Day 1 of my Pre-Op Diet

Aug 25, 2009

So I didn't mention yesterday that I'm on a liver shrinking pre-op diet. It has two phases. The first phase, which I am on now, consists of only eating meat and vegetables. That is it. I can't have dairy, bread, surgery things, fatty things, or anything else- just meat and vegetables. I usually eat a lot of that. Every night for dinner I have a meat, a veggie, and something else (rice or bread for example. The two days I've been on it, my mom decides to make things I can't have. They had pizza yesterday and fish sticks and tater tots today. In her defense yesterday she didn't know. But tonight she said she didn't feel like cooking and by the time she told me what was for dinner, it was too late for me to unfreeze something and cook it for myself. We haven't gone out and bought anything for me yet so my house is empty of things that I can make easily. So today I had a burger without a bun, a half sandwich without bread, and a salad from Denny's. I got in all my water for the day, which I almost always do. I haven't started my supplements yet but I have to wait til this weekend to get it.  I don't drink soda or coffee anymore anyway, but I can't have any of that either. I can't take any NSAIDs from now on until forever. That's really crazy to think about.... but anyway. This part of the diet I have to be on until two weeks before my surgery when I start phase 2. This part is to really shrink my liver. I can only have liquids. So... I'm probably gonna get grouchy in those two weeks cuz I get kinda bitchy when I'm hungry. Especially because I'm gonna be so stressed from school. It'll be worth it though. I just need to make sure I stick to my diet and do what I'm supposed to do.
