OMG I have to pee!
So today was the first day of my liquid diet. I had every intention of weighing myself and measuring myself this morning and forgot, so that will begin tomorrow. However let me share my "interesting" day.
How many of you have ever been on a liquid diet? Even for 1 day? OMG! I think I spent most of my day in the bathroom at work than actually working! I will say this, I don't mind the protein shakes. I drank 4; 8oz. servings of protein shakes, 1 half cup serving of sugar free pudding, 1 half cup serving of sugar free Jello, and 8 oz. of really tasty organic free range chicken broth. If you need to be on liquids only, you MUST spend the money on the good broth. SO worth it.
I did find myself lightheaded for a portion of the day today, which is scary. I'm hoping that as time goes on I get better at measuring what I need and what I don't. I'm told that will come with time. Additionally, I NEED to begin the process of writing down everything that goes into my mouth. This is going to take some time, but I'm hoping that I can master this in 2 weeks by my surgery date.
On that note....I'm off to get to the bathroom! Liquids go right through you!
UPDATE: I forgot to metion. Todays weight is 295lbs. Check out the video above.

Linz, you'll adjust to the liquid diet. I couldn't eat solids for three months last year (I was assaulted and had about sixteen major fractures in my face and skull) and I lived on Jamba Juice. It will take some adjustment and you will lose weight, but be confident that you can give your body all the nutrition it needs if you're focused about it. The blender is your friend, and mixing whey protein with fresh/frozen fruits is a good move too. It's weird for sure, but after a while you'll start feeling pretty good. Take advantage of the opportunity to get all the nasties out of your body! Enjoy the juice! And when you're feeling down, seek guidance from the Courage Wolf.

just a little side item... ummm... i've got a lot of 360 games... at some point you should take a look through them and see if there's something you want to borrower... cuz I imagine you'll want something to keep you entertained during your recovery :P
I was watching the video going, "Yay Lindsay!". Then, "OOOOO! LUNA!" =)

Hey! I just wanted to let you know I've been following along, and wanted to commend you for being brave enough to share your story with everyone. It's not easy! It's a very interesting process and I'm learning a lot about gastric bypass I never knew! Thanks for sharing, congratulations on taking this step, and best of luck on your surgery. My mom and I are thinking of you. Will continue to follow along to see how you're doing!
