No food and tears.....

I feel like such a pansy!!   I woke up this morning and I was starving! My stomach was growling really loud and cramping. Once I got up and got moving, it seemed to get better. I got to work and I had TONS of energy. Now, I have no energy and nothing seems to be helping to make me feel less hungry. I'm actually sitting here at my desk with tears running down my face because I can't eat. LOL...how obsurd is that???  Anyway, I could use some good thoughts today if you have a spare one. I'm really struggling today.

On an up note - 7 more days to go!

Hang on in there!  I feel very emotional too and actually cried in front of the receptionist at work (I'm her boss). Admittedly I have had some bad news in the past  24 hours, but usually I can control my emotions in public.  I'm on the same date as you. Not long to go now, I can hardly believe it!

Melissa,

Drink a ton of water.  Can you drink clear soup?  If so, something I did was go to a chinese place and ordered hot and sour soup with no tofu, meat or fish. I strained out the veges and man did it fill me up and satisfy me.

If you are on protein shakes or slimfast, chase each one with a huge glass of water.

Also, SpecialK makes a protein additive to water call protein and you can add it to water and protein will help to keep you full.

Just a couple suggestions.  Keep your eye on the prize you're going great and the losers bench is in site.

Big Hugs,
Barb

Thank you both for your support. I had a really emotional day today (that time of the month).  I got through the day without eating, and I'm feeling A LOT better this evening. It's great to know that there is so much support out here!! *hugs*

Thank you so much!

How you doing kid-o?

These last few days seem to DRAG on and on.

I'm hanging in there with the diet. The last few days have been a blur for me. I lost my mom yesterday and had all of my pre op testing today - so I've been too busy to think about food, just getting in my protien shakes...but I've decided not to postpone my surgery...it's not going to bring her back and she was so excited for me.

Oh my gosh.
Honey I'm so sorry.
Was this an unexpected loss?

Wow...good for you for going through with the surgery.
I know that she would of wanted that for you.

Keep your head up and rock on sis!!

I'm glad you got through your day and are feeling better!  Take it one day at a time and stay focused on the goal.  That's what I'm trying to do.  Best wishes to you!
