Day 1 - Liver Reduction Diet

Jul 05, 2010

Well--today I start the journey...it's a two-week countdown from here, My surgery is 7/19/10. I weighed in this morning at 218.5, just a little shy of my highest ever--220. I probably would have been a bit lower but yesterday I took full advantage of it being my last day to eat what I want when I want and had some leftover icecream birthday cake, a brownie dessert, steak, potatoes loaded in butter, pizza. Not only was it my 'last supper' but it was also the Fourth of July...big food day.

I dunno whether it was because my husband was being a complete a'hole last night or just because he truly wants to show support but he joined me in a protein shake this morning. I made an ice-cap with hazlenut flavored Splenda, pretty good, I must say. I'm feeling very fortunate that my clinic has modified the diet to include one salad and 4 1oz servings of lean protein a day in addition to the liquids. I'm pretty confident I will be able to get by on that.

Thankfully for me, day 1 is being spent at home. I have an opportunity to ease into this from the comfort of home instead of having to go right back to work after the holiday. This, of course, is a great benefit to me right now because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be spending half the day on the toilet.


Well-more another day. Someone was supposed to come by this mornng and fix my windshield. They are officially late. I have to call and find out what's up.
