Packing
Jan 01, 2013
Today is day 10 of opti fast. I have lasted through Christmas eve, Christmas Day, New Years eve and New Years day. All the high holidays.
I have not cheated once. Last night I wanted food so bad I couldn't sleep I tossed and turned until after 2 am. It's getting harder as I've heard it's supposed to get easier.
I can't stomach the broth or jello anymore. I crave to just have a piece of chicken fill my mouth with flavour. Just that first bite.
Anyway, I'm packing for surgery today. I'm very nervous, it's getting so real, but I'm already fitting in clothes that haven't fit me for months, with only 16 pounds down-so far it's been worth the sacrifice.
Thought I'd share my surgery bag checklist.
slippers/flip flops (not sure if I want to wear my house slippers in the hospital where everyone is wearing shoes, so i'll likely just bring my flip flops)
sanitary wipes (as I wont be able to shower the first day atleast, I'd like to be fresh)
toothbrush and toothpaste.
deodorant.
chapstick
lotion
hairbrush and hairties
cozy robe
fresh underwear & socks
comfy sweatpants to wear home
Thats all I can think of for now. Have anything to add?
