pre-op liquid diet

Nov 29, 2009

They had me start on the night of Thanksgiving (let me eat dinner with the family  - as long as it was an early dinner).  So I have my protein powder, fat free yogurt is allowed, lots of water, tomato soup.  So today has been my second whole day.  A friend of mine showed up from out of town this weekend and was really looking forward to some fresh salmon for dinner (we're on the West Coast & she is from Indiana).  So we took her out to dinner, and for me we asked for one of their "special of the day" soups - only strained.  He looked at me..... ? Huh?  And rather than going into everything, my friend just said, "she can't chew".  So right away, he picked out his favorite soup, strained it, and brought it too me. 

The strained soup worked well.  It's important to me that I'm not whining to anyone else about this or drooling over anyone's baked potato's (although the fresh sourdough bread brought to the table about brought me to my knees).  But anyhow, I survived abstaining from pizza at a poker party Friday night (brought my protein drink to the poker game); survived chinese food family dinner Saturday night (strained egg flower soup); and took my friend out for a nice dinner tonight.  Today has definitely been more challenging than the last two days.  I need to look at why... It's definitely not real hunger.  I want to eat/chew & am thinking about why...
