2 Weeks

With only 2 weeks before my surgery I am struggling between being good in what I eat and wanting to have the foods I will not have again in a very long time after the surgery or some ever. Obviously there are many things I will be able to have in small amounts later, but things like red meat I can't have for 1 year after surgery, ice cream- i don't think ever, an onion bagel, a soda or a beer. There is nothing i can't do without mind you, but the thought just makes me think. I have chosen to do this surgery for many reasons as I have explained but when I think about would i choose an in and out hamburger or seeing my kids graduate from college or get married or the birth of my grandchildren. The choice is obvious. We start Christmas Camp this week, this will be a test of my ability to stick to the new life style. So much running around, I need to make sure I actually take time to eat and not go all day without eating. That is part of the bad habits that got me where I am. I will let you know how I do. If anyone has any questions about the surgery, my decision or anything related to this topic let me know and I will do Q & A post. Merry Christmas.
