Back to Mom...
We were discussing surgery on the way home from a WLS information session that I took her to at the hospital I'm planning to have surgery at. I had thought her learning more about WLS and the reasons behind it, the risks of not having it and so on would help to calm her nerves. I also knew my surgeon would be speaking and I thought it would be nice for her to meet him - again, thinking it may help her. And, I really think her attending the session did help - if only a little.
On the drive home, she said it...."You know, I'm not going to love you any more...." WHAT? Me: "Huh??" Mom: "I mean, if you're smaller, I'm not going to love you any more than I already do." Ahh...that helps! And, as I told her, I'm not having surgery to have her love me any more (or anyone else for that matter). But, I do want to love myself more. It's about time for me to love me. All of me. I don't love myself as much as I should. And, I deserve to love all of me.
As for the Preop Progress....
Things are actually good as of Day 2. Today, I've consumed: 1 ProteinBlitz Drink, 1 G2 Drink, 1 EAS Protein Bar, 2 4oz sugar-free cherry jellos, 1 cup salad, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar dressing, 4oz chicken breast with 1 cup cooked veggies (onion, green pepper, zucchini) and 1/2 cup brown rice.
Today's intake: 1091 calories
I've also completed Day 5 on the treadmill. I did 30 minutes on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Sadly, only got 20 minutes in on Tuesday as I was running late for work. But, today...I managed to make my 30 for the day AND added on the 10 I missed yesterday. Total calories burned = 367
Not too shabby. Let's just hope I can keep it up for the next 13 days.
