These are the days I dread...
VSG on 02/09/12
Tell me about it. We were snowed in today too and I'm on like Day 4 of my pre-op liquid diet. Normally I would have spent a day like today curled up on the couch with a book (or two) and an endless flow of hot chocolate and popcorn. And guess what? Even heated up, those protein shakes don't taste like hot chocolate (yes... I tried... shut up).
I caved at about 3:00 and had about a half of a piece of deli turkey but that was ALL and while yes, that was probably a bad plan, I did it and I'm not beating myself up about it and I'm moving on. Little victories. Like on Sunday. I went and had a manicure and normally, after a manicure, I would hit up Sonic on the way home for a tasty beverage and probably some cheese fries but I didn't. I drove past. And that made me feel good.
So I've decided that it's all about little victories on a day like today. Every hour that I stay out of the fridge is a victory. A step in the right direction. And yes... distraction is a very, very helpful tool.
GOOD LUCK!
(I'm in East Tennessee, by the way, and we got several inches of snow and it looks like more is moving in)
