Nov 28, 2009

Well, I made it through my first day of liquid diet. I can't say it was fun but I done it! I fought with being light headed and of course hungry. I just ate alot of sf Popsicles and tried to drink a protein drink every 4 hours.

I got out my pre-op diet instructions to look at them again today and I can have 1 vegetable and 1 fruit. OMG! I got so excited. I never in a million years would have thought I would be excited about getting to eat 1 vege and 1 fruit daily but I am. Hopefully, this will help with my  hunger quite a bit.

I have to work 12 hour shifts and that is what worries me. I am afraid that I am going to get really weak and light headed. I just keep telling myself that I am not the only one to have gone through this. I am tough and can do it!

Today (11/28/2009) is my second day and it hasn't been so bad so far. I am working tonight so we will see how it goes. i did pack my protein powders and water, my one little fruit (apple), jello and some broth. So far so good.

Tim is sticking to this diet with me. I have been so impressed. Poor thing, he has been just as hungry as me. We laugh at each other and keep each other motivated. I really don't know what I would do without him at times. Sabrina has been so sweet. She asked today would it bother me for her to heat up something to eat and eat it in front of me. I have a pretty awesome family!!! We put up the Christmas tree today. We struggled with finding all the connectors (we have a pre-lit tree) but finally managed to get all the lights working. It looked pretty when we were done. I think the lack of food has got me to feeling mushy today, have I mentioned that I really love my family. :) Oh dang, if I am like this after 2 days of liquid diet - imagine what I will be like at day 12. :) My poor family!!! LOL!

The thought did hit me today when we were putting up the tree that this will be my last Holiday that I will be morbidly obese. I can't hardly wrap my mind around that yet. I am so ready to have surgery behind me. Tim took off 10 days from work to take care of me during and after surgery. I am not worried about a thing. He will make sure that everything is taken care of. I am so blessed.

On that note, I am at work so I need to do a little work now. Will keep the blog updated on the liquid diet. Until next time.......
