Yesterday I started my pre-surgery diet. I knew that it was going to be hard but not this hard. I am actually feeling hunger pains in my stomach....not just the growling that you usually get. Today I started feeling really weak. My friend who is helping me in the gym has told me that now is the time to really burn the fat and to do that I have to get in the gym more. So yesterday I went to the gym during my lunch and after work. Today I only went during lunch. By the time I left work I felt so weak that I could barely go. When my friend sent me a text to ask me if I was in the gym doing my cardio, I told her no because I was just to weak. She told me to put my big girl panties on and push through it. I know she is right and I know I've got to do it so I pray that God gives me the strength that I need to get through these next 3 weeks. My meals yesterday consisted of:
Breakfast - protein shake (9:00 am)
Lunch - carrot sticks, light yogurt (4 oz.), apple (1:00 pm)
Snack - protein shake (3:30 pm)
Dinner - grilled chicken breast (3 oz), 1/2 cup green beans (7:00 pm)
Snack - sugar free Jello gelatin (8:30 pm)
Today was not much different. I do ok during the day but now at night time is when I am feeling the hunger pains. Not to mention that just about every commercial on TV revolves around food. I know that in the end this will all be worth it but right now it is extremely hard. I have had thoughts today about just eating what I wanted to because I have already lost 46 lbs. and that is way more than most people lose before surgery anyway so whats the big deal. But I know I can't do that. I have come way to far to give up now. I just ask for extra prayers during these next 3 weeks and I will keep you updated on my progress.
