My Pre Op Diet
I am on day 13. And starving but I am looking towards the reward I get in the end....
-
Help! Grazing!
I too am starving. I never realized how addicted to food I am until it was taken away. Today am on day thirteen. Easter morning no candy from the baskets, no great and yummy Easter dinner, but it is so worth it. I am having surgery Tuesday by Dr.Kim in Dallas. I would hate to lose my hard earned money because I cheated. So it is normal to crave all the foods around us, but be strong it will be your turn soon. Kim

Truth Moment: Does It Piss Anyone Else Off To Hear People Say The Surgery Is The Easy Way Out? Or You Could Just Stop Eating.

I Am Starving
Pre-op diet day: 11 Hungry, tired of shakes, tired of dealing with ignorant people. Tuesday can not come soon enough. I need prayers! I am frustrated and need alone time. Freaking out wandering if I am always going to feel this way due to hunger. I had no idea I was so addicted of food. Being a mom and wife I have to tuff it out and make sure they eat. Thanks for listening.
