The Liquid Diet-First Day Dec.23 2008

Dec 23, 2008

  Started my 2 week pre-op liquied diet yesterday. Let me just say that I was really surprised how hard it was to get in all my fluids and protein! I didn't even get that hungry, but of course it was only the first day. It consisted of Unjury chocolate protein drinks (2).Low fat Cream of chicken soup put in a blender, organic potato leek soup, unjury chicken soup and jello. The unjury products were actually pretty good. I had to add seasoning to the potato soup though. It was very bland. (less salt than the cream of chicken) I ended up getting about 70 grams of protein and 64ounces of fluids(water, diet snapple). I consumed a total of 880 calories. I am required to consume 60-80grams of protein and 1000 or less calories a day. 
  I also started back on the treadmill and weightlifting. I had stopped doing that for over a month now due to stress with a death in the family, etc. Always hard to start back once you quit. I don't recommend it, but we are human and sometimes life gets in the way. That is one of the main reasons for having the surgery...I can lose the weight but lose focus fast when other events take over in my life. Always gain it back. I had gained 10lbs back of the 36 I had lost. Hopefully with this liquid diet I will lose those again and more. We'll see.
