PRE-OP DIET

May 04, 2010

Well, I'm five days into my pre-op diet.  I am using Unjury (www.unjury.com) protein.  I ordered vanilla, chocolate, strawberry sorbet, and chicken flavor.  (I listed them in the order in which I prefer them, by the way.)  They taste good and don't have an awful after taste.; just a little on the sweet side for me.  I've had trouble drinking four of them a day; it's just a lot and it seems lke there is not enough time in the day.  By the time I finish one of them, it's time to mix another.  I seem to like them mixed in skim milk the best.  The strawberry sorbet is good in Crystal Light although I find I have to mix it with a whole bottle of Crystal Light and it takes a couple hours to drink.  I haven't eaten anything that wasn't on the list.  I am proud of myself. 
The first day was great; a person can do anything for one day.  Days 2 and 3 were the worst so far, but by day 4 I had settled into the routine and knew what to expect.  When I get tempted, I get involved in another activity (getting in the swimming pool, flower gardening, housework) and the urge passes quickly.  I will be leaving for Atlanta on Sunday and expect to come home on Thursday, barring any complications.   It's hard for others, I think.  My daughter asked me last night where I wanted to go for dinner on Sunday for Mother's Day.  I had to remind her that I couldn't eat.   She was disappointed.    My mom was a little disappointed when she realized that we wouldn't be able to really go out to eat while we are in Atlanta.   We will just have to find something else to do.  These are the things I was most concerned about; how surgery would change or alter my relationships, but I AM AN OVERCOMER.  Me and God will figure it out.   I am ready to get the show on the road!!
