Day 3 pre-op...I should be sleeping lol
Feb 22, 2012
Today wasn't as bad as yesterday. I couldn't even think about typing yesterday because I was so so so hungry. I came straight home and went to bed. I figure when I am sleeping, I don't think about food so thats a good thing. Today, I was better prepared at work. I took my soy milk...I'm sorry..protein shakes with water is absolutely the pits. I couldn't drink broth today though. I just couldn't stand the thought of it. So popsicles, jello and water. Tomorrow I'm home so it should be better. I looked at blogs today. I forget the lady's name on here..but she has recipes on her blog. Look sooo good too. I think I am going to buy some of that Toriano (sp) syrup so I can add it to stuff and it taste good. I have to go out grocery shopping tomorrow. Maybe I can find it at health food store too. I think I am really starting to look forward to this.So anyway...this girl at work..she is really going hard trying to discourage me. She thinks that the surgery ruined her liver and something else about not being able to eat. I was listening to her and it was basically coming across like a lot of haterism. I mean..if people think this is some magic pill...they are wrong. And I think most of the people at my job who had it done think just that. I asked her is she getting her protein in, walking, watching what she eats. She said no to all. So you tell me....maybe some habits need to be changed. Trust and believe, I know that it's going to be hard. I love sweets...so that will be the challenge for me. But don't tell me that the surgery fails because you didn't put your best foot forward.
One other thing I was talking about today...its like we get so conditioned to eating junk food, that it becomes our "normal". I know I have to re-train my mind that eating healthy is really whats normal. I was talking to husband and told him that we are all going to make healthy changes...everybody in the house. Not that they need to lose weight..but that we all need to try to live healthy. Ok..I've successfully made myself sleepy. Tomorrow is a new day. I am facing it with positivity.
