Liquids Only - Day one!

Nov 30, 2010

Laptop isn't working correctly, so I'm logging this from work... the actual date of this entry should have been Monday, November 29th.

Woke up on time this morning and weighed myself... I gained 4.5 lbs since November 11th!  Wow, I surely did enjoy the foods I ate prior to my prep for the surgery.  Today, is day one... liquids only... so I drank my  usual crystal light lemonade while getting ready for work, then drank a Chocolate Cream Myoplex for breakfast... not so bad... Chocolate Cream tastes like chocolate milk to me!  Lunchtime, I walked with a friend to Smoothie King... there is only ONE smoothie that I can drink pre-surgery that has 5g of sugar or less... and well, lets just say I wasn't that adventurous to try it... Instead, I opted for another Myoplex... this time, I tried Cookies & Cream... well... lemme tell ya... its just not as good as the Chocolate Cream... I could only drink half.. (which was fine, since the whole thing had FORTY TWO grams of protein).  So, I saved the other half for lunch on Tuesday.  Dinner was Unjury vanilla with skim milk... WOAH, skim milk has more than 5g of sugar too... UGHHH.  I will definately check to see if that is ok to drink pre-surgery.  i also sipped some beef broth for the feeling of an actual meal.  (if broth from a coffee mug is a meal! LOL)

Anywhoo... the day was a success!  Easy to deal with.  It helped that it was a crazy day at work too... so I was mighty busy.

I'm so very excited about the surgery... and my new life!!!

I have noticed, I don't think I'm drinking quite as much water as I was before, but will definately keep better track of that.
That's all for now!!

Total protein for the day: 74 grams!!
