Day 3

Well, it is official...I am cranky.  I went into this with a great positive attitude, but not feeling very positive at the moment.  My sister told me about the slogan H.A.L.T. that she learned from a friend.  It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired.  You are supposed to stop and think about why you are having a hard time...gee, I am all of the above.  I had no clue just how difficult this was going to be...the liquid diet.  And I have 7 more days of this?  I am crabby, emotional, pissed off one minute~crying the next...I am like a starving menopausal woman.  It just occurred to me that I really did not know what being hungry really was like until now.  When you can hear your stomach growling loudly yelling at you to put something in it.  As terrible as this is, I have to think this must be what it would be like for poor and homeless people.  If I was hungry like this that often I would hurt somebody.  I am not a violent person...but this sucks.  I am normally a positive person, but did I say, this sucks?
I am not nervous about the surgery at all...I am however nervous about the duration of this damn liquid diet.
Hmmm, 3 down, 7 to go.  Keep charging ahead.  I will do this, I can do this, I am a strong woman...I am a bitch right now though ;)

Tomorrow is the big day...btw, lost 3 more lbs~that is 6.5 in 2 days.

Peace and Health,
Melissa
