1 Week To Go.....

Well I'm into week 2 of the pre-op diet and although I don't have any scales I know I've lost weight because my jeans have been falling down all weekend ha ha. I've just ironed my work trousers and wonder if I should be swapping them for the smaller size I have hanging in the wardrobe. It's a funny thing this weightloss thing isn't it. I've got 2 bags full of summer clothes, linen trousers, tops, crop jeans etc that are ready for the charity shop as I know they're not going to fit me next summer. Isn't that a wonderful thing, to be absolutely sure that I wont grow back into them again.

1 week to go and although at times I feel as if I could burst into tears (might do me good actually) I don't feel too bad nerves wise. I do keep getting palpitations and I'm not quite sure why but I'm sure it has more to do with lack of food than my heart. This is my last week at work then I have 3 weeks off to recover. Quite looking forward to the 3 weeks off. Looking forward to buying new clothes even more lol.

9 Days To Go.....

I've changed to the yogurts and milk diet. I don't know, I just don't trust the soup and yogurt one. I'm so worried I'll wake up not done because my livers still too large. I know it's stupid, but I can't see how it's working cause it's too easy, tasty and I'm not feeling too hungry.

Todays been ok, I still have about 3/4 of a pint of milk to drink this evening and a yogurt which I will have with some sugar free jelly later for supper followed by a milky coffee. It's less calories than the soup/yog or all milk diet which is strange. Anyway, I sort of feel better for doing it. Don't know if I've lost any weight as I don't posess a scales ha ha. Will find out when they weigh me on the 7th I guess.

We went out for dinner to Wetherspoons in Wallington last night and Tim had fish and chips, peas and bread and butter and I gave them a tin of soup and asked them if they'd mind heating it up for me and you know what, they did. 5 stars go to Wetherspoons. I ate my yogurt for pudding too. Ha ha. Ikea was a doddle as they have microwaves around the seating area for heating up baby food so I had my late afternoon soup along side my free cuppa.

Well a bit of a roller coaster ride for the last month. Only yesterday on the first day of my pre-op diet did I get the phone call saying that the cardiac consultant had okayed me for the op. And only then because I rang and badgered them.

Anyway, I'm on the second day of the pre-op diet and although I have it pretty good, 4 weight watchers tins of soup and 4 muller lite yogurts a day I'm already pretty sick of soup. Don't mind the yogurts. Some people only get to drink 5 pints of milk a day so I shouldn't complain. I've had yogurt for breakfast, soup mid morning, soup and yogurt for lunch, soup at 4pm will have soup and yog for dinner then yogurt and sugar free jelly for supper. Oh yes I can have a pint of sugar free jelly each day too and a bovril drink. Don't think I'll be bothering with the bovril.

So here I go. I'm still worried but speaking to all the other people who have already been through the op I know that I wont regret it. People only ever regret not doing it earlier.

On a work note, It was our harvest festival a couple of weeks ago so we made a harvest wheat sheaf for the church service. It looked fab when it was glazed and cooked.
