Scratch that, let's make it September 30th

Yep that's right they changed the date on me :( Boo!! I guess the normal scheduler was off on the day of my appointment so they booked me a day my surgeon was open but not the operating room, yeah bummer. So its pushed back a full 2 weeks. Now I am going to be completely honest to keep myself accountable, I fully had a pity party Emily weekend lol Now they had told me because I have so much weight to lose that it would be a good idea to start that preop diet now so that would mean a whole month instead of 2 weeks! Yeah I cried for at least 20 minutes, I was heart broken. It was like the amount of self pep talking I had done and was on day 3 of the preop diet, just like shook my whole world. Sounds silly writing about it now but its how I felt in the moment. So I let myself enjoy a few treats this weekend savoring that it may be the last time I eat certain foods, still kind of surreal to be completely honest. But I am back on it today I am convinced I am singly handedly supporting shamrock farms with the amount of rocking refuels I have been drinking lol I did get the go ahead from my nutritionist that I can have mustard so I have been doing a lot of turkey lunchmeat and mustard. Breakfast if I have time has been scrambled egg whites with turkey lunchmeat salt and pepper. Chicken breast, chicken breast, and more chicken brest for dinners lol I plan on meal prepping tonight and doing different seasonings for chicken so I can grab a bag heat it up and not have to fuss. So just an update surgery is Sept 30th 8am check in at 6. Still a Tuesday so my hubby will be with me and I only had to take 4 days off work. I did put on a few pounds from this weekends pity party theme but I am back at it full force today going to stick to the diet and hit the gym, will be excited to see what I can accomplish! Thanks for reading all!
