My last days of food worship

My 10 day liquid diet begins Sunday, sooooooooooooo......today I'm having pizza, and Red Lobster. Tomorrow a big juicy steak. I am really disgusted by how much I love to eat!!!!!! I am dreading the liquid diet but I am also excited about being able to quit thinking about what I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat after that.......I'm not sure what I will occupy my mind with but anything will be a change from food!!!!! The overeating is exactly how I start every new diet. This feels different, though. I'm not sure how, but it just does. I have never been looking forward to a lifestyle change, eating habit changes, exercising (ok, honestly, I'm really not looking forward to exercising), but it feels RIGHT this time. It feels like this is the right tool for me at the right time. I'm scared, second-guessing, anxious, all the negative things that I think surely are normal. But I am also so READY to rid myself of these life-limiting pounds and pounds and pounds. I want to be active. I want to say goodbye to the aches and pains, the exhaustion, the emotional drag of looking in the mirror and hating myself. I truly believe, when all is said and done, I AM READY!!

Wow! I only had to go on a liquid diet 1 day prior to op. and it was way tougher than the tiny bit than I am eating now. I am 3 days post op and I am going to go to a July park picnic BBQ in a few... But I don't really crave the food that much, maybe I am too new. I think I am losing some but I don't have a scale yet. My stomach is still bloated from the air inside from surgury(I hope) But I am eating less that a newborn. Don't be scared... but bring a barf bag on your way home from hospital, you might feel nausious. good luck!

Thanks for the barf bag tip. Hadn't thought of that one LOL Have a great 4th!
