Well, I haven't heard from the insurance company yet so this is really a good faith pre-op diet! lol. Oh, well. My doc said that I can eat one meal per day. Today I'm going to do lunch. I had the Atkins shake for breakfast, Lunch will be a peanut butter sandwhich on double fiber bread, a bananna and a greek yogurt. I want to eat a large lunch but still be healthy. I'm not going to force it down though, and I will eat for the 30 minutes. And then dinner is the shake. Yumm-oh! :P
And, my co-worker needs me to go to Publix today and pick up some ice for the office! So I need to go to the grocery store on the first day of liquids? Sure, why not!!
But enough griping. I forget who did this first, but I want to make a list of what I am thankful for today! I've bitched enough this last week!!
- I'm thankful for my kids. They drive me crazy but I wouldn't be the same without them. They are healthy and I thank god for that.
- I'm thankful for my husband. We have not always had the easiest of times, and although there have been times that I wondered if we would make I could not deny how much I was in love with him. Even after 10 years, my heart still skips a beat when he kisses me.
- I'm thankful that I have a job with insurance that is allowing me the opportunity for this surgery. I know I'm frustrated right now, but I am lucky.
- I'm thankful for these blogger buddies! I never thought that this blog would be such a source of comfort, hope and inspiration.
These are just a few, I hate to be mushy for too long!! And I'm sure I will be back to bitching in no time!
Jenny - One of the things that Catherine recommended and I did was a pros and cons list before surgery. That and take your measurements. Not sure if you've done either yet, but the pro/con list is really great to go back to everyonce in a while to see how far we've come!! Go Day One!!
ReplyDeleteYour list is lovely! I hope you have news soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Good luck on the pre-op diet. One day at a time is the best you can do. I hope your insurance comes through soon!
