Day # 3 of Liquid Shakes Pre-Op

Apr 21, 2011

I say Day # 3, but really the first day I had my first shake for Dinner, 4/19/11.  Then my full day of shakes took place on 4/20/11; I was kinda depressed and did not want to wake up on 4/20/11; but reality set in and I knew I had to.  I had the feeling of just wanting to sleep for the next 2 weeks and 4 days until Surgery.  I went over to my sister's house because I took of my first day of doing the Shakes and my mom came over to her house to support me the day of picking up my shakes on 4/19/11 and 4/20/11 full day of shakes.  I managed, but I did have a headache all day.  I do not like the taste at all, but I was not hungry.  I am lactose intolerant, so I only had one shake with 1 % Milk at night time.  Otherwise, I was only able to drink 3 1/2 shakes on my first full day.  I used water with the other 2 1/2 shakes.  Today, 4/21/11 Wednesday, it is now 1:06 and I have had 1 1/2 shakes so far.  I am still not hungry. I have been chewing on sugarless gum - Dentyne Fire spicy Cinnamon to get the taste of the shake out of my mouth.  It really helps alot.  I will be making some sugarless Jello and I bought some sugarless Popsicles too; so I will try to enjoy that this evening.  It is hard to get in extra water, but I have to do this.  I have checked my blood sugar everyday a couple times a day and it has been under control, so I have not taken my Diabetic medicine; not sure if I should stop it because I am afraid of it going lower.  I weighed in at 245.5 on 4/19/11 and weighed myself this morning and weighed 238.  That is (8.5 lbs lost already-Wow!  Keep me in your prayers.  I can do this!  :)
