1 week after surgery
Jul 12, 2009
I feel pretty good. My surgery was the 6th...last monday. I am home, no complications. Just tired and sore. I also had a hernia repaired so I dont know it that makes a difference or not.
I am not hungry. That is wonderful. I have to make myself eat. Still shakes and jello, but thats ok. Never thought I would like Jello as much as I do.
Cant wait for the sorness to go away. Then I can start enjoying myself. I go for walks b ut I am like a little old lady walking around the neighborhood.

Less than a week away is my surgery

I have been on my liquid diet for over a week now. I am amazed at how much free time I have. I am not cookin or eating. I have lots of free time!
And with that realization I also realized that I ate alot just to fill up the time. To cover up my feelings too. It was like a ritual, Everyday I would come home from work at 9 and then find something to eat and sit in front of the tv. ANd I would eat all night. Just fillo my face. Thats when I wasnt dieting.
The good thing with the liquid diet is I m not obsessing over food. On regualr diets, i do that.
SO, now i have to learn to deal with my feelings. ANd there are so many of them. SHeesh!

Day 5 of Liquid Diet
Jun 27, 2009
Doing a lot better than I thought I would, however I feel tired and fatigued. I don't know if I am supposed to or not but I end up taking two Excedrins because I get a headache. THen I feel better but Excedrin has caffeine in it, so that i probably why. AM I supposed to not have caffeine?
I guess I have to reread my information packet for the upteenth time.
Even though it has only been 5 days, I feel like it has been longer. I no longer crave food and it feels like my clothes are big on me. Crazy. Nobody loses that much weight in 5 days..my mind is playing with me.
I am even able to work with food and not want it. That is something different for me. Made breakfast for clients, no problems. Went to Macdonalds with them and smelled the fry odor and survived ok.
My big thing is I want to go to the Movies but I ALWAYS have popcorn while I am at the movies. Sinfully guilty pleasure. So, I am staying away from the movies until I know I have no choice not to have it. (After the operation). There are some things I have no will power against. Now that my arteries are cleaned out, the last thing I need to do is clog them up with fat from the butter! I am my worst enemy. I tell my self, "Hey. You will never be able to eat and enjoy a bucket of buttery movie popcorn again. Go for it!!!" Makes sense to me. So....I stay away.
Drink another shake.

Day 3 of Liquid diet
Jun 24, 2009
Once i got over the I'm hungry factor from day one, I really am fine now. Not really hungry.
Kinda pissed off at certian things in my life and I wonder if being on this diet makes me more cranky? DOesnt really matter.
I hada shake that was chicken soup flavored. DISGUSTING!
DOnt ever try it.
I hope when all is done, and i am past hte surgery, I will have tackeled certain demons that bug me. THe trust factor. THe whole relationship factor is scary to me. I have used my weight to keep people away. ONce my weight is decent, will I have the inner strength to see thru the bullshit?

Day 1 of the 2 week liquid diet
Jun 22, 2009
Well. I would like to say it was SO easy, because i have done liquid diets before, and it really is no big deal.
I did good until I came home from work tonite, I walked in my kitchen and there, laying in a styrofoam container were 6 peices of fried calamari. I hadnt had that in such a long time and it never made it to my list of Foods to Eat One Last Time Because Who Knows When You Can Eat THem Again? So, before I knew what had happened, something over came me and I ate them. I forgot all about the liquid diet!!!! Totally erased it from my memory for 3 minutes. Really.
Once I realized what I had done, I was bummed that I didn't even make it thru the day, my FIRST day, on the diet.
*sigh*
THis is going to be a long two weeks. And, I am hungry.

I have a date..
Jun 19, 2009
July 6, to be official. It's kinda scary but am looking forward to it in a postive way.
Next week, june 22, I start my liquid diet. I am already dreading it. Not that I havent done liquid diets before, but its hard. I usually dont last past the one week mark so I think week number 2 on the diet is going to be tough. Having said that, I am going to be totally postive and psych myself into how much I am going to love those liquid shakes! LOL.
Seriously though, I do SO much better around food when I dont have to prepare it and stuff. Drinking the shakes is just fueling my body.
And knowing that the food stops next week doesn't help in the present. I ate at Red Loster last night..like a last supper. TOday I had corn on the cob with lots of butter. What else can I eat that I will miss? AM I crazy or what?
