6 more days till surgery!

Hard to believe I'm just six days away from surgery! Still waiting for the nervousness to kick in. Over all feeling really excited.

I've had a lot of back problems over the last few years. Of course it had to go out on me one more time before surgery. It went out last Thursday so today marks a week. Feeling better today. Hopefully tomorrow it will be good enough for me to be able to sit up. As I have to work a few hrs tomorrow. And have three days of work left till surgery.

I've also made it through a week of my liquid protein diet. It wasn't to bad once I switched back to chocolate premier protein shakes. I have to drink six to meet calories but at least it doesn't taste gross. It is hard being around the smell of Nicks food. The other day he had pizza and last night he cooked a pork loin which you could smell through out the house. But after getting on the scale this morning not having either of theses foods was worth the weight lose.

I'm now about 98 pounds from my goal. This makes me curious what my low will actually end up at and just how long will it take me to get there. The nutrionist said because I've had the weight on since a child it may be hard. But only time will tell.

I'll be excited once I can start exercising again. Was really enjoying walking two miles a day though it may be awhile before I will be able to walk the dogs again as they pull me too much.
