Monday

4 days until my surgery. I'm holding steady at 11 lbs lost, which is still in the zone that they want me to be in for the surgery, but I've gained a pound since I spoke with the nutritionist. She told me to tweak my diet to maintain the 12 lbs, but I think that adding the "meal" for lunch may have been a bad idea. I should have just stayed on the 2 shakes and a lean cuisine plan. Oh well, at least I'm still on track.

I started a new BCP and boy has it messed with my hormones. Week number 4 of my period and the breakouts are really pissing me off. I thought the pill was supposed to clear up your skin, not make it worse. Just one more reason I hate the damn thing.

I'm starting to pack for my stay in the hospital and don't know if I will want to shower in the morning. I hate not showering but I dont know how I'll feel. I have to go buy some juice before hand so I'll have it for when I get home. My soups are ready to go and I have frozen fruit for when I can start "eating" smoothies (no straws for about 6 months). I did find out that a glass of red wine isn't against the rules. I just have to sip it and it can't be carbonated or with a meal. I wish this week was over with so I could get on with the next leg of my journey.


By the way, I just weighed myself and I'm back at 12 lbs. :) Drink LOTS of water!
Aidan also got weighed. He's 36 lbs. No wonder I can't carry him for long periods of time.
