My quilt is finished and I feel like I'm starving

Jun 28, 2014

I finished my surgery quilt yesterday (pics posted in photo album). This was very therapeutic for me because it tells my story of my fight with obesity, I'm calling it "Weighing in". From The top left, going left to right is the symbol for infertility, a polycystic ovary, lungs. Row 2 Live, symbol for Triglycerides, CPAP mask. Row 3 heart, symbol for depression, brain. Row 4 heart rhythm, symbol for diabetes and lastly the RNY.

I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet of 2 shakes and 1 lean and green meal. My stomach is growling all the time and for the first time since I started this process I am struggling to maintain my willpower. I hope this gets better soon. Maybe I should start a new sewing project to distract me.
