Harder Than I Thought

Feb 12, 2009

Day one (yesterday) of the pre-op diet proved to be a challenge!  I was (and still am)  hungry with a capital H!  I didn't like the salad I made for myself for lunch so I didn't eat it all.  I munched on carrots throughout the day, but that got old real quick.  I am using a sugar substitute Nevella in my tea and I think it makes me thirstier and kind of "cotton-mouthed."  Maybe I will get used to it.  I like the chocolate protein shake, but not crazy about the vanilla.  I am thinking that this is going to be a l-o-n-g two weeks of trial and error.  Today I will actually have time to cook my veggies - gonna try roasting them with a little bit of olive oil cooking spray and seasonings.  One highlight was that my stepdad, who is amazing, made me escarole soup (without the meatballs, of course) yesterday and that was really yummy.

It was difficult to smell the steak my husband cooked for dinner cooking and then watch him and my son eat it.  The only thing that comforted me there was that it was rib eye steak and I really don't like that (too fatty.)  But the oreo cookies and tastycakes that were around here were looking quite good as was the hershey bar my husband ate.  then he left the wrapper for me to clean up!  insensitive?!  proabably just thoughtless.  either way.....

One co-worker tried to "talk me out of it" and was pretty negative.  One reason why I didn't want to tell anyone at work until afterwards.  I really don't need any negativity during this time.


I am thinking I will probably spend a lot of time in my bedroom alone praying for strength, maybe crying a bit too.  I am feeling weepy these days, but then again I am a pretty emotional person.

Ok - good things to focus on:  1. I made it through day one! 2. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. 3. I lost another 2 lbs!
