Liquid Diet Day 3 of 5

It's more than halfway over and yet it still feels like time is standing still.  I am so proud of myself right now.  I cut a piece of pizza for S at lunch which was TERRIBLY HARD to do.  You never realize how much you munch until you can't.

C'mon Sleeve-day!

Liquid Diet Day 2 of 5

Ughhhh - why must food rule my brain?  It's everywhere.  I have to cook it for my family and see it on TV.  My tummy was so sad today thinking about everything I cannot have.  I'm trying to redirect my mind when that happens and only think about each meal as it comes otherwise I will probably lose it!

Sleeping is a good escape so I'm going to bed early tonight!

Liquid Diet - Day 1 of 5 

Okay - today was surprisingly easy.  There were a few moments were my brain screamed for real food, but I survived it.  I think the novelty will wear off soon enough and I'm going to be one very cranky lady for the next four days! But this is just a precursor for what's to come and I am damned well going to be ready!

Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.  I want to be excited but I am keeping myself from being to hopeful because of what happened LAST TIME. I am trying to keep myself busy with planning.  I'm great at planning! lol.  Follow-through is a whole other story however.

Some items on my agenda:

1. Pack items for hospital.
2. Prep pantry cabinet just for me.
3. Re-read my surgery workbook.
4. Straighten up the house.
5. Game plan for post-op.
