pre-op diet

Jun 29, 2012

Well, it is day 2  of the liquid protein shake 2 week regimen. Yesterday was not fun and I had a headache by bedtime. My blood sugar has been pretty low and I am making some adjustments  on my insulin pump. Today was a little better. I am trying hard not to focus on what I cannot have.I am learning which protein shakes I like. I had a peach orange one yesterday that was quite good.The GNC chocolate Lean Shake has been my standby even before these past 2 days,but  I was giving that one a rest for a few days to try some others.The Pure Protein chocolate is pretty good.Warm Chicken broth is very soothing as is herb tea.
Have been thinking hard about my relationship to food,the social aspects of food related activities that must change forever. My husband  and I really need to find some new activities to enjoy together other than eating out! Most of our friends also choose this for any get together as well. Really tough stuff.I have to learn to love me more than the food I won't be eating. It's just that I really enjoy planning meals, cooking and eating! This is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I hope it will be worth it. One thing is for sure, I never realized how many people care about me and my wellbeing until recently. Quite a revelation.
