Liquid Diet - Day 1
Oct 03, 2011
Liquid diets were something I never tried. I never got on the Optifast wagon. I really never did a drastic diet. I did things like Weight Watchers, counted calories and probably most extreme (for me) was Adkins.My surgeon requires all of his patients to do a liquid diet for two weeks ahead of surgery. I'm on day one and I'm not liking it. Were you surprised? No, I imagine you weren't. I had switched to eating "healthier" and actually cutting back on salt like crazy when my blood pressure starting going up and I did well in the fact that I did loose 8lbs before my official weigh-in for the nutritionist. BUT I got used to having an evening snack of either low salt crackers with a spoonful of sour cream or a 1/2 of peanut butter sandwich. I'm having issues with that RIGHT now.
I wish I could do the "slim fast" way and have shakes for breakfast and lunch...easy for me. Then a sensible dinner. I love dinner time. I love cooking and making and eating food. Of course that sensible dinner might turn into a sorta-sensible dinner and then another night it's a not-so-sensible dinner with promise of a sensible dinner tomorrow. That is, of course how I got here time and time again.
Anyhow I'm mostly venting at the moment to get my mind off of the food, my evening snack.
And now it's officially 1 day closer to the surgery...Oct 17th.
Keeping my eye on the prize!!
