Liquid Diet Woes.
Dec 02, 2011
So, day 5 is almost over; we're looking at 9 more days till I get in that car for my ride to the hospital. I'm beyond excited. I'm not scared at all. I fear absolutely nothing! The only fear I have at this point is to go back to where I was. Liquid diet is not fun. Let's be totally honest. I hate it. I want to chew, I want to swallow substance. I've been dieting for about 8 months now, so it's not the bad food I'm craving. I made my famous 'Friday Night Salad' for my family today and I swear I could have eaten the whole bowl. Salad and I are good friends, we have been for years. They're not fattening salads either, I don't use creamy dressings or hardly any oil. Something about red onions, tomatos, crisp iceburg, and some cucumbers is just extremely appetizing to me. Popsicles, Jello, and shakes are getting old.. verrrry quickly. Actually, I don't know if this is 'cheating' but I bought some all natural peppermint extract and coconut extract. I put a drop or two in my shakes.. and it changes it up a bit. I can't imagine this hurting me. I wrote my surgeon's office.. we'll see what they say (: Broth is probably my favorite thing. It's the only 'non-sweet' thing I can have.On a side note, hardly anyone knows about all of this. I have the support of my immediate family and closest friends. Everyone else, I just want to be a show stopper for. I don't plan on seeing most of the people I'd tell for awhile anyway. Im not saying I'd hide the fact that I've had surgery.. I just don't want to take the chance of taking on negative vibes while I'm feeling so positive about it. As far as I'm concerned.. the weight is disappearing, and that's what matters, right ? (: Have a good weekend.
