Do any of you remember that commercial (for trash bags, I think) that came on in the early 90's? The trash bag or can would sing, "Feed me, feed me all your trash!" I have looked everywhere to find a clip of it and can't.
Anyway, today is my fourth day on the pre-op liquid diet and has been the best day so far. The first day I felt hungry sometimes but it was always time to have another shake when I felt that way. The second and third day were AWFUL! Y'all, I was so hungry! My little boy came up to me after he had been eating a birthday cake Oreo. He smelled like birthday cake and I wanted to eat his sweet little face! :) My husband asked me how I was doing and I sang him the song from the commercial. "Feed me, feed me all your trash!" We shared a laugh and he encouraged me. So thankful for a man like that! :)
I learned on that third day to always have a glass of water near by. Continuously drinking water between shakes or soups really helps.
Today, I think my body has adjusted and maybe my stomach has shrunk? I have felt a lot more satisfied and a lot less grouchy. :)
My sisters, who are also overweight, and I have always made jokes about skinny people being mean. Oh, don't pretend! You know there is a reason people say, "fat and happy," and "skinny bi**h." I am sure my sisters would have said, "Give her a cheeseburger!" if they would have been here. In the short term, a cheeseburger would have rocked my world! However, in the process, over the past 6+ months, I have learned that there are more important things than being fed. Like, living! So, I am sticking to the plan.
Today I weighed in at 245.4, a 10.6 pound loss! Boom!
