Tired

Hi everyone, I just need to pop in and say that I am tired. Tired physically and tired of eating liquid food, knowing that solid food is still three weeks away. I get to go to pureed food on Monday. Yippeeeeee. I made three meetings this week. Today was a women's topic meeting that I had never been to before. The women were very friendly and welcoming. I am nine days away from getting my five year coin. I look forward to that. So, I am just checking in to say I am sober, and tired of boring liquid diet. Thank God my liquid diet does not include the alcoholic kind of liquid. Hugs, Trish

tri****hat is awesome! what an acomplishment! i'm so proud of you. i come from a family of alcoholics, and only one of them can say they are actually sober. keep up the great work!!

congrats on your sobriety and the eating will get easier. this surgery is not an easy thing and it does suck getting started. the end results are awesome and it will be worth the trip. good luck!!

Trish, Hang in there! The liquid phase was so hard for me. I just got to pureed yesterday. I had to keep telling myself, "just make it through today" and know that all the footwork I had put in, I was not going to screw this surgery up now. So just hang in here. You can do anything, except stop breathing, for 24 hours at a time! By now, hopefully you have only 3 more 24 hour periods left until your 5th birthday! That is awesome! Just keep making it One day at a time!!!!! I truly belive that being sober before having this surgery is helping me tremendously with dealing with the reality of the surgery. Not only do I have the told of the 12 steps to walk me through, but I have the support of my sponsor and AA family members too! Plus, the added bonus was how very little pain medication I ended up using. The less drugs, the faster the recovery. Its definately an added help with the healing process! Let us know when you hit the 5th birthday!
