Day #5 on liquid diet

Nov 19, 2010

Well today marks day #5 on the liquid diet and I am pleased to say that I have not been hungry once.  I have been having a protein shake for breakfast, soup/broth for a morning snack, soup for lunch, and then a shake and soup for dinner.  I do notice a HUGE decrease in energy.  Sitting at my desk right now I am literally exhausted.  I am taking a multivitamin and calcium with vitamin D as recommended but I am still so tired.

I took my son to the grocery store this morning and he got 2 fresh hot donuts.  In the car as I was drinking my yummy Muscle Milk I looked over as caught a whiff of the sweet smell of the donuts and my eyes immediately filled up with tears.  I almost cried over his donuts.  He looked at me and said "don't cry mom because if you cry you will make me cry".  That is the first time that I have wanted something that I couldn't have.  I wanted that donut LOL but instead I took another drink of my muscle milk and resisted the temptation.  

Next week is both Thanksgiving and my birthday so I am a little worried.  They do have no sugar added birthday cake ice cream...maybe I can make me a shake for my bday and I have the sugar free Davinci syrup in Pumpkin Pie flavor that I have been saving for Thanksgiving.  I am hoping if I can stay out of the house and busy I won't be too miserable on either day.  Surgery is next Monday so I am super excited to get this over with so I can move on to the next phase in my life.
