I've signed my contract with Weight Loss Forever, and will be starting my four week pre-operative diet on August 9th!
To help myself get more mentally prepared for the liquid diet more than anything, I have started for this week, doing basically, a 'slim fast' type of plan. I have a protein meal replacement shake for breakfast and one for lunch then have a sensible dinner. I am doing this just as a way of easing myself into my new life for the next four weeks prior to surgery! This isn't something that WLF has recommended I do, but it is working for me. :)
Day two of my reduced calorie intake and I'm feeling pretty good. I have a bit of a headache today, but that's probably due to the lack of sugar I've put into my body. I have gone through this once before when I had joined weight watchers our group leader suggested to me, to avoid 'white' foods, like bread, pasta, and anything that had white sugar in it. It helped me to have some albeit minimal success with them, and at the time for the first few days I felt about the same as I do now, so I know the headache will clear up! :)
Next post I will have my before picture up as well as my starting measurements, as scary as they are to me, I know that they will be changing really soon and the numbers will grow smaller and smaller.
I have also decided that I will do a video journal posted on youtube and will post the links when I have them up.
That's it for now!
