Before Pics

We are on Day 5 of the liquid diet and I can honestly say that things have gotten 100% better. My energy is not as low (still have to take breaks during the day though), I’m not as distracted by the hunger, and I’ve kinda gotten in a groove with the drinks.

I’ve been weighing myself everyday. Not for any reason really but just to be in awe of how quickly your body burns fat when you are in an extreme calorie deficit. So far, I’m down about 8lbs since Friday of last week. I’ve noticed that my once very tight waist beads are falling a little below my belly button now. I’m still pretty low energy if I don’t stick to my feeding schedule (yes, I feel like a damn baby with how often I need to eat lol) but my energy is definitely not as low as when I first started.

I’ve got a pre-op appointment this week that I’m excited about. I dream about walking into that appointment and him saying “oh Miss Walker, I’m so sorry, we made a mistake! You can actually eat real food during this time - you don’t have to fast.” I know that’s not gonna happen but a girl can dream! Lol. Anyway, I’m making a list of questions to ask at that appointment and looking forward to it.

I never took “before” pictures - I don’t know why, though. I guess I’m just not really all that excited at this time. I’m just really focused on not giving into the perpetual hunger that I feel. But, yesterday, I took a few and despite the fact that I’m in my underwear…I’m going to share them here.

I just don’t want y’all to see how awkward my damn face was lmao.

There you have it. The last time Firenza will be 300+ anything. I promise to myself that I will never let my weight impact my health ever again.
