Transforming Christine

Start:275 lbs

I am having my endoscopy/colonoscopy on 5/19, then initial cardiology appointment on 5/24. Surgery approval not complete yet. Just hoping everything goes smoothly. I only work part-time in the summer which can be a blessing and a curse.

O.k. I must vent a little here. I am in day 3 of the preoperative liquid diet and today is hard. I am hungry. There seems to be reminders of food everywhere. I have turned off the tube. Too many commercials and I was watching "The Chew". Bad idea! What are some tips and tricks to get through this?

Find distractions - read, go for a walk, color, go shopping (not for food lol), write in a journal, write a list of why you're doing this and what you want to do after weight loss!! Stay Strong!

Must have made a break through yesterday. The frantic hunger is over on Day 7 of the 14 day pre-op liquid diet. I seemed to have settled into not eating and just drinking my meals.

I am 4 days post-op and I am feeling pretty good.

The first two days after surgery was the hardest. I was still very sore and felt nauseated. I could not throw up so I ended up letting out a bark with each heave. That part was awful. But it really only happened once the morning after I got home from the surgical center.

Yesterday I started my chewy Vitamins and Meal Replacement shakes.

I really appreciated the consomee during the Clear liquids stage.
