Day 7 of my 2 week no food (Jelly and Soup) pre op Liver Diet
Hi All,
Day 7 now and I am still doing well. Today I have found myself not craving so much as I have been, so I hope that keeps up. What I have been doing though is getting on with my day, and then suddenly thinking oh I will go have some toast, or a sandwich, or cook a meal, and things like that, then remembering I can't. Its like I keep forgetting that I can not eat, and carry on planning as I did before. but as soon as I remember I cant I want to. so have been trying to keep myself busy. I'm sure as the next week goes on and the operation gets closer it will get harder, as nerves kick in, and I see family and friends and I'm in situations that are not normal, I will want to eat, BUT I WILL NOT BE DOING THAT. I need to give myself as bigger chance as possible, and any weight loss now will not be able to come back on after the operation.
Today I had to take my Dad shopping, and what I thought would take only an hour or so ended up with me being out for 6 hours. I just waited outside every shop so I could not be tempted and boy has the day dragged. I did not know so much shopping would fit in my car in one go.
I come home about 4pm, and by 4pm I was back in bed for a couple of hours, tired after sitting in the car all day. When I got up I sorted through the last of my dvd collection and listed it on eBay hoping to make some more money towards the cost of travelling to the hospital and for hotels while there for my dad.
Its now 11pm and I'm going back to bed. I have a guest for the weekend, and have to be up handy in the morning to sort the upstairs of my house out. Chris has worked really hard all week, and I have a new kitchen (just needs some paint doing) and the living room is spotless, apart from the white emulation he dropped and then the gloss he dropped the next day lol. hopefully that will come off the laminate with some paint stripper though. Right, night all.
Today's food (well drinks) I have had are detailed below...

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)
