This is a TERRIBLE week to be on a pre-op diet!! I have failed at it terribly the past two days, to say the least. Thank God I’m still a week away. Gonna have to kick it in overdrive starting tomorrow. sigh.
I am so looking forward to my back not hurting anymore. The way my weight is distributed, after 5 pregnancies, makes my body feel like it’s still pregnant. Blah. I spent some time today just imagining my new healthy, lean body. My hubby said we can get a gym membership this winter for the family..woo hoo!! I love working out, so that is going to be great!
I think I’m going to make some grocery lists and meal plans for post op. Get prepared now, so I don’t have to put so much thought into it later.
Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!

I think it might be important for you to start meditating on the fact that you’ll still be heavy immediately post-op. It seems obvious, but I find myself falling into the trap of being so excited for the surgery, and identifying it as an “end.” but it’s not! It’s a new beginning. So your back is probably going to hurt for a while more…
I don’t know if you’re in the same boat as me, just something I was thinking about. Good luck!
