So it's someone's last day in the office today, and there is (lots of) cake. Despite me politely declining 3 or 4 times, someone still plopped a giant-sized slice on my desk. Every time this person walks by - who happens to be my client, btw - she comments (loudly) how I have not taken a bite of said cake.
So I have resorted to wrapping up bits of the cake in tissue and discretely throwing it out every once in a while. I tell myself I'm only doing this because I'm at a client site, but I tell ya, this is not a proud moment for me.
Honestly, why do people care so much what I eat.

I've got a nasty cold and I am lacking in any motivation to eat what I should or exercise. I just want to eat TOAST and drink HOT CHOCOLATE dammit! I am forcing myself to sip some water right now while I sulk.

Today is day one of my liquid only diet. (For me that's four protein shakes and unlimited sf jello, sf popsicles, and broth.) I did myself a favor and went no-carb (except for some vegetables) for the last three days, to try to stave off hunger a bit and make the transition easier. I think I will thank myself for that.
I'm going ahead and cutting out the last of caffeine now, too, even though my surgeon doesn't require it. I can't imagine coffee settles well on a newly post-op stomach, and black tea can mess with opioids' effectiveness--who needs that?! I was down to two tea bags' worth of caffeine, most days, so I might? not? get horrible headaches?
I'm having a decaf coffee now, though, in the hopes that I can convince my body that we're OK, we aren't depriving ourselves of anything we need.
Anyway, cheers to other early October surgery folks who have started or are about to start the liquid diet! We've got this! 👊-
I think you're going to do amazing, you have a lot of discipline. You definitely got this!

Excited about my latest stats! 6 weeks post op, 57 lbs down, 4" lost from my chest, 6.5" lost from my waist, 8" lost from my hips, 4" off each thigh, 4" off each bicep. Kicking ass and loving it!

I moved from "obese" and made it to the "overweight" category on the BMI chart today! Yippee! Check out my latest 13 week Post-Op update on YouTube:

Hi, Kristina! Your surgery date was same as mine. Hope you're doing well!

I'm so sorry about the migraine, I had one in the hospital and it was just misery on top of misery. I hope you're on the mend from them. I agree that the water and food are hard to get in. I've started journaling everything in a notebook so I can hopefully keep better track of it and remind myself of what I need to do.
I'm still a little sore but so much better than Wednesday. Heading to the movies this afternoon and really excited to get out of the house! Take care!
