First Week Pre-op Complete

Currently the scale at home does not like me... It errors out when I try to weigh myself.  I comfort myself by saying, "not for long!!" 

So to find out if/how well the first week of pre-op has gone, I had to go to my doctor's office to get weighed.  I stopped by Monday morning after work and got it over with. 

These 2 numbers were magic to my nerves.  13 pounds.  I have lost 13 pounds the first week of pre-op!  WOW!! 

I don't expect it to be that much for the second week, but that number alone gives me encouragement to stay the course when things are getting rough.  So far, I have not had any major temptation.  There has been some, thankfully not during times when I could do anything about it. 

I have been craving healthy food,  eggs, ham sandwiches... steamed veggies.  Ok... Chick-fil-a was in my brain the other day. I know, not healthy  in the slightest, but so YUMMY! 

Tonight will be a test.  My team at work is receiving pizza for a job well done this week... during our team meeting.  So, I have decided to have a protein drink prepared and take it in with me... also steer clear of the pizza table.  Right now, I really want to chew on something. 

Hmmm.  Maybe a sugar-free popcycle will do the trick. 

Sorry for the short entry, but that's all I have for now. 
I am currently less than 6 days from Surgery.  Yes, I'm getting a little bit nervous.
