Liquid diet, day 2. What the ...
Apr 23, 2014
Been a while since I've posted a blog, but it is so nice to have this outlet.
I made it through day one of the liquid diet pretty well. I was surprised at how well, actually. Had the urge to eat when I got upset, but found some self-soothing things to do instead. Woke up this morning feeling happy, and light! And talkative, and generally in a good mood.
And about 20 minutes ago the bottom fell out. I am pissed and cold and I have a headache .... and did I mention PISSED. I can not wait to go home and go straight to bed. 1 hour 44 minutes and counting until the work day is over. In the meantime I put on a shawl and made myself a cup of tea. Hope that works, or at least lets me hang on until it's time to go.
Surely this is my body getting used to no food, and carbs/sugar leaving my system. But I could literally growl at people right now. I thought the emotional roller coaster started AFTER surgery.
But .... as I am thinking of that, I know that I use (used) food to regulate my feelings. So in light of that I guess it makes sense that I would have emotional reactions to not being able to eat the way I used to.
This is an adventure.
