Battling the liquid diet......

Jan 17, 2010

It's day 6 and I'm still holding strong  with the liquid diet. Even through the Raven's game last night when my husband and the kids ate steamed shrimp, mussels, and 4 kinds of chicken. I had my lil' cup of split pea soup and fought back the tears. LOL  It is getting a little easier though. The protein shakes make me full. This morning, I had a pack of oatmeal and couldn't even finish the bowl. I had a cup of greek yogurt and it wasn't bad at all. Tomorrow I will try cottage cheese.  Wish me luck. I am in no pain. I do notice that when I sit for a period of time, the area where my port is sticks out a little bit. It goes down after I lay down, but I will definantly ask the Dr. about that. No significant changes, but my face appears slimmer in the chin area. I don't know. A few people have asked me am I happy now? My answer to them is.........ask me in June. I will not subject myself to an answer that will be the total opposite in 6 months. Until the next time.......
