Unexpected Change (5 days and counting...)

Mar 17, 2009

Hey OH Family,

Well I had some unexpected changes.  I actually starting getting really sick from my liquid diet.  I thought I was doing well because I wasn't dying of hunger, but I had a constant headache.  I woke up crazy sick on my birthday just feeling all out of sorts, so I took my blood pressure and my blood sugars both were through the ROOF  . The sodium content of the protein shakes mixed with the sodium content of the soup (even low sodium soup) made me sick.  Then the protein spiked my blood sugers. So I made it through Sunday and called my dietician the next day, she took me off liquids and put me on something called  LEAN & GREEN . 

Bottom line it's food.  I do a protein shake for breakfast, water vegetable for lunch, and a water vegetable and lean protein for dinner.  With 4 more days I can manage that and I FEEL  SOOOOOO much better. Headaches gone for the first time in six days.  Tonight I had my first meal sauteed spinach (no butter, no oil) and a broiled chicken breast (YUMMY).

I'll check back soon.
