Taming the inner pig - Mrs. Beavers Journey

[MrsBeaver]

I was wondering the same thing? Tea is pretty much the only thing keeping me sane at the moment lol

Another pound down this morning....wooohoooo...Lets see how I will feel today. Didnt wake up starving like the last few days, so thats a plus lol

 

[niccie]

Well very best of luck!

Why can't you guys have tea?

I could have black tea if I wanted - but I hate black tea. No dairy at all allowed on my pre-op. It's simply chicken, eggs, spinach/broccoli/cabbage, clear soup, sugar-free squash, 3 small pieces of fruit

 

[MrsBeaver]

Oh dear, that sucks! I am so glad that I can have dairy on my pre op. Have you tried fruit or herbal teas?

Anyway, how is everyone feeling today? I am just pottering around the house, cleaning out my fridge (since I won´t be eating most of the stuff in there anymore lol), doing laundry and just trying to keep myself busy. So far I had my porridge with apple, a huge cup of tea and currently working on my first pint of water. TOTM started yesterday, but besides cramps I am actually feeling quite good.

 

[kurstywursty]

Ah. I drink black tea. What about a little almond milk?

 

[sundown]

Not allowed that either unfortunately ?. It's literally just chicken, eggs, spinach or broccoli, clear soup, 3 small pieces of fruit and sugarfree squash.

Seems to be a very low carb pre-op diet

 

[MrsBeaver]

Pre op day has arrived! Wow, it is all happening.....Yesterday has been a lot easier foodwise. The proof will be in the pudding today tho when I am back at work.

Called my mum yesterday and told her about the surgery. She was surprisingly positive about it. At least now I dont have to worry when I go home for Christmas and eat a lot less lol.

Urgh, my butterflies are back. I hoe they go away again, at least until Friday haahha.

I got all worked up for my pre-op day and it turned out to be a simple blood test and a wee sample. You'll be fine

Sitting in the waiting room, bursting for a pee...hurry up nurse!!!!

Good luck Mrs B!!

 

[MrsBeaver]

Thanks Sophina! All went well....of course they couldn't find a vein, so took blood from my hands...yikes. The nurse was really lovely tho. Even got measured for my socks hahaha. That's a first!

Came back to work and had my porridge. Not really hungry yet, so will skip lunch for now and see how hungry I am and then have a shake. That way I can have chicken for dinner again! I am still amazed how quickly the body adjusts to this low intake of calories. It really is all in your head.

 

[MrsBeaver]

Today is the 20th.....op is on the 23rd....eeeek, another mini milestone! Lost another pound. I know I won´t keep this loss up, but I´ll take it while it lasts haha.

Cleared out my fridge and part of my pantry yesterday. All the naughty stuff is gone for now, my hubby nearly cried . He will just have to eat naughties when I´m at work or when he´s at work.

Got a slight headache this morning. No crazy pangs of hunger tho, just a little underlying hunger feeling which I am ignoring for now

 

[niccie]

Well done, 2 weeks from now you'll be glad you did it

 

[kurstywursty]

You probably will keep the weight loss up for a week or two yet x

 

[MrsBeaver]

I sure hope so! Couldnt face having another soup for dinner, so had porridge instead. 2 more days at work, 3 more nights sleeping on my stomach lol. I am dreading sleeping on my back, did you all find it easy to get used to?

 

[Anna1980]

Hi Mrs beaver I'm on day 15 post op and have been sleeping on my tummy for the past four nights xx

 

[MrsBeaver]

wooohooo, there is hope yet lol

 

[kurstywursty]

Only two more sleeps ;-)

 

[Loving the Loop]

Only two more sleeps ;-)

Thinking back, I don't remember getting much sleep myself in the days before the operation. It was more like 2 more lying in bed's wondering am I crazy ?

 

[MrsBeaver]

Surprisingly I am sleeping quite good at the moment. I think it is because I am cutting out all the crappy good and drink. Night be a completely different story tomorrow night right enough haha.
