On your marks, get set.......GO!!!!

Ok so it has been a while since I posted.

What has happened in the last month or so?

Well not a great deal, in the last month I have met with dietician and now have all the info I need for the pre-op period and inital post-op period.

Very strict diet pre-op consisting of not much more than 3 optifasts a day (whatever I like shakes, bars or soups) along with some fruit (strawberries) and a cup of vegies tonight.

Ok people, what is this diet missing? I can tell you it is missing MEAT.

So it starts today, today is, to use a great cliche, "the first day of the rest of my life" and I honestly feel that way, these next few weeks will be a struggle but I can do it armed with the knowledge that it is only a few weeks of hell.

I have cleared the calendar to take into account the next few weeks will not invole tucker or grog.

I had a good day yesterday, a last hurrah. I had a steak the size of a persons head (not really 400grams) and about 10 Coronas. I find it hard to beleive that yesterday was the last time I would be able to sit down and consume a big steak like that, suprisingly though I feel great about it and not at all disappointed.

So I had the weigh in last night, 238.6kgms which is about 5kgs more than when I started this whole journey a few months ago, so the extra 5kgs arent too bad considering I have lived the "good life" for the last few months and it includes the big steak and 10 beers from yesterday.

Moving forward I will weigh in once a week and check measurements etc once a month.

I am not in anyway feeling nervous or scared about the operation at the moment, no doubt these feelings will change as I get closer.

You will see I put one of those tickers on the site, there goes 2 hours of my life I will never get back figuring out how those bloody things work.

So here we go....bad moods, headaches and pain....the next few weeks should be fun.

Stay tuned!!!
