Made it — seriously this has been hard — today is the first day I truly was on my liquid diet. Over the past 4 weeks, I’ve been doing mostly liquid via SlimFast. My exceptions have been SlimFast bars and various forms of protein. Before the surgery was scheduled, I did have a few days where I did a bit more than that, but have stuck to SlimFast \/ protein since Friday and each day of the four weeks the quantity was less. And I am eating MUCH less than I usually do, both volume and calories.<\/p>\n
Surgeon did seem okay with that yesterday\tbut did urge me to get 100% on track. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home from the appointment and picked up popsicles and different times of pre-made stock and that has REALLY helped. <\/p>\n
I was okay during the school day though had a few minutes during lunch when going down for a piece of chicken sounded good, but managed not to.<\/p>\n
This evening I’ve alternated between stock, Crystal Light and popsicles. Am also doing some Special K Protein water. So I only have 6 days of preSurgery diet to go. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) – 2 days of clear liquids, 12 days back to the liquid diet and then can start adding some food. <\/p>\n
Yes, I’m counting.
