1>8>3>4>6.

I think I hit a turning point last night after smashing my phone screen to smithereens and nearly slicing off my own fingerprints. Just... FINE. Now Iโ€™m rolling into the weekend with a solid 2 hours of drinking coffee while sitting in a swivel armchair staring out the window at birds and listening to yoga music.

Amazon is delivering a ton of bath stuff tomorrow, and Iโ€™m going to make chutney this weekend and eat it on a tiny grilled cheese. I have a plan. Monday things can wait for Monday.

I spend too much time on the internet, because this is what immediately popped into my head

Iโ€™m at about a 5. Came home from father-in-laws family reunion in Southern Arkansas on Monday. My souvenir from the trip is a pretty solid head cold that is hopefully peaking today. Work has been nutso since I returned and Iโ€™m PMSing which means everything and anything is testing my patience.

Husband is out with friends tonight and Iโ€™m relaxing at home, so Iโ€™d say weโ€™re up to a 6.5.

The silver lining is that I donโ€™t get sick that often these days and it usually blows over quickly now. One of the perks of now being a non smoker and taking a boat load of Vitamins. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Is it just me, or is that gerbil practicing mindful eating?

Also while I promise not to make a grilled cheese and chutney the size of my own head, I cannot promise I will chew each bite 20 times, or that I will limit myself to a few bites and then throw the rest away (or cast it directly onto the floor). So that is PARTIALLY me this weekend, but not completely. Also the rodent has no wine. Rookie mistake, rodent.

Hahaha i have no stevia that will travel well in tiny wedding purses so im leaving them behind. I think this is the outfit I'll wear unless something changes

It's a small top and an old size 12 formal skirt (when they meant it... None of this vanity sizing nonsense because it feels like a 6/8) so i can't gain an oz lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
