Feeling Really Fat

Feb 27, 2013

I got my date (3/26) about a week ago and I have pretty much been doing nothing to maintain my current weight. I am not having any (what I saw someone else say) "Food Funerals" for things, I've just stopped doing anything. And since then, I am feeling SOOOO FAT. Yes, I always felt fat and I know that maybe it sounds weird, but really I feel really fat. I'm bloated, my pants are tight, my ankles are swollen and my joints hurt worse than normal. I've probably gained 10 pounds too. My doctor doesn't require a 2 week liquid diet;, but I'm seriously considering it right now. His only instruction for a diet was to make sure that I ate a normal smaller meal the night before surgery. The paperwork does say that I should be trying to eat smaller meals, chew more, drink more but not during meals, and try to drink no sooner than 30 minutes before or after a meal. I've got to do something though. Since he has not said anything about a liquid diet I have no idea how to do one so that I don't make myself sick. I guess I'll research that. Google should have plenty of info on it.
