Done with Phase 1 pre op diet!

Nov 03, 2009

Today i finish phase 1 of pre op diet.  Low Low fat, no sugar, no meat, etc.  Tomorrow I start Phase II, clear liquids for 5 days!

I lost 8 pounds!  I feel really good, and it has not been as hard as i thought it would be.  Before, when i was trying to do these kind of diets, i would cheat all the time. I would reason my way, into taking a little of this and a little of that, ance once again blow it!

Yesterday my work had a large lunch, with all kinds of food, the only thing i could really eat was the lettuce with a little chicken, and no dressing, everything else was so off limits.  People kept asking me if it was hard to be around all that food.  I said no, cause when you are doing something as a big commitment, and it is for your surgery, and you know all sorts of thing are changing, it is part of a big plan, and it isn't that hard.  I know where i am going, and I know how to get there.  I know all this hard work is going to pay off.  With other diets, i was never really sure, if this time it would work, so i was more likely to cheat...

The one thing i miss a whole bunch is coffee in the morning.  I used to get up, and strong coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 and drink that until 10:00 then maybe have something for breakfast. 

Dont' know how coffee is going to fit into my routine after surgery, maybe months down the road i will be able to  have a little bit with fat free 1/2 and 1/2...

on to the next phase....
