Pre-Op Day 6 and Stem Milk Shake

Ozempic: ⟫ 1 mg | Pre-op Diet:⟫ Day 6

Last night, we tried making a shake using Stem Milk from cleaning my Mighty vape. I was hoping it would help me sleep and it just seemed like a good experiment to undertake – similar to when we made edibles.

The Stem Milk worked well – I was absolutely flying but for some reason, it also meant that I only had three shakes yesterday instead of four. I know that I need to make sure that I get in all of my shakes and water, so will be keeping a track on that today.

Yesterday saw the return of the choccy waterfalls as I used to call them when I was doing the Cambridge diet over two decades ago. I suffered through three bouts before deciding that Immodium was needed. To be fair, that may have added to the lack of desire for a fourth shake and also explain why the scales didn’t really move over night. Not that I have room to complain – in the five days I have been following the pre-op diet, I have lost over 3 kg. I have always struggled with retaining water and I want to be sure that I don’t let that mess with my head in terms of the scales – using Immodium does cause me to hold onto water and that will be why the scales didn’t drop.

Fortunately, no return of the waterfalls today so fingers crossed that was just my body adapting to the liquid diet and getting rid of the last of whatever was inside me with the Ozempic.

I don’t think I’m planning on doing any writing today – two blog posts is enough – but I will settle down to do some reading so that I have a book review to write tomorrow. My aim for today is to try to finish at least half of the bottle of water flavourings that Stripes made for me and get in my four shakes.
