Seven days from now I will be sitting in a recovery room. I will have a funnel like system in my body that will help me to control my portion size. My stomach will be swollen from the procedure and not feel hungry in the beginning. After not eating, a small sip of broth or a bowl of jello maybe a welcome change BUT....and here it comes....wait for it.....

I AM STARVING ON THIS PRE-OP ALL LIQUID DIET!

I am so hungry....no pouch...no small funnel system!

Just a large stomach that is used to eating whatever & whenever it wants. I am peeing like a race horse from all the fluids!

UUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

I have had V8...I have had fat-free chicken broth...I have had sugar-free ice pops...coffee...cranberry juice and of course the chalky chocolate protein drink!

But I am committed to this journey I have started. I am two days in to this liquid pre-op and all I keep telling myself is 6 days more and I will be in anesthesia la-la land & not realize how truly hungry I am.

So I refuse to go in the kitchen (out of sight out of mind). But I swear my sense of smell has gotten stronger....I can smell a pizza three block away!
