Food funerals and liquid diet...

Aug 16, 2013

I am on day 4 of the liquid diet and surgery is in 4 days. I had one hell of a food funeral two nights before liquid started at Texas De Brazil, a Brazilian Steakhouse. It was fabulous. Now I'm starving,,lol   I looked out my window today to see what appeared to be a ham bone walking across my yard. Turns out it was just the UPS delivery man. Later, I saw a slice of delicious bacon headed down the street. Turns out it was a kid walking home from school.  HUNGRY I tell ya. Liquids aren't cutting it but I'm hanging in there. It's particularly hard to prepare meals for my family while unable to eat any of it. I created what I believe to be a delicious Quinoa and beef casserole for my family the night before last. Red quinoa with beef, natural pork sausage, and cheese served with pan sauteed yellow squash (my favorite). It was torture. My stomach burns with hunger pangs and I even have bouts of nausea. I feel like I'm drinking plenty of protein, I've actually gone over the docs 80-120grams per day goal. Is that a bad thing? I'm strictly drinking protein drinks from the list. A couple of notes:
Isopure drinks taste like approx. 13 different kinds of a$$. Seriously, so gross.
Those whey protein shots that come in the little tubes, just inject chemicals directly into my veins would ya? That's what it tasted like.
Lean Body, not so great.
Body Fortress (walmart powder), not so bad, especially the chocolate peanut.
Nectar chocolate truffle, yum! Can't wait to try new flavors tomorrow.
Chicken broth, Um, it's chicken broth.

4 more days,, 4 more days,,, 4 more days,,,
