Day 5 of 6 on my liquid diet!

Ok so day #5 is here.. only one more day of this before my surgery.  I have done exceptionally well, better than I thought I have.  Today I still think about food but for the most part I have kept my brain busy and not been thinking too much.  I have lost about 9lbs so far, and probably about 12 by time surgery day arrives.  It is difficult to drink 64oz of water in a day now, I can’t imagine how hard it is after surgery but I will try my best.  At my last official diet weigh in I was 231…. when I went in to my class I was 248 I think *GASP* – yeah and there was only about 3 weeks between the two, which is the horrible part!  So maybe by surgery day I will only be plus 8 pounds. I’m sure there is plenty of excess water weight too… because I retain water like crazy.

The nerves are setting to get to me though.  Honestly, this surgery is on my mind 24/7.  My primary goal is making it out of the surgery alive.  Statistics are on my side of course, and I have survived 3 other surgeries this year, so I think I will do good.  I hope that I do not have any complications or any lactose intolerance afterwards!

I haven’t had anything to eat today yet, just all water to drink.  Today is a full liquids day, tomorrow is a clear liquids day.  I’m going to have some pea soup and a couple protein drinks today.  Tomorrow it will be chicken brother and watered down protein drinks all day long.

48 hours from now I will be on the losers bench…. again!
