Day 3 of Pre-Op Liquid Diet

I had my pre op class and labs done today. I also attended my last weapons class for the bariatric center's requirement before surgery. I am OFFICIALLY DONE with all of the pre req "dr" stuff, except for having a visit with my primary care doctor next Friday to go over last minute things before the BIG DAY! I am SOOO EXCITED for this surgery! I have lost 6 lbs in 3 days of being on this liquid (no solids) diet and I feel great. I am having some issues with what I believe is my sciatic nerve, but hope that will get better over the next couple of days with the anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers I'm now taking.

Anyway, this post is about my diet, not about other issues, so today was HORRIBLE as far as my hunger goes, OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a tad! I was hungry today, like hungry where you want to eat televison commmercials and I had to stop myself from "dreaming" about a double quarter pounder. I even went as far as to talk to my boyfried about how I wanted to have a steak and steak fries. I don't even like steak! LOL! I did have a cup of beef broth and IT WAS AMAZING!!! I even had my son try some and he ended up getting a cup of it too! It was cute! I was so hungry today only because I had to fast all the way through both bariatric classes, labs, AND glucose testing. They made me drink this NASTY orange syrupy stuff, WAIT TWO HOURS SITTING NEXT TO A PLATE OF GIANT COOKIES IN THE LOBBY (!!!), only to find out that I wasn't lying about NOT being diabetic! My blood sugar was 94! Come on people!

I got up at 5:00 a.m. for my two hour drive to the hospital/bariatric center and I was FINALLY allowed to "eat" at 1:40 p.m.!!! I had a chocolate protein shake (25 g), 1/2 of a protein bar (7.5 g), lite yogurt (8 g), cream of broccoli soup (3 g), a cup of beef broth, and a banana protein shake (30 g) to fuel my body. I only drank 30 ounces of water today due to getting a late start...

Although between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. I was really hungry for "real food" I managed and am happy to say I leave you this evening at 10:42 p.m. with a satisfied feeling!

Day four, here I come and I'm SIX POUNDS LIGHTER!!!

Watch out now, skinny chic comin' at cha! LOL
