Fine. I admit it.

I suck. I have been starving since last night! My whopping 700 calories yesterday, I suspect.

Tonight instead of my Medifast meal I ate a side salad. Turkey, lettuce and italian dressing spritzer. I think it was all of 50 calories TOTAL, but holy crap do I feel better.

Also, all I freakin do is pee. LOL

Day 2/13

I didn't die during the night! ;) Thought I might for a while there, been a long time since I've gone to bed hungry. Or even BEEN hungry.

Scale this morning: 237.4

So, down 1.8 since yesterday. I could keep that pace for a while and not complain!

Soup Follow Up

Had the chicken and wild rice soup this evening... I'm a fan! I would definitely order that again. :)

Wish it were 11.5x bigger and chunkier, though.

Medifast - Day 1

In preparation for surgery, I have been put on a 2 week Medifast diet. The idea is to shrink the liver before surgery. Probably just giving up wine for 2 weeks would make my liver shrivel up and die, but they say I gotta do this.

I feel like I'm getting away with something as I'm really only going to be doing Medifast for 12 days rather than 14. I don't think I'll miss those extra 2 days, let me tell you.

FYI - The shakes are total ass. The oatmeal smells like death, but I guess is edible. The beef stew wasn't bad.

For the most part, the day has gone ok. Now that it's 5:50, though, I'm starving and might eat my desk. I get one more meal and one more snack. That will be a package of soup and a bar.

Oh, also, they put me on a diuretic for my outrageously high blood pressure. Between the peeing and the total lack of food, I damn well better lose some weight this week!

Starting weight on my scale (which I'll use as I have access to it more, rather than the dr's scale that is 3.5 hours away. Plus, I'm several pounds heavier on his!) this morning: 239.2

I need to lose just under 80 pounds. 90 would be even better. I'd be over the moon with 50.

Holla.

First Post!

I'm writing this fully fat. My hope is that I will never weigh THIS much again. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 12th.
