Well, this is the beginning of my fourth day on the liquid diet and I thought I was going to die last night. I work the night shift and when I woke up it felt like I was trying to lift a 50lb weight off the pillow. My head was killing me and I can't take my beloved Excedrin migraine!! boohoo It must be the dreaded withdrawal from sugar/carbs. The hunger isn't quite as bad, but I'm not too optimistic about that continuing for another week!! haha For the protien shakes, I've been using Atkins Advantage & SlimFast low carb. I tried the Myoplex something or other (the one with the most protein) and I nearly barfed! Gross!!! Sipping on my crystal light and had to cut out coffee, as I use too much sugar & creamer. That really hurts when you work the night shift! As you can see, I still have not put a picture on here. I'm working on it; my computer is a piece of crap and I've got to figure out how to do it. After I get off work this morning, I'm going for my pre-op stuff. I'm beginning to feel nervous. Everyone's excited for me and keeps asking me questions. I hope their excitement and encouragement will continue. Even though nervous, I'm looking forward to being a big "LOSER"!!
