I have been doing the Pre Op Diet for a week now .

I have been totally starving... Grumpy.... It is like I NEED Suger and Bread so bad that I am dreaming of going to IHOP for pancakes with straberries and whipped cream or to the Red Lobster for the cheese biscuits. Lori who answers the OCC phone calls said I can eat lots of salad during this time so now I am filling bowls to the top with veggies. Huge mixing bowls with mushrooms,tomato, leattuce, carrots, green beans, cucumbers etc. I found some 0 calorie salad dressings that I am using on the salads. Since adding the salads I have gained 2 pounds. Maybe I just need to go back to the two protein shakes and one low calorie dinner again. Being a bulk eater you give me permission to eat something and I will .

Also, I made a HUGE mistake last night running into the store for some Lean Cusine meals with my 12 year old daughter. She always talks me into buying junk for her to eat. I let her get some sugar cookies and chocolate donuts because I did not want to make her think she was on a diet too. She is a gymnast and she is all muscle.. Why knows why but those cookies were calling my name after she went to bed. I kept telling myself that it was OK to eat them since I was going to get a Lap Band soon so eating a few cookies wouldn't matter. Well it did matter... I stepped on the scale this morning an gained another pound... YIKES.... I am going the wrong way on the scale. Oh well today is another day. I have been told that Success is a Journey not a Destination and I believe it. I am praying for sucess on this Journey...
