Liquid Diet

I started my liquid diet today. 17 days until surgery and I started my diet. It consists of sugar free clear liquids adding in 3 protein shakes a day.

Today wasn't too bad. Around lunch my stomach started growling pretty loudly. That was funny. I ended up going to the cafeteria and getting some of the broth from the soup. It broke up the same thing of water and jello all day. I had tried a couple protein shakes today. I couldnt get either of them all the way down. Awful. I am going shopping tomorrow to see if I can find some good ones. I also have a couple friends that have recommended some good ones. I ordered some Bariatric Advantage protein powder. I got banana, strawberry, chocolate. Normally strawberry tastes like Pepto to me but I am going to try it again. The vanilla is a no go. I thought it would be okay. It wasnt. LOL

I am starting to feel hungry again. K just ran to Walmart for me to get jello and popsicles and bullion cubes for broth. I hear the hardest day is the 3rd. I am nervous about that. Right now I feel pretty decent after not eating for almost 24 hours. I am a little tired but I suspect that some of that is because I did not get the protein I needed to. I WILL get better at that.

A little off topic: I am so proud of how far C has come in school already. She is reading so well!!! Last night during the storm she was on my bed, in my gown, reading a book. It was too cute not to share. I love my sweet girl.



Tomorrow is mine and K's 6 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated 7 years together as a couple back in May. :) He send me these beautiful Lillies to work. I will post another pic as soon as they are all uploaded:


Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am sure I will post how I am doing again soon :)
