Susan's Solemn Silliness

I was just thinking that I would never have done this yogurt and cottage cheese diet as a "diet". It is hard and crazy!!! In all the diets I have tried, very few were of this nature (like the cabbage Soup one or grapefruit diet). I always counted calories or WW etc.

I am only doing this for the band. (but the weight loss side effect will be nice)

Pre op day two under my belt. It was strange because I hardly ate yeterday, I was not really hungry.

As each day passes I am getting more confident that I can do this.

Day 4 begins. Last night was a little rough and I was hungry. I ended up having a yogurt before bed because I felt so empty. Down another 3 lbs this morning. I know that will slow soon, but it's fun while it lasts.

Pre-op appointment and tests at the hospital today. 1 1/2 hours to get there by TTC. I know I should not complain given that so many people travel much greater distances to have their procedure. Okay I will shut up and read my book!

You are doing amazing Susan!!! Wow you are losing like crazy! that cottage cheese and yogurt sure seems to be working! lol

I am so happy for you and hoping that I will see similar results when I start pre-op. I have a feeling I won't though as I tend to be a slow loser really and I have likely already lost the extra I had in Water, but it is all good! I just don't want any of it back! lol EVER!

Here I am eating.....cottage cheese! SURPRISE!!!

Actually my surprise is finding out that I have to stay overnight at the hospital for my surgery. That sucks. Big time.

Except for that piece of news, it was a wonderful experience at my pre-admission at Scarborough Grace. Had my blood work, EKG and chest X Ray done and met with a nurse and anesthesiologist. Everyone was so nice and supportive, wishing me luck and giving me confidence. Wow - less than 2 weeks now!!!!!

:help: It's almost 7:00 pm on Friday and I just gave dinner to my daughter and I am climbing the walls! This is the first time since I started the CC&Y diet that the smell of food is making me hungry enough to eat anything:hungry:

I am really worried about making it through the weekend. I deperately DO NOT want to fall off this diet. :think

Hi: Take some of that delicious cottage cheese and pretend it is the most wonderful thing you have ever tasted and take your time eating it. Next keep yourself busy to the point of distraction. My way is getting on the computer and posting like mad. Hang in there you can do it. Dont forget you will be around a lot longer and healthier for your children. Doddie

Thanks LL and Doddie. I am feeling much better this morning. I did have a bowl of cottage cheese and a Jello and spent the evening watching tv with Dh. A good nights sleep and I am back on track.

I can do this.

I am booked for that date... however it is looking like I cannot change my shift at work... I will try again tomorrow but it is looking grim...

On a brighter side... there is not much I can learn there as Mrs. Yoda had the surgery one year ago and I have lived (Vicariously) with the band all that time...

You can take my spot maybe and let me copy your notes... (God... I'm back in high school...second.gif

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
