Pre-Op Liquid Diet – Day 9
I don’t know why but today was a very difficult day to try and stay focused. All I could think about was I want something to eat! It seemed like every commercial, every Facebook post, even TV shows were all focusing on food!
I know I shouldn’t complain and I’m really trying not to, but 2 weeks without a morsel of food is hard! Especially around the holidays! Only 11 more days till I can have some substance…today was not a good day to read my booklet to find out that my liquid diet goes a full week after the lap band surgery in Chicago too! That’s 3 weeks of no food! Is this the anxiety people start to feel that I heard about??
I am at the point right now that if I see another tub of jello, I will seriously throw it at someone. Drinking the same thing over and over every day is starting to get to me, too. To the point where I would rather not drink anything at all. Why do sugar-free drinks taste sweeter than regular drinks?? If I were a sweets person, it would be a different story. Consuming sweet tasting beverages probably wouldn’t be so bad at all.
Right now my determination is being tested. I feel that I’m getting super close to my breaking point where I say “screw it, I’m hungry and I’m going to have something to eat!” If anyone has any words of wisdom at this point I would LOVE to hear them!!
