I had a constant headache while on the two week preop diet and the first 4 days after surgery. It gets better. It's your body going through food withdrawal.

Luckily my plain was 2 shakes one for Breakfast and lunch and a high Protein LOW carb dinner. But it was still hard. I stayed home a lot. Had to constantly change the channel cus of damn food commercials. I took a lot of walks with my iPod. I did have a few days I fell off the wagon... But I got back on ASAP and remembered why I was doing this. I also was a lil scared I my doctor lol he had told me he could tell who followed the plan and who didn't and if he didn't think I was ready even on the day of surgery he wouldn't go through with it o_O good luck and STAY STRONG :-D

Today I'm feeling light headed enough so that I won't drive. My stomach keeps growling which doesn't help. I only have 2 days to surgery and have decided to stay home and relax.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
