may have had a mini food panic attack over the weekend. I was in Orlando with Abby from Wednesday until Monday late afternoon for a dance competition. Not the greatest thing to do when I am only supposed to be consuming 800 calories a day! I ended up eating several meals just so I could function, and honestly I ate several meals because I was panicking about my surgery! I am back on track, and have lost about 8 pounds, so I'm not worried, but I am still hungry! It was kind of like starting over again on Tuesday.
My emotions are definitely running the entire spectrum right now - I'm crying at the drop of a hat, biting peoples heads off (namely my family - sorry!), and can be overcome with joy for no reason! I'm so stinking excited about the prospect of what my life will be like a year from now, that I can hardly stand it! I'm also ready for Monday to be here, and I'm scared to death about the food thing right after surgery. The thought of blended meat makes me want to hurl, and I'm worried I won't know the right things to eat. I think I'm just worried I'm going to fail. Luckily my Mom, and Geoff will be here for the first week, so they can help me. I will be by myself at home the 2nd week, because my Mom goes home, and Geoff is taking the girls to Tampa to be with his family for our annual week in Tampa with them. I do have a lot of wonderful friends in town that I'm sure will take care of me, hint, hint! :)
Oh yeah, Geoff asked me this morning how much I thought I had lost so far on this Optifast diet, and after I told him I asked him why, and he said that he has been trying to cut back just so he isn't eating in front of me, and he has lost 5 pounds! MEN! I mean is the childbirth not enough of a slap in the face, but God also makes it easy for them to lose weight! Every time he and I diet together he loses 10 pounds just looking at the diet books! Argh! Oh well - if it makes him healthier it is all good, right?!?!
I'm off to bathe my girls now - I will post again on Sunday with my "before" picture.
