I Feel Like Poo! And I'm Starving.

So not a whole bunch has happenend since my last blog, just hungry still. I thought it would become easier but it hasn't. Day 3 was the worst so far; I had headaches and was even nauseous for most of the day. However I'm still trying to stay posistive. I finally told my family about my surgery and they gave me some much needed encouragement. Most everyone in my family is small, like sizes 4 thru 8. So I'm excited about looking like I too am part of the skinny jeans family.

 

We had a yard sale on Saturday and I went ahead and got rid of a whole bunch of clothes. We made over $400, so now I have some funding for a new wardrobe when the time comes. I never really knew how dedicated you must be in order to do this. I knew it would be hard, but I guess food is a bigger krutch for me than I realized. I do feel great about getting rid of everyting though. I keep trying to focus on the payoff. No health problems and no uncomfortable rolls of fat. However like most people I'm so ready to get back to normal, and I haven't even really started. I have so far to go. 4 months before regular food.

 

I think we forget how much food is not only for nourishment, but also how socially it affects things too. Get togethers, BBQ's, social gatherings, dinner time with famiy, date night, all of these and a million more not mentioned all involve or revolve around food. So before I end this entry, a little advice... don't sit around like I am. STAY BUSY during your diet and try not to dwell on not eating. Try not to plan anything that has food involve. Wishing all good luck and would love to hear from those who got thru this that were weak like me.

Been on liquid diet for 5 days....went today to get pro-op tests done and found out I was bumped off the schedule.......I didn't cry or anything.....I knew the emergency had to be bad becasue we are the last elective surgery they cut...

The good news...I'm down another 10 lbs...oh yah!

They took me off the fluids and I will have to restart them again when I get my new date.........not looking forward to that.....

Wow, that's a hard one to swallow. I'm so sorry! You never know you may be one of the new ones that get the single incision surgery through the belly button leaving no scars. I wish you the best.
