Day 5 of my 2 week no food (Jelly and Soup) pre op Liver Diet
Hi All,
Well here we are day 5, and its still hard. I have managed to drink a bit more today than yesterday, but mostly just water. I am getting fed up with the stock cube drinks already and only had about half a mug of one today, before tipping it away.
I have had a call from the hospital in Hull saying there changing my operation, when they said that I thought , here we go, but its jus the time they are changing, instead of a 3.30pm appointment, they are changing who is doing the surgery, and its now a 1pm operation, I will not be able to drink from 7am on the day, and have to be at the hospital by 10am.
Tomorrow I will find out my current weight, and for a change I actually feel different like I may have lost, if I have not then its just the changes my body is going through from not eating, but I think there will be a bit off, then next week should be a large loss, this weigh in tomorrow will only be 5 days of not eating, and as my body is changing to adapt with no food, but next weeks will be 9 days of not eating and already had my body change, so should fall off. Reading the documents about this diet though, it says NO ONE should ever do more than the two weeks, and that most of the weight loss will be water, so its pointless trying it to lose weight, because as soon as food is eaten the weight will come back as fast. With me though, once I have the operation at the end I will still not be able to eat, so I should keep losing.
Today has been a busy day, one of my friends has had to go buy a new car, so I was the driver for the day running them about, they bought a lovely Vauxhall Zafera in silver, so was worth the day driving round, once they got what they wanted, and it kept me away from food, and my mind off it too.
With being out I never got to go for a nap in the day, and its now 9pm and I'm really feeling drained, so I think I will have an early night, take my lap top, and watch a movie in bed, then go to sleep, so night all.

FEEL FREE TO KEEP UP ON MY DAILY INTAKES HERE
Right so I'm now off to bed again, hoping I can sleep and get this operation out of my head for a bit, For the next 2 weeks I will be back to doing daily diary's here on MarkCrook.co.uk so keep checking back to see how I do, what I don't eat, and how I'm coping with the worry of the Gastric By-Pass operation (3rd July)
