We got all moved in, and mostly unpacked. I see a weekend of painting in my near future! :)
Funny story.. so my man was unpacking some clothes, and he headed to the kitchen. He said, "Honey, I am making you dinner tonight." I was excited, so I went into the kitchen to find this....
Not my CHINCHILLA!!! Poor Inca. Don't cook her.
Don't worry, no animals were harmed in the making of our home! :) This man truly makes me laugh all the time!
So I saw my surgeon last week. They gave me my prescription, took my "before" pic, made me sign my life away, and my pre/post op diet instructions. It was very interesting to read what they want me to do. All this time I was preparing for a 2 week liquid diet, when in fact, they want me to eat low/no carb, low fat, diet. SOLID FOOD. They did say that if I am vegetarian or cannot follow the diet, to go on the liquid diet. Very interesting to me. I think the best plan of action is to prepare all meals in advance so I don't screw up. I start next Monday!!!!
I love my nurses and doctor by the way. They were just so excited for me and told me I had the right attitude to rock this. I sure hope so!
My surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet. I think I could have handled low carb/fat diet, but I for sure could not handle a liquid diet for very long. Good luck with it!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to loose 4 lbs in the 2 weeks before surgery and the said that could be a liquid diet or through a low calorie diet. Every surgeon is different.
ReplyDeleteLol @ the photo. Awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteMy preop was strict low carb. No "white" (rice, bread, pasta, potatos etc.) So I did a strict Atkins diet and had no issues. Lost 20 pounds in the month preop.
I was too afraid to cheat. lol. Didn't want to get closed up without a band!
I was thinking of doing the Atkins thing (Again) in order to get some recipes. I am a horrible meal planner. I figure I will just spend this weekend prepping everything so I don't have a choice. :)
