Time flies---even when you're not having fun

OK==day 11...2 MORE DAYS.

 

i'm not hungry.

 

i stopped eating huge portions of cooked broccoli or string beans--i don't even want them anymore.

 

i can't believe how NOT HUNGRY i am. it's weird.

 

and i can go a long time on the protein shakes. it's funny how they immediately give your brain whatever it needs to get moving (not to mention your body)....and i can definitely feel when they stop--at which point, so do i. and just in time for MORE SHAKES.

 

2 in the morning, 2 at night--for lunch--vegetable soup and some raw vegetable salad. not bad.

 

i know i'm losing weight because i can BREATHE when dressed in my work outfits...that's a change. as for the scale--well...who knows. i'll find out monday, pre-surgery. i assume they have to weigh you to know how much stuff you need to be anesthetized.

 

i'm not even thinking about monday so much (except while i write this) because i'm so busy at work. i guess that's good--but at 5:00 p.m.--that's over.

 

2 more days of pre-op diet--and...voila--i'm banded!

 

getting nervous about post-op pain...that's all i'm concerned about. oh yeah, and EATING too...but...we'll work on that. if i could be as NOT HUNGRY as i am on this stupid pre-op diet--that would be good.
