Honesty

I had an appointment with my Surgeon yesterday. This ended in bad news which later turned out to not be so bad.

Basically my surgery has been delayed for 2 weeks extra. I've gone up in weight to 159.7 so they can't go ahead with it until I do a few weeks of a shake diet so my liver is smaller. I know that's not a massive deal, but it was a big enough deal for me to have a bit of a cry. I've been living it up a bit...so I know why I've put in a bit of weight... "Last Supper" so to speak.. but I didn't expect the delay. Bummer..

I was told the wrong information in regards to a pre-op diet. I was told that I needed to go on a shake diet for a week before my surgery. Turns out it has to be about 2 - 3 weeks! So they couldnt keep me booked in for the 5th have have now rescheduled to the 19th.

I started my pre-op shake fest today and I tell you now I'm HATING it. It's 1pm, people have been heating up their lunches, and OMG it smells so so good and all I have is a stinking shake!

It's going to be so hard, but it's only 3 weeks, then I get the band and it will be easier from there.

On a positive note - I've almost gone through 1.5 litres of water and its only early afternoon. Only another 500 or so mils to go :)

*tummy grumbles*

Last weekend was a long weekend and we went down to see Aaron's Dad in Albany.. we had dinner out a few times and partied it up a bit because of the AFL grand final. Wouldn't have been able to do that if I was on a pre-op diet, now would I?

So that's my positive out of the negative.

I need to do more of this kind of thinking in the future... Get a positive out of a negative and it won't seem so bad!
