I'm having a rough day today. I think the closer the surgery gets, the more real it becomes and the more stressed out I am. I had lots of well wishes from the girls at work and that was nice. But I'm feeling kind of quiet and out of sorts today. No workout today. There wasn't time and I don't feel like improvising at home.
Food is variable too. So hard to care about diet right now. I think we're going to go out for dinner because I am in dire need of a cocktail.
Yeah, from what I understand, this is pretty normal. I also expect to have some depression post-op as that's pretty common as well (not to mention that I often get depressed when I'm sick/immobile anyway).
And it's not totally ignorant to suggest not worrying about eating well. :) I'd pretty much planned to do that anyway. I'm going to try not to go overboard but if I do, I do and I'm not going to worry about it. It won't matter for the surgery. Even if I lived on McDonald's for the next three days, I'm a healthy person and what I eat this weekend isn't going to affect what happens on Monday.
Yep, surgery's Monday and I'll get to come home on Tuesday. I have no clue how I'll feel but you can bet I'll get online as soon as humanly possible. I have quite a few folks that are going to want updates and such. I'll let you all know that I'm okay as soon as I possibly can.
Well, realistically, how much weight - and I mean REAL weight - could you put on in a couple of weeks? I mean, we all have our bingey-piggy days but I don't think any of us could or would sustain it for a couple of weeks. I think our bodies would revolt.
But, in all honesty, the thought crossed my mind that if I did happen to gain some weight, it could just be "taken" out anyway. Although, rational thought reminds me that I doubt I could actually gain fat-weight over the weekend. I'm going to try not to stress about it... not because it could be zapped away on Monday but because it's a little obssessive and I'm trying not to be that way. And, I'm trying to concentrate on relaxing myself first and foremost.
I did 30 min on the eliptical and bis and tris this morning. I went to tkd tonight. I got in the pool with the kids today, and that really helped my feet feel better, but now they hurt again.
If cookie cake is what I'm thinking of, it's basically a giant cookie, sometimes with frosting piped on top for decoration. Cookie places, like at the mall, usually have sell them- basically, it's like taking a round cookie sheet and covering the entire thing with cookie dough, so you have one giant round cookie. They can be any shape, of course.

You've been so good about eating well lately, too.
