Scale Whore

I know it's been a while since I've written and some of y'all are dying. I won't mention any names but you know who you are! Haha. Let's just say working plus eating a full liquid diet equals extreme exhaustion. Working was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be...cravings wise. Yes, I did suck on Gardetto's Rye Chips but I had the will power not to swallow them lol. Sad what you will do just to get the taste of food. I threatened to lick ranch off of Ranch Fries and wasn't joking. Al's makes some awesome Ranch Fries if you're every in Birmingham. I almost attacked a friend of my brother's who brought McDonald's fries over while they were swimming. When I first met Eric it was a joke between us, that I was a McD's fry whore...just get me some fries and I'll do ANYTHING he wanted. Well...let's just say I got the fries and he was disappointed a lot of times...haha. Needless to say, it's been a hard week, but I'm very proud of myself, that I've only swallowed liquid and everyone has survived...so far.


If you ever need to lose weight in a week or so, just go on a full liquid diet. It's amazing how crappy it makes you feel, but hey, I've lost 14lbs since August 4th. Really, I don't recommend it, it's not fun. I've become what some would call a Scale Whore. I live and breath to get on my scale in the mornings. Sounds unhealthy in a way, I know but I'm actually OK if I haven't lost. Yes, I think "Really??? I've been eating nothing for what??" But then I'm ok. It's not going to come off immediately and it's going to be a roller coaster. I know this, but I'm glad to announce my membership to the official Scale Whore Club.


I went for my pre-op appointment at the hospital on Monday. They asked a bunch of questions, did an EKG, drew some blood and gave me a pretty new red bracelet that I have to wear all week. FUN! That's the joy of having your surgery at a small hospital in a small town. You would think they would be able to pull up my Type and Screen, just in case I need blood, without scanning my arm band. God love them. They told me I have to be in Same Day Surgery at 530am on Friday and surgery is schedule for 930 or 940am, I can't remember which. I'm nervous but not about the procedure or afterwards, I'm scared to be put to sleep. I will again rely on John Mayer to calm my nerves prior to surgery....I love that man. Well I think I've rambled enough. Till the next one!
