Day 2... yes I am counting!

Okay so after my all night nausea and very unpleasant waking up running to the bathroom today. I choose a different route. Now granted I not recommend anyone else do this I am taking my risk but I am still following concept. I tried the hot cocoa meal replacement when I woke up today and after blending stirring shaking for over an hour and the thing would still not dissolve and was resolved to stay in chunks I chunked it. So I knew I was in trouble. I was already at work so grabbing a different meal replacement was not an option and besides I am having a hard time doing four a day. Seems like I am constantly eating and constantly nauseated. Practicing getting enough water and spacing out my vitamins so after my surgery I will be ready. But I had a plan. I know a healthy weight loss needs 1000cal a day and so was the plan with my pre op diet that my nut had set out. I also knew my goal was decreased carbs low fat and high protein for a liver reduction diet. I am following as close to these guide lines as I can. So here is what I have done so far.

 

3- cups coffee - 40 cals

1- cup chicken broth- about 20 cals <1 carb

1- sugar free popsicle- 40 cals 4 carbs

1- peanut bar robard meal replacement- Cals-160 Protein-15 Carbs-18

1- Grilled Chicken salad with wishbone salad spritzer- Cals- 250 Protein- 40 Carbs- 8

1- Tomato soup robard meal replacement- Cals-200 Protein-35g Carbs- 10g

1- sugar free Jello- Cal- 10

 

Total Calories= 720 maybe 800 with my crystal lights

Total Carbs- 41 maybe 45

Total Protein- 130

 

So I have about 200 cals to have maybe a scrambled egg or another bar meal replacement when I get home. I hope I will not be messing up on my pre op diet I know It should be followed to a T but all the sugary stuff is just not going to go over with me. Tried to get a hold of my nut today but she was gone for the weekend and monday is a holiday so I guess I will have to pray I am still okay and shrinking my liver... I am obsessively keeping track and recording so as not to cheat myself. So here is to praying...

I am on day 13 of 2 wk pre op diet. I can't tell you how much I hate it and how sickening the Bariatric Advantage protein shakes and bars are - but like a trooper I keep on - keeping on! Surgery date is fast approaching - Monday! I an for real gettin scared now!!! Good luck to you as you start your pre op diet. If you have good will power - you will make it! I will be thinking of you. Just keep telling yourself - this is only for a couple weeks - I can do this!!!! :rolleyes:

well I could only get about half the tomato soup down so I came home and made turkey sausage and a egg felt so good to have something on my stomach... I think I am just going to have to have a balance of one of the bars they are good pudding salad and protein. keep everything low carb but the carbs on the bars and shakes and stuff they want me to drink are far more calories and carbs then i would make out of a meal i would enjoy..

i know its hard but you can do this. I was on a 2 week pre op liquid only diet, then 2 more weeks of clear liquids only after surgery. you will learn to appreicate food again but in a much better way. Listen to your nut and listen to your body. Wishing you the best of luck, YOU CAN DO THIS
