Liquid diet Day 5

Dec 17, 2010

Today is my 5th day on the HMR liquid diet.  I have my required class with the Physician's Assistant and Nutritionist on Tuesday, and I'm now actually looking forward to it: I KNOW I've been doing what I'm supposed to, I know I'm on track with my pre-op weight loss, and I welcome the chance to ask the many questions that are popping up. 

I don't have a scale at home, because I obsess about it when I do.  My mom does have one, and I was there on Wednesday night.  I've lost 6 lbs since December 1st!  I'm sure most of that was in those first few days on the liquid diet, so I'm happy to be going back there tonight so I can see where I am now.  I've checked a couple of times, and my mom's scale matches the doctor's, so I trust the numbers.

The HMR diet has gotten a little easier.  I've experimented a little with the shakes, making some hot, some cold, some with ice in a blender.  I've been adding a small amount of sf ff pudding mix sometimes, and a few frozen berries or a bananna to others.  They usually do fill me, although they don't keep me satisfied for more than a couple of hours at most.  I drink lots of water, and let my hunger remind me that I'm on the right track.

That's all for now... I'll post more over the weekend!
