I really screwed up on pre-op diet tonight. i was doing ok--until this evening, when party food made its debut at my place.

disaster.

no alcohol tho.

tomorrow--back on strict pre-op diet.

hope i'm not doomed.

what does anyone else think?????

:cry :cry :cry

ok, i'm only drinking shakes and eating those cooked, unflavored vegetables (boy, salt is the only saving grace on those) and i feel SO energy-less, it's unbelievable. after i drink the shake--i have about 1 hr's worth of energy--during which i'm madly cleaning up my cluttered castle for a new year's eve party tomorrow (yes, i'm a masochist, too).

then i collapse, lie down on the bed for a "minute"--and all of a sudden, it's 3 hrs later.

now--this is FINE while...

Day 3 of liquid pre-op diet.

Not REALLY hungry--but a little bit hungry. in fact i think i feel weaker--due to low-protein. yesterday i had a headache--definitely from low protein (not from caffeine deprivation--i am totally off caffeine, have been for a long time now--at least a year). have tried to keep the liquids up to feel full too, but am feeling quite sorry for myself today.

now--is DAY 4 supposed to be better? or AFTER day 4? i am doing what i've been told to...

i'm on day 2 of pre-op diet. TWO WEEKS are required. ugh.

i'm not really HUNGRY--but i wish i could BITE INTO something--and not just raw vegetables (of which i'm allowed 2 cups per day--raw or cooked, no peas, corn, potatoes).

i probably had 3 cups yesterday. i don't think that's the big problem here.

i'm DYING for a bagel with cream cheese. or toast. or an omelet, or...ANYTHING that tastes UNLIKE this revolting chocolate optifast thing.
