And so it begins...

So I started my pre-op liquid diet on Thursday. I was worried I wouldn't like the taste of the shakes but I have to say that they taste pretty good. I decided on the Bariatric Advantage Chocolate - and the Chike Orange Cream Meal Replacement powders. The chocolate is my favorite but then again that is not surprising seeing I am a chocoholic:)I have learned one very important thing about myself though, I eat Automatically... does that sound silly to any of you?.. Let me explain...When I quit smoking in Jan.2009 I didn't have the urge to smoke but yet I would automatically reach for the pack of cigs. If I were on the computer.. reach.. talking on the phone? .. Reach... It drove me nuts because I knew I didn't want a cigarette, in fact just the idea of one made my stomach turn.. so why did I do that. I talked to several people about it and they said it was because I was so used to always having a cig in my hand or mouth while doing those things that my brain hadn't realized I quit smoking.... Well back to the diet we go.. I am having the same "symptoms" I am NOT hungry after I drink the shakes, my bouillon and eat my jello but still in between those meals.. ALL I want to do is put food in my mouth but not consciously, if that makes sense.. it is just as if there is something missing if I do not have food in my hand or mouth at all time. Why am I feeling this way when I am NOT hungry????
I decided to stock up on chewing gum... at least my mouth will be busy and perhaps it will fool my brain into thinking I am eating or something..... boy this is going to be a long pre-op diet if my brain doesn't ease up on me...lol
Well I am going to make myself another shake so I don't get hungry:)
Talk to you later!!
