Day 4 is in the books

[Mel1976 47]

Day 4 of liquids is done and I must say that today was much better than yesterday. I did have some pretty bad nausea today and was dizzy, but it seems that has subsided. Onto day 5 tomorrow...and Friday is weigh in day. I wish 50 pounds could be lost in one week, but I know thats not going to happen.

Your doing great, I dread that part but you are an insparation. I know it's just the beginning of the process but it's still scary, it's good to know your doing so well. I'm still waiting for approval.

Thanks so much. I am on the preop for 4-6 weeks so it is hard. I just keep reminding myself of the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm tentatively scheduled for nov 19th pending insurance approval. I'm so sick of being like this I'm temped to start my pre-op now with you. Do you get any solids at all?

No solids at all. I get 4 Protein shakes a day, unlimited sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth and Water. That is all. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

But you are doing it beautifully

Have I told you yet today that I'm so impressed by your determination?

Well I am, and I know you are going to get there soon!

Thanks so much...but I feel like a failure. I broke down and had a few bites of my sons dinner. I should be put in the corner!

Well you are in luck, because I don't know where you live to get you!!!

I don't think most people can go a month without having a slip up...

Oh kids dinners are the worse (or the hardest) I always finished my children's leftover bits as not to waste! Now I scrape them into the garbage or the digs bowl.. And It's still hard sometimes!

Don't feel like a failure because you are not. Just try and do better tomorrow! Just remember this is in your hands and you are giving yourself a wonderful gift that you deserve

Thanks Laura...you are one of the most supportive people I know. I am going to do my best not to have another slip up.
