Confessions of a liquid dietposted 10/17/11 10:01 pm
Ok, so i FREAKED the FLIP out Monday morning!
I had my pre surgical appt today. I had lost 13 pounds in 13 days, had some bathroom issues, will power issues and gained 5 back. I was waiting for my dr to open so i could cancel my appt and reschedule for next week. Hoping to give myself some more time to get it together. I had a major attack of nerves realising that I was only 2 weeks away from surgery and felt like a hot crying mess! My friend saw my panicked facebook post and called me at 7:30 this morning. She had surgery 2 years ago and gave me a huge pep talk, I cried and confessed that i had cheated on my skim milk diet and although I had nothing but skim milk for 9 days i faltered. She told me that she realised over the weekend that i had 2 weeks left and figured I was flipping out. Assured me that it is normal and lots of people flip out at this point, it is a huge change! also reminded me that i had lost 65 pounds so I wasnt a total failure and had even lost a net of 8 the last 2 weeks. So i got a grip. At first the milk was ok but then it was making me really dizzy and nauseous. Then i started being unable to go to the bathroom and stopped losing and actually gained a few back. I kept craving protein! Day 10= a chicken breast Day 11= a hard boiled egg Day 12=a low fat peanut butter and sugar free jelly, hoped the grainy bread would "move" things! Day 13=a weight watchers ravioli meal I was convinced my surgeon would cancel my surgery and I was screwed and the worst person ever. Well my friend talked me off the ledge and I went to my appt. My Dr. was ok with my weight loss. She helped with alot of my nervousenss and was very supportive. I told her how I had been craving protein and the milk makes me shaky and dizzy and nauseous, She said to stop my metformin the milk was making me hypoglycemic. She said I could add some protien powder, thank God!! I mixed my skim milk with 2 scoops of powder in a big jug for the day. i am drinking less milk to equal the amount of calories it adds. I could kick myself, even a couple of bites of food makes it really hard to get back on the liquids completely. so here I go again, the 3-4 days of suffering before my brain stops having a tantrum. i call this day 2 take 2 of total liquids, I did it before, I can do it again! Besides I learned a valuable lesson. You can't have a Peanut butter and jelly pity party every time the scale doesn't go your "weigh". That is how I got in this mess in the first place. 0 Responses to "Confessions of a liquid diet"2 commentsSign in to comment! Login Now. << Blog Home |
