Day 8

Okay, it's been 8 days on the starvation diet and I am doing great!  Well, sorta...Last night I was ready to cheat, I mean seriously really ready to just rip open a bag of potato chips and just stick my head into the bag!!

Before I was on this diet I didn't really eat too many chips, but I did have a few now and then.  My biggest weakness is hot Cheetos - yum!  Anyways Demona was eating a few chips and I could smell them from across the room, and finally my mind snapped and I was like "Okay enough chips go to bed!!!".

Another weird thing is the weight shift, I am constantly, for the last 2 days, shifting between 231 and 230 lbs.  Either way I am happy, I am half way through and half way to my goal so alls well!!

I know I am not supposed to, but I have been weighting myself 2 or 3 times a day just to see how my weight fluctuates throughout the day.  It's actually really neat to be going through this, torturing but neat.  I have not heard my stomach grumble in years and years, but boy oh boy has it been grumbling lately!!

I also find my stomach feels empty and I feel lighter, not sure if thats in my mind or it's an actuality but it's also another neat feeling.  And you know by neat I mean I AM STARVING!!! lol

I am starting to get nervous about the actual surgery.  I have been reading other peoples' blogs about this surgery and I have read some pretty scary stuff.  Like if you don't lose enough fat from around your liver there is a danger that you will have bleeding.  One girl wrote about how she was in the hospital for 3 days after the surgery because of the bleeding and afterwards had to take some shots for blood thinning (I have no idea why you would want to thin your blood if you are bleeding, but umm yeah it's an online blog, not a doctors notes lol).

I really want to avoid any type of complication so I am going to keep on trying as hard as I can to lose as much weight as I can during this OptiYuk diet!

More later..
