Day 4 of Pre-Op Liquid Diet

So, it's 9:19 p.m. and I am not hungry at all! I just enjoyed my last protein shake for the day and am happily finding out that my family likes them too! I was thinking that if my family will trade in the sugary cereals we normally eat for skim milk, banana, protein shakes that would be SO AWESOME! That is definitely a start to my whole family getting healthy with me, and if you compare the cost of cereal to protein powder, I believe we would be saving money AND CALORIES!!! I can just see it now, each person have a hand mixer making their own breakfast! WOO HOO!

I'm actually going to invest in two hand mixers in order to be able to make a shake in the kitchen without disturbing the people that will be asleep in the future. I can DEFINITELY live with having these yummy protein shakes for the rest of my life! They fill me up for 4-5 hours too! I feel so happy knowing they are under 500 calories, good for me, and keep me full for a long time!

I had a protein shake w/ banana and skim milk for breakfast (28 g), tomato soup for lunch (3 g), lite yogurt (8 g) and 1/2 protein bar (12 g) for snack, and a protein shake (28 g) for supper. I also had 64 ounces of water today! Total protein intake for day four...79 grams!

I am going to bed feeling satisfied and like I CAN do this!

ONE PROBLEM! I am having SEVERE sciatic nerve pain and am so scared that if this doesn't get better it could delay my surgery! NO!!! That will NOT happen!!! (I hope!)

Please pray for me that my back/nerve gets better before I have surgery!
