Day 15 of the partial liquid diet, and the day before of the surgery. This, has been the longest 15 days of my life. I been cranky and mean to almost every one, including the dog. But I made it, I made a couple of cheats like eating pickles, sugar free Popsicles and the worst one I had two pieces of milk chocolate. I lost 6 more pounds with the diet. I am ready to get this surgery done. I am excited and terrified because i know all the risks involved but I have confident in God and my surgeon and I will be OK. I really thank my boyfriend for keeping up with all the mean that I gave him. So lets do this. I am 258 pounds now, Onward to 150!

DAY 3: Partial Liquid diet
Day 3:
Well it is not so bad. I feel, thin. HUNGRY though. The protein drinks, are good in taste. I have to drink it on time. Exactly two hours later I feel hungry, therefore i made alarms in my phone so I don't miss my shakes. At night 4 oz of lean chicken feels like a lot, it fills me out. I eat it with two cups of non-starchy veggies. However, after i get full, in two hours at 7:30 pm I feel like I am starving. So I drink my water then, until I do to bed. But then I am waking up several times at night to use the bathroom. I feel dizzy, cranky, and tired. I had to take a medical leave from school because I didn't feel alert at school. But I still think is not so bad, its like breaking some kind of addiction. I just need to be isolated so I don't get temptation from people eating around me. Once I learn to control my urges, It will be better. I need lots of encouragement, and I think I have enough.
Last night I was awake in the side of the bed for around 2 hours, just randomly thinking about things. At one point I was questioning myself, is this really worth it? Of course it is. Being healthy means living longer and being able to wear a bathing suit once again ;) .
For water too, I drink some sobe 0 calorie drinks, power zero, and some sugar free popsicles. The sugar free popsicles are my savior. When ever i want something crunchy, or sweet, I grab one of those and it ease all those cravings at once. With no sugar, and barely any calories.
I am wondering if I will loose any weight or inches with this. at the end of the two weeks.

Pre-op Diet
I am 7 days away from my partial liquid diet and 21 days away from surgery. My surgery date is November 26, 2013.In the mean time, I am struggling with the Cpap machine. It is getting a little longer to get used to using a mask to sleep at night. Also my mouth gets very dry, but I called my supplier and I think I found a solution ( a chin strap) hopefully when it arrives it helps me get an actually good night sleep.
Anyways my pre-op partial liquid diet starts in 11/12 the day after my pre-op visit. The diet consist of two weeks of mostly liquids as follow: Glucose Controlled Boost or Ensure High Protein shake drinks
8am shake
10am shake
noon shake
2pm shake
5pm meal ( 4-5 oz of lean meat and 1-2 cups of fresh non starchy vegetable
bedtime shake
and 64oz of water, which i think is going to be the hardest thing to do.
I have lost a total of 25 pounds since i started this journey. And this is just the beginning. I mostly struggle with energy and finding fighting cravings. Now only 21 more day for my new life to start.
