Day 1 pre-op

Today started out a bit bad. I wanted to wake up and walk for 30 minutes but that did not happen! I could not get out of bed! I had my first shake for breakfast which was not too band and I added a bit of it to my decaff coffee. I went to work and as I got there I realized that I freaking forgot to bring my lunch box with all of my optifasts in it! Thank God for my wonderful father who brought them up to me! I would of starved! Because as per the "Golden Rules" Eating is not an option! I got through the day pretty well. I was less hungry than I thought I would be. It was an awful day at work though there was a ton of cookies, candy, brownies, and cup cakes around! Ha I even had to carry some down to a friend of mines car! I did however go walk for about 15 minutes during lunch. After this post I am going to walk fo 15 more to get a full 30 min for the day.

The only sideffects I have felt was ummm diarahha....yeah twice! Also I have a headache but I think that is from the lack of caffee. I had a bit of broth as for per the doctors advice if i had a headache. Still have a headache though. My dad took some before pictures of me today and oh yeah I do weigh about as much as I thought 261.2! Omg I look like such a whale in my pics its definatly not at all how I feel! But just think they will be the last pictures taken of me at this horrible weight! In one year I could be down to 145. I just can't wait to take some more pictures in a month and see the difference that will be really exciting I will post them for all to see.


I just can't wait to be able to fit in chairs and not feel like the largest person in the room!

Well i'm going out for a 15 min walk for now and than early to bed for me!

Pre Day One

So tomorrow is my first day of my pre-op diet...I am feeling prepared, scared, nervous, and excited and a million other emotions and I'm not even banded yet! I can't believe this is actually going to happen. It has only been a dream for the last 2 years and now I'm only a few weeks away. I will be banded on December 18, 2008. After going back and forth on the idea it's actually going to happen! My dream of being thin is going to actually come true. Ah I have so many things to say I just don't know where to start.

I had my "last meal" Which was so unhealthy. Three pieces of pizza with meat balls, and pepperoni, pepsi, vanilla cake with chocolate icing, and vanilla ice cream. Not to bad for my last meal. HA but I have been eating every meal like it is my last! I'm sure I've gained more weight since the last time I weighed myself. Tommorow morning I will find out and probably be shocked. I'm guessing 260. Ha last year at this time I was 225....I would kill to be that weight. Soon hopefully.

I feel somewhat prepared to start my two weeks of optifast tommorow. I went shopping and got a ton of crystal light, decaf coffee, tasteless fiber to keep myself regular, food flavorings to keep things interesting, SF gum to keep my breath fresh, and sippy cups that are perfect size to put the optifast in to keep it under the radar from people at work. I prepared everything and I tried a tiny tast of vanilla and strawberry optifast....uhh....two weeks of this! Lol it's not to bad just more watery than I thought it would be.

I'm just so excited I need to take before pictures. Just to think this time next year I will be hopefully 115 pounds lighter! If I follow the "golden rules" Which are the rules set by my doctor that I am supposed to follow the rest of my life. I put them in a notebook to keep them safe even though the paper is already crinkled from me constantly reading over and over it. Some one needs to publish some kind of book on this. Maybe me!

I am also going to start walking tomorrow for 30 minuetes. And I need to go to bed so I can be ready for this crazy adventure I am about to start!
