As the saying goes eat, drink and be merry so with this being Thanksgiving Day I think I will drink a spot of chicken broth and have a wonderful protein shake and be merry because Monday is approaching fast and it cannot get here quick enough for me. Yes Monday is the big day and that is less than 4 days away (3 days 20 hours) the anticipation is growing within. I am looking so forward to being healthy. People are starting to ask if I have a goal weight and to be honest I have not even thought about the ideal weight I want to be. I just want to be healthy and get off oxygen and the CPAP machine at night. I was on the verge of being a diabetic and other health problems were creeping up on me. So as far as the ideal weight who knows what that might be and I will cross that bridge at another time.
The doctor wanted me to lose 20 to 40 pounds before surgery and this morning I was down 34 pounds. I have 6 pounds to go by Monday. I have been losing about a pound or two a day since I have been on the Bariatric Advantage protein shakes from the doctor.
I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving Day!
