Road to Surgery - Day 1
Dec 12, 2011
This is Day 1 of my diet before surgery. Dr. Wasser put me on a 2 week diet where I only drink protein shakes 3 times a day and clear liquids that can include chicken broth, crystal light, and jello. This is supposed to help me lose some weight so that the surgery is easier for him to perform. I don't know if this is going to work well with me but he said I should lose 7 to 10 pounds.
The shakes taste good. I got a lot of chocolate and some vanilla. They had strawberry and banana too but I'm not a fan of those flavors. The shakes have a lot of protein; 40g.
The chicken broth helps a lot. Having something warm is great, especially in the winter.
I bought a single serve blender for around $15 at Walmart to use at work and on the go. It's really convenient because I can drink right out of the blender cup. I'll be using it after surgery too to make my mushy foods.
This is hard because I was really craving a bagel this morning...and the fact that people are making breakfast in the break room at work makes it worse!! lol
I'm doing it though!!
