The Dreaded Pre-Op Diet

Feb 06, 2009

Okay, so I am totally on day 5 of my 14 day all-liquid diet and let me tell you IT SUCKS! While I have done like 100times better than I thought I would (haven't cheated), I am still struggling with the thoughts of all my favorite foods and how they taste! Today's enticement was a big juicy steak with garlic, mushrooms, and shrimp poured over top! The only thing that stops me is remembering that it was eating things like that that got me into this position in the first place! I just keep telling myself to keep my "eyes on the prize"! Only 10 days to go so no way I am blowing it now! I have had a few moments of anxiety about the surgery, but just keep having to reassure myself that God will keep me safe and that the surgery will go as planned! Anywho, I have already lost about 7 pounds or so from this pre-op diet so that is yet another motivation! I can't wait to get on with this journey!!
