Okay.. Am I Weird Or Not?

Well.. here I am on Day 8 of the liquid diet.  All has been going really well.  But today.. Today I have NO DESIRE to have anything.  I have had to force myself to "eat" all day long.  Did anyone else get that way?   I know I have said this before, but I went into this 2 weeks thinking I was going to die of hunger.  However, that has not been the case.  Now.. a lot of prayer has been involved, and this has been almost too easy.   Yeah.. I'm probably crazy.  It could not be that MY body is getting used to not eating.  LOL

Jen- Gurl be prepared for all kinds of new and crazy cues from your body. I certainly did not understand what everyone was talking about, regarding taste change after surgery, not being hungry, etc..... I use to LIVE off D. Coke- now CAN"T STAND it! YUCK!!!!! Same with beer! Just doesn't taste the same and its not worth injesting the empty calories. On Sat I was busy cleaning house (insane eneregy level now) and I thought it was around 4pm and I looked at the clock and it was 6:55pm- not in the least bit hungry....Just drinking my Cyrstal Light, mopping, vacuming, cleaning closets, etc....totally oblivious to food or hunger. I am SOOOOO grateful and I thank God every time that happens. I no longer live to eat; it does not dominate my thoughts and its a blessing. Enjoy the new quirks and changes! Keep up the good work!

Wow.. I have seen an answer to prayer with my desire to eat.  It has been dwindling by the day.  Also.. Diet Coke.. I thought I would be craving them like crazy.  I have only thought about having one once.. LOL

I cannot wait to have that feeling, Congratulations on sticking to your plan so diligently! -Chareen

I don't think you are weird at all.  I believe that you are ready for a new way of life, and you have proved it right here.  I also did not have any problem with the liquid diet prior to surgery, or after for that matter.  I love the feeling of not being stuffed, as I usually was prior.  You will have a much better time after surgery, as you are used to the diet.

I have been feeling that this was a good way to prepare you for the "afterlife"..  I can certainly maintina eating like this, especially during the day.  I will not have a lot of time for lunch, so my plans are to sip protein shakes during work and actually eat at night.  Being a teacher does not give you the luxury of long lunches.. just summers off!  LOL

After 4 days on the liquid diet the thought of food made my stomach turn.... wait until your sense of smell gets heightened... everything was super smelly to me... I couldnt even go near the lunchroom at work... it was just yuck!!! If I saw anybody eating junk food (like mcdonalds) I would want to yak... it just looked so greasy nasty and smelly! Woo hoo we can be the weird ones together!

Well then.. we can start a club for weirdos.  LOL

Same here Jen, I am on day 6 of the liquids and have no desire for food whatsoever.  My mother in law was amazed last night that i could cook supper for my family and not want to eat.  There was no desire for it at all.  Yesterday I had to force myself to get in enough liquid because I just kept forgetting about it.  The best benefit though is that I am down 9lbs since Thursday and am off today to meet with the anesthesiologist WOO HOO!  We are almost there girl!  Hang in there!

You Go Pam!!  I have lost 8 pounds total.. but Aunt Flo is here so I suspect I have actually lost more.. :D   Let me know how your meeting went~
