Liquid diet
Jul 21, 2008
Well it has been a whole stinken week of no food. I knew it wasnt going to be easy but sheesh. I never thought it would be this hard. I sit and drull over my moms food and sometimes the dogs food. I never realized how good there food smelled till this week....
I know lord help me. I have been praying that I dont mess up and to be honest I have wanted to cheat. I walk through the kitchen and think to myself just a piece of bread wont hurt it will be out just as fast as I put it in. Then I think how messed up it would be to have to have another 2 weeks of liquid because I had to put off the surgery because I messed up. I cant do it. I have baby food for when I come home. Plus my chicken breasts and veggies and stuff. That baby food looks so good. For thoughs of you that didnt have to do the liqiud diet I am envieous of you. ( I hope I spelled that right).
Well till next time Eat well and eat some for me.

Great news
Jul 10, 2008
Well great news I finally was able to talk to the people at St. Agnes and they told me my surgery was completely covered. I was so excited to hear that. I felt a weight being lifted off of my shoulders. I was worried that I would have to pay more money out of pocket for the surgery. I mean I havent paid anything for the surgery itself but all the stuff that comes with it. You know the two week diet, the protein mix ( which you and I both know is not that cheap), the vitamins ( I get mine from www.bariatricadvatage.com and they are not to cheap). I know it sounds like so little but being on a fixed income that was alot for me to do. I am happy it is done though. Plus that means I have been completley approved for the surgery... Yaaa whoooo!!!!
I start my liquids Monday. 6 Months just kind of flew past me. I am tring to figure out where it went for it to be here already. I guess many of you felt that way...
Well till my next entry ( Stay strong and fit, My prayers are with you)

scared
Jul 08, 2008
Well I am done with all of my pre op testing. I got good feed back on my ekg and my check up. I guess I am ready to go. I just have one problem, all of my excitment is starting to turn into fear... How do you deal with the fear? Of course I have to meet with someone once a week to talk about my feelings and stuff. I mean it is help ful but in the same sence if you have never had the surgery how in the world could you know how I feel. I understand there are similar situations but not exactly the same. That is what I love about OH. Everyone weither lap band or sleeve or GB has all been where I am about to go. I can turn to my friends for support and ways to deal with this whole scary situation.
Some what of a good day....

Today was a little better. I woke up and had a salad with a little dressing. Now see lunch is where my problem comes in at. I have a big problem with toast. I have gotten better with my carbs. I dont eat noodles anymore or rice. I even cut out my taters weither mashed or baked. I had that 12 grain wheat bread. 6 slices. I used to eat almost 12 at a time. Like I said I am doing better but not great. I have gotten used to not drinking anything for 30 minutes after meals. Now if I could get used to not eating toast I would be better. I know I cant have it for a long time after my surgery I guess that is why I am so weak for it now.
For dinner was good baked chicken and Oriental stir fry veggies. No desert. I wish. I had sugar free lemonaid. So that was my day of fighting with the food. I just hope it gets easier. I mean my liquid diet starts on the 14th. One week. I am buging about that. No food for 2 weeks and then baby food for another 2. Scary thought. I just skimm through alot of profiles on here and see that so many people have already been through this and it gives me hope that I will stay stong.....
To all my OH friends thank you for your support and you have all my love.....

Last supper syndrome
Jul 05, 2008
I can tell you this the last supper syndrome can kill you if your not careful. I went through about a week of wanting to eat everything I could get my hands on. Now, I didnt do to bad, I stayed with mostly salad and hard boiled eggs. I did have an italian cold cut and french fries. I even went as far as a fried fish sand which with a grilled chicken salad. Now for some that doesn't sound to bad. For me it is awful. I have worked so hard for the last 7 months to prepare for the 28th and to think that in one week I almost messed it all up. I am over the syndrome for now anyway. I just have one last thing to get out of the way and that is ice cream. I cant have it anymore after the 14th of this month because of the liquid diet and I havent had it in months. So I am going to make my self some what sick with Rocky Road. I cant go to far I am diabetic. I know I know don't do it. Well tuff cause I am. I cant take away the one last thing that I enjoy just yet. I have done good I am off of soda. No sweets are in my diet. I eat salad morning noon and sometimes night. I am off of red meat and pork. So to cheat this one last time I hope to forgive my self later. I just hope it is worth it. Seeing how it is my last woohaa......
