Day 3: This is not getting any easier

I AM HUNGRY! I AM HUNGRY! I AM HUNGRY I AM HUNGRY!

I'm trying to stay positive and remember this is MY CHOICE.  I know I'm not supposed to feel like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner, but I'm SO HUNGRY.  I'm drinking my shakes and getting in TONS and TONS of water.  I'm devouring my two servings of fruit and woofing down my one meal per day.  NOTHING IS TAKING AWAY THE HUNGRY HORRORS.

I've been told that it will begin to get better around Day 3.  It really doesn't seem that way at the moment.  Now I have a nasty little headache on top of my stomach growling and being REALLY dizzy.  I'm heading to a support group meeting tonight.  I plan to ask what I can add just to get me over the hump.

On a more positive and less whiny note I've received my very first award.  I wish that I wasn't so grumpy so I could really enjoy it.

Thank you Shea of Sugar Snap and ME! for this beautiful (and timely) mention.  I really appreciate it.  I going to get started on paying it forward tonight after my one meal.  That way I have a clear head and won't babble.

  4. Although I'm not at the pre-op diet phase of my journey, I can attest that after the 3rd day of not eating (or not eating much) it definitely gets easier. good luck!!! There's nothing worse that the dizzy-lizzies brought on by hunger.
