Today we celebrated my Son Braidleigh's 5th Birthday Party. He turned 5 December 10th but we waited till after the holiday's to celebrate. I woke up wondering how hard it was going to go be surrounded by fast food. I surprised myself it and it was not really that hard. Sure the smell of the fries when I was helping the kids get their meals set up made me want a bite, but I want this more than I want any food. I think the hardest part about this not eating part is remembering not to taste the when I'm cooking for the kids. I ate one macaroni noodle today by accident and it stuck in my throat, it felt weird to have something solid in my throat. I can't describe the feeling it was just weird. It makes me wonder how weird it will be to have solid food in a month from now. Yes I know i just said weird 3 times now 4 times in the last 3 sentences. I'm doing fabulous with the shakes now that I'm adding PEPPERMINT EXTRACT, its my new best friend!! ALL AND ALL DAY 7 EASIEST BY FAR!!!
Day 8
I worked a 12 hour shift today and the day started out great I jumped on the scale when I got there and I have lost 15 lbs in one week while on opitfast. If I was not in the nursing station full of ppl I would probably of done a happy dance. lol ... I did have to take a picture tho so I could share it with all of you (that is if anyone is actually reading this) on my weigh in post. I drank a shake for Breakfast and then again at lunch it took about 2 hours to drink my lunch shake. I'm not gonna lie today breakfast at work smelled really good. I never thought toast and bacon smelt so good. On the other hand I was not hungry at the time so it didn't really bother me not to have some. After work when I got home was a different situation When I walked in to the house it smelled like optifast and that made my stomach turn. Idk it might all just be in my head. I think I'm getting a bit sick of mint. I think I need to come up with something to mix it up a bit. 6 more days to go and I'm not sure I can do 3 mint shakes 3 times a day. Don't get me wrong like I said yesterday they are pretty yummy but 3 times a day is a lot. Other wise I am feeling pretty good. I'm a bit emotional I seem to tear up easily, but I'm actually surprised that I'm not more of a basket case this close to surgery. Only 6 days and a few hours left, till I start my new life. This is my year to Shine Baby!!!
Day 9
Today I thought I would give another flavour of extract in my shake! Bad idea!!! Really bad idea. I made an almond shake and it was terrible I think I may of put to much in but it was so strong I couldn`t have more than one sip. I didn`t end up having a shake until about 11 am and it took me about 2 hours to get it down.. That almond just turned my stomach. I did drink a lot of H20 today which kept me pretty full. However my stomach sounded like an orchestra pretty much all day. I also found that all food smelled amazing today. Even the food they serve at work which is does not usually appeal to me. I jumped on the scale first thing when I got to work and I was down another 2lbs bringing my total to 17lbs. I`m still so amazed to see this weight coming off to fast. I can not wait to see my results after surgery.
