Ozempic: ⟫ 1 mg | Pre-op Diet:⟫ Day 9

I’m positively RAGING as Amazon has removed every single one of my reviews (book or otherwise) and banned me from leaving any further reviews. They claim I had an email stating that I had breached community guidelines but I can’t find the email. Chatted with a bot, then a person, and they couldn’t find anything but basically I can’t review anything on Amazon any longer. I have half a mind to cancel my Amazon Prime because I am so pissed off.

I had my dietetic preoperative group assessment meeting this afternoon and both Stripes and Gidget sat in with me to make sure that we remembered to ask all of the questions we had. It was basically going over what the pre-op diet should consist of, provide them with an update regarding my weight and a quick overview of what will happen from now on. We got the answer about taking meds after the op (slowly over the course of the day), and I discovered that if I wanted to, I could do the pre-op diet using two shakes per day plus a 300 cal meal. I wish I hadn’t heard that because my brain just heard ‘we can have solid food’ and didn’t take much notice of the 300 cal, high protein low carb aspect of things. I also found out that it’s unlikely that I’ll be continuing to use Ozempic after the surgery unless something unexpected occurs. So our questions were answered and it’s back to business as usual.

I’m feeling very unsettled today. Possibly because I still have a very upset stomach – the flatulence is unreal and the discomfort is making me very unhappy. I guess I can just see it as a preview to how things might be after the operation but yeah, feeling a mite miserable. I think I’m just gonna curl up with some books, do some reading, and then write reviews where I’m actually allowed to. I have also contacted Amazon as I said above and will wait to hear back from them because that is some bullshit.

Pre-Op Day 2

Ozempic: ⟫ 1 mg | Pre-op Diet:⟫ Day 2

Peanut butter shakes are not all that they are cracked up to be. Initially, the smell is nice – definitely smell the peanut butter – but the taste leaves something to be desired and is just off. I have an upset stomach which I guess is all of the food I ate over the course of the last week – burst piles was not the way I wanted to go into November, but here I am. I have my germoloid ointment and try to take it easy when I go to the bathroom – less straining, less pain hopefully.

Not a lot going on today which is good because I am feeling the results of the flu jab yesterday. I just want to sleep. I made myself get up, have done my squardle and read/wrote a book review (although not for the ARC I received the other day). It was a re-read but I had forgotten enough of it for it to be a nice read and I hadn’t written a review before so did that.

Mini-NaNoWrimo is on again so I’m going to try to write at least 200 words per day in November. That should act as a distraction when the food thoughts take over. It’s 6.30 and I have only had one shake so I need to get another three in before I go to bed – I need to work on the timings of when I eat.

Stripes found more Rio at Asda (yehah) and I find that pouring the cans into a 1.5 litre bottle means that I drink more, so win-win. She also got me some sparkling water so that I can use the water flavourings I bought from theKeeDiet and that will definitely help get my water intake up.

So the plan is to check in here every day, write at least 200 words, log my weight and basically keep myself distracted from the fact that no solid has passed my lips in nearly two days! Only another 26 days to go!
