Pre-Op Diet - Day Two

May 28, 2013

Today was a bit more challenging at some times.  I waited till 9:30 am to have my protein shake.  But I started to get a headache later on.  I decided to take some Tylenol.  Thankfully, it helped.  I had my lunch shake around 3pm again.  I had moments where I felt the hunger pangs...where I wanted something to eat.  To forget the pangs, I kept working.  I thought about going to get a piece of string cheese from the fridge but then I didn't want to eat it.  I wanted to keep going and not think about it. 

I had my first water aerobics class outside at the big pool today.  It's my second summer at the outdoor pool.  I worked hard the entire time pushing and pushing myself.  Everytime I got tired, I just tried to keep reminding myself that the bigger picture is so worth it.  Keep going.  Keep going.

This evening after class I came home and was hungry...no headache thank goodness.  I re-read a part of my manual about we can eat certain things in addition to or in place of protein shakes.  Meat, Cheese, Eggs, Nuts, etc.  I needed something to help me with the hunger.  I called my Mom and talked to her about it.  I felt bad for wanting something and thinking of fixing something...but Mom reminded me I've read this manual, I know I can have it...it's okay to have it.

So I took some fat free cooking spray and sprayed the pan, took some raw turkey burger and added Italian Seasoning Spice. I cut off a couple segments of mozzarella cheese and put ontop the burgers.  I slowly ate it, letting everything have time to get to where it needs to go.  I can do this...another day down...
