Day 5 of the Pre-Op Liquid Diet

Sep 16, 2012

Day five went great! I woke up at 6 to go volunteer at Hearts and Hammers. I got there at 7:30 and qorkd until 2:30. I realized how out of shape that I am. I was on my feet for almost the entire time we were there. I scraped paint, scraped burglar bars and primed the house. It was tough work but so very rewarding. I came home aching in places that I did not even know coul ache. I ate my soup and took a 2 hour nap. This is something my company does every September. I hope that next year I wil be 100 pounds lighter when I am volunteering. Food was provided for the entire volunteer team. YUMMY smelling chicken strips, mashed potatoes with gravy, cole slaw and dinner rolls. I was so proud of my will power today. But, I did eat the minute I got home. I was starving by then!

I noticed that today, it took so little soup each time I ate to fill me up. I felt like if I had eaten an entire can of soup, I would have been sick to my stomach. That is so weird to me. My appetite is usually killer. I guess it is helping me conceptualize how little food it will take post-op to fill me up.
