Half Way There

[NeonRaven8919 544]

It's been 6 weeks since I got my surgery date and started on my 12 week milk diet as set out by the doctor.

But, I've made it 6 weeks. I really didn't think I would be able to. I've had cheat days and felt bad, but then shook myself off and got back on track.

I'm already bored with shakes and Soup and I still have another 6 weeks of the pre-op diet and then more of the same for the first month past surgery.

This has been difficult and I need to remind myself it will all be worth it. And then the always hungry part of my brain/soul/subconscious tells me to give up because I won't be able to eat "normally" ever again and I should just eat a donut.

So I'm trying to have a sense of humour about it.

Well done on getting to this point 👏👏👏 Just keep reminding yourself that it’s a teeny-tiny blip of a way of eating that will be over before the end of the year, and that you will be eating different foods and textures while getting in to smaller sized (no cute puppies or kittens) clothing and shocking yourself at the continual changes and healthier feelings.

Cheering you on!

I have to hand it to you that doesn’t sound fun but if you can do this, you’ve got this once you are back to normal food for sure!! It will all absolutely be so worth it!! Just keep reminding yourself just how much you deserve this. And check out the “weirdest non scale victories” thread if you haven’t already. Some inspiring changed to look forward to that may help keep you motivated. You’re doing awesome. You’ve got this.
