Liquid Diet

Sep 24, 2010

Well, am on day 4 of my liquid diet. They said to prepare for irritability, nausea, diarrhea... yeah.. be prepared.  The first two days weren't so bad. Haven't really been hungry for food, but the smells of food make me crave it.  Like fresh baked soft pretzels from the mall or driving by the steak restaurant...oh my, the smells! ummm...   Day 3 is when my irritability really kicked in. Didn't help my little ones were I swear possessed. I kept finding myself walking to kitchen to try and ease the craving.  Then would drink some broth or water to pass it by.  Didn't realize how much emotions are sated by eating.  Thankfully my husband let me go out at dinner time ( they were having pizza, which I cooked, yummy smelling) . Went shopping and stopped to visit a friend. good to get away from smell of food and cranky kids.  Today, day 4 have been real drained of energy, even though am taking my vitamens and drinking protein.  Drank another shake before bed and it seemed to help with energy a little. My calves are also starting to ache. Usually happens when I am low on potassium.  Poped a potassium pill and hopefully that will help. I don't know about anyone else, but also am peeing like a race horse! LOL   On the bright side I have lost 4.5 pds. in the last 4 days!
