Halfway

As I was complaining to my good friend Brandy (and everyone else around me), she said that after today I will be halfway through my starvation period. That's the new name for it.

Today I have been super hungry. I can't seem to get full. It's tough. But, I haven't cheated. I am going to have a drink of my protein shake in a little bit to tide me over until I can deal with having more broth. It's really getting old. I never thought 4 ounces of protein shake would fill me up, but it keeps me somewhat sustained and keeps me from hiding in my car with a huge box of donuts.

I keep thinking that the hospital will call me and say "the joke is over, you can start eating again!" but I won't hold my breath for that. 

Just over five more days to go. I am going to be so hungry when I go in for surgery that I will probably just pass out from lack of food and starvation, they won't even have to use anesthesia on me.

I have realized that I have a lot of people who are supporting me through this. I have received text messages, phone calls, and encouraging words from my friends and family. I am so thankful for that and I am so thankful for them.
