Day One Pre-Op

By belld

· 227 views

The day started off slowly. The protein drink is gross but I think I have a handle on it now. I tried the other isopure drinks and they are gross as well. I spent the morning nauseated and with a huge headache but it eased off later in the day. It is the end of the day and I just had some broth. I think I will go to bed so I don't dwell on what else I want to eat.

It is funny how your brain works. Every once in a while I would think about some food that I will never be able to have again. I hope that passes. Food can't be my friend anymore. It has been for 54 years. I got on the scale and I have gained 10 pounds since I got to NC for the summer. Wow 10 MORE pounds to lose. I thought I was just eating all the things I won't be able to have. I didn't think of it as even more weight to lose.;)

    Belld sorry to hear that it has started so rough!! I strongly recommend you try different kinds of protein shakes until you find one that you do like. I hate to tell you this but they need to become a friend of yours! I am in love with the EAS Myoplex Lite Chocolate. I know this will sound sick but I actually dream of waking up in the morning to having one...not that I am hungry but just the taste of the creamy milk chocolate! Told you it would sound sick. After the surgery you can also look up "Yvette" on here, she has some awesome smoothie recipes that include powder protein mixes. We will help you get thru this!! I promise!! Take care, tomorrow will be a better day!!
