Day 4 & 5 of Liquie Pre-Op Diet

Well, Day 4 was interesting. Here's what makes it funny...I have been doing this liquid diet all wrong.  While I have been drinking nothing but broth, water, G2 Gatorade, SF Jello, SF popsicles...appaently I can also have my protein powder with my almond milk. OMG...what the heck...here I have been "starving" myself because I thought all I could have was the other stuff. Wow, I feel sooooo foolish and dumb! My husband got a good laugh at it and my supervisor had a momentary chuckle with it (she had the Sleeve years ago, and is helping me get through this). So, after having a protein "shake" last night for dinner...I felt loads of energy return! In fact, it got bad enough that was talking non-stop, I realized it, and then told my husband, "you can tell me to shut-up if you want too. I wouldn't hold it against you." He just replied, "honey, this is the most energy you have had in a week. I am enjoying this lively side right now." So, I felt wonderful!

Day 5...today! Woke up, had a G2 gatorade with my meds, after finishing waited 30 min...actually ended up waiting an hour...but then I had my protein "shake". Rather quickly after drinking that I started to feel amazing...like I could take on the word. Or in this case, all of the drama and "crap" that comes with working where I do. But, I knew I can do it, and I was ready. 

I have refused to weigh myself right now. I know what I weighed when I started this liquid diet, but on the morning of my surgery...which is a day in a half away...I will then weigh myself again. Part of me really wants to do it right now, but another half doesn't want to see disappointment if I haven't lost a single pound. 

So, here's to a wonderful day 5 of this silly Liquid Diet...have a wonderful day everyone and God Bless!
