Liquid Diet Day 10 - Almost forgot to blog today.  Had a pre-surgical appointment at 8 this morning at the hospital to make sure the anesthesiology folks knew what to expect re. the Big Cheryl.  I ...

Liquid Diet Day 9 - Or should I start counting down instead of up?  Like days to surgery.  I guess I'll have to get used to counting down, especially when it comes to weight numbers on a scale.... ...

Liquid Diet Day 8 - I'm so pleased that I made it a week already.  It's not so bad, I've gotten quite used to it, and think I could maintain this until the end of the month, especially after surgery. ...

Liquid Diet Day 7 - Today I feel wonderful.  Almost a whole week on the liquid diet, and not a morsel of whole food has passed my lips.  I'm so proud of myself.  I feel my energy is back too.  Went to...

Liquid Diet Day 6 - The last 5 days have been instructive about how my body and mind functions.  I learned that I am very uncomfortable at 700 calories in a day, both psychologically and physically.  ...

Liquid Diet Day 5 - I admit I was getting cocky; thought the liquid diet at 1000 calories a breeze.  As payment for my exuberance, I hit a wall yesterday, and suffered.  I worked out pretty hard at th...

Liquid Diet Day 4 - They say the first three days of a diet are the hardest.  So I've jumped that hurdle.  I always found weekends to be a challenge, especially with respect to beer and wine and chips...

Day 3 Liquid Diet - Not hungry this a.m.  Went to the gym at 5:15 a.m. as per usual this week.  Did 40 minutes on the elliptical while reading a magazine, light cardio as this is my weight day.  Did 3...

Day 2 Liquid Diet - OK, need to buy bigger glasses to hold the protein shakes.  Since Richard (the hubba) is also doing a shake with me at dinner time, I need to empty the blender.  But the glasses I ...

Day 1 Liquid Diet - Since it's only been 3 hours since "breakfast" can't say it's too bad.  We did go out last night to Outback, and had a filet mignon and lobster, with a couple of Sam Adams Winter a...

Liquid Diet starts tomorrow - I like the idea that my liquid diet starts on December 1st, because that means that the ENTIRE month of December, not one solid morsel of food will pass my lips.  Sounds kinda anor...

Surgery Scheduled December 15, 2010 - Holy Cow, This came out of the blue Wednesday afternoon.  I got a call from my surgeon's office, that my insurance approved my application, and I'm scheduled for surgery Decembe...

Timers to Regulate Eating vs. Drinking - I'm pre-op, so this might not even be an issue post op. I'm thinking of getting a small pocket size timer that I can push to time my 30 minute drink cycle.  See, I'm really tryi...

I need a Mommy or a Wife - I'm craving some organization in my life.   I need to make a schedule, so that I no longer have to stress out about when I can fit in grocery shopping, when I do my interval traini...

Hunger - Boy am I starving right now.  I just ate a healthy, reasonable calorie meal (450 cals, 30 gm Pro), with plenty of protein, and I want more.  I'm pre-op and trying to be good, but i...

First Ever Blog - I'm just starting my WLS journey, going thru the initial evaluations and tests and hoping that I get scheduled before year-end.  I've chosen gastric bypass because it's a middle/ri...
