13 days out from surgery 10 lbs down...

I haven't been eating.

Eating is a hassle.

When I do eat I either give up or don't eat the right thing. I don't put me or my staples in danger of course. I'm just not meeting protein requirements in the slightest.

I'm writing this post because I know there are a lot of other who feel like they've just been getting it wrong since Week 1 of surgery, and I just want to say that its never too late to turn it around. This isn't like all the other times!

I'm not looking for motivation, encouragement, a lecture or anything else. I'm just calling myself out for bad behaviour because I'm a big know-it-all who is miserable, tired, and losing hair.

I'm re-commiting myself to toughing it out this week and the coming weeks because I've been on this forum long enough to know that it all passes.

I'm rooting for you.

Add me to your cheering section!

Me too!

Sorry that this is apparently not what you want, but...

If I ate/drank even close to half of what I was supposed to the first 2-3 weeks it would have been a miracle.

Now, as you say, is the stage you simply have to get through the best way you can.

Give yourself the credit you deserve.

Rereading my post I sound pretty angry, and I was lol! I was angry at myself for not measuring up. Thank you for this.
