Today...222lbs!!!! One more pound. That's a total of 9 lbs since I started the pre-op diet 2 weeks ago and 12 lbs. total! Wednesday, my husband said he could see that I lost weight...it was showing on my face!! What a great feeling to know that it's beginning to show!
I am now losing about 1/2 lb. a day on this pre-op diet and only 5 more days to go! Some have said to me, "Why don't you just continue with this diet and you won't need the surgery?" It's a great short term diet, but I know for me, it is not something I could do forever, nor do I feel it would be healthy. I am only taking in about 600 to 800 calories a day!
Yesterday I decided to go for a walk...I didn't know how far I could go, but ended up walking a little over a mile (without stopping)!! It felt really good to do that. Today, I think I will try out an exercise video to change the pace. I found a few on Netflix that I can play on my computer, so it's perfect if it isn't the right one, I won't have all these videos laying around that I never use! And I already told my husband what I want for Christmas.....can you guess? A Wii and Wii Fit Plus!!!
It's been dreary and rainy here on and off for the last week, so I need to keep moving so I don't get into a frumpy slump.
Make the most of each day, hug your husband and kids!
