Old Habits Die Hard.
Oct 20, 2009
I have to say since I have started this journey' I have lost 16 pounds' which converts to about 7.25 kilograms' through a lot more discipline ' I could have shed more Pre -OP. Although I am happy with since my op' I was very active pre-op and yesterday I walked and really didn't stop moving till about 2pm with house work and gardening.
I was also very active today and intend to continue this. My frustrations are that I'm not hungry at all before 1pm and by the time 1pm comes i get quite ravenous' I can only drink 20mils every half hour' and I'm also drinking 2litres of water per day as I have always been a big water drinker. I have also tried other foods too' (I'm mad at myself) so I've chewed it and spat it out every time' because I want to taste it. I just miss texture in my mouth at the moment. I've been eating alitte yogurt. and drinking sometimes V8 and prune juice for obvious reasons.
But mostly its been Optifast ' water and some yogurt on the whole' I chew and spit out. I suppose this was the reason I began this journey' I'm addicted to food and I guess I get alittle depressed at night when the kids go to sleep and I've done everything I need to do for the day' that's when I also look for food as this was the time of the day that food was my friend my company my comfort. Making the kids lunches with fresh rolls was a killer last night' I could smell it and it was straight from the bakery. Bread and I we have a long history' I love all sorts of bread brown' white ' grainy' Lebanese with filling spinach and feta' I mean I love love bread. I love a good old Vegemite sandwich too.
(I'm Mediterranean) I love salty cured meats' cheeses and olives and both my children love these foods too. I think I'm mourning for food............LOL Just reading back I've laughed I sound so silly. But this is how I feel today. I'm alittle mad with me. Day 1 again for me tomorrow. My thinking reverts back and forth to good healthy thoughts and then to the bad ones for which is why I started this journey.
Hopefully by Friday i will feel better. xxxx

I have been home for 3 days the OP ran smoothly. I was up and walking about 11 hours after m
y OP' Im happy it ran well. I felt some discomfort in my chest and left shoulder and also where the port is' but it was all expected.
Ive not been hungry' and Im struggling to finish 1 Optifast shake. What I really can't wait for is to swim' its getting so hot and thats my favourite thing to do. So the treadmill will just have to do for now. But I will only start next week with exercise.

Well i started to be precise on the 1st of October with my pre-op diet. Haven't been too strict but I have kept my calorie intake very low and I'm proud i have stuck to that without binging or cheating' usually when I start adiet etc' start to get stressed that I will fail or stressed that I cant have the foods that i love anymore.
So i binge for a couple of days and then I feel like crap and loathe myself for doing that. But I have started exercise again in the pool to take the stress off my back (I have back injuries because of a car accident) and I have started to wear my pedometer.
So i feel pretty good. I walked 18000 steps today
