Betty69's Journal, 12 June 2012

Today, I started on my 2 week Pre-surgery diet in preparation for my gastric bypass (Roux en Y) surgery. I slept 8 hours straight after having gone to bed at 3:00 AM. It felt really good to sleep through the night. I used my CPAP machine, and it seems to be helping me get better sleep. Today, I have done very good.
I awoke about 11:30 AM, got dressed about noon and finally chose to drink an Atkins Vanilla Protein shake for breakfast/lunch. Then, this afternoon about 5:30 PM Suzanne and I went to Arby's and I got a chicken salad with Balsamic Vinegrette for my dinner. So far, I have consumed 32 oz. of water &/or Crystal Light Lemonade and I am trying to get in 80 oz. total today. So far, I am not hungry and am feeling good about my choices today. After I took a taste of the salad with the vinegrette on it, I checked the package only to find out that it did contain some sugar and that the sodium content was REALLY elevated. Next time, I will choose to not get the vinegrette and just eat the salad plain, which I also like. I drank Sugar Free Lemonade with it. I am going to try to go to bed much earlier tonight and get up much earlier tomorrow morning.
