Food Drama!!!!

Breakfast - 7am - "Isagenix shake" (2 scoops of high protein isagenix mix, 4 ice cubes, 4 frozen strawberries, one frozen banana, 8 oz water)

7am - Vitamins (biotin, iron, multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D, B12 and a chewable fiber) <240 calories w/o frozen fruit. I'm guessing 300 calories with?>

 

7.30-8.30 my drive to work, and I usually have a small coffee with sugar free creamer, and a 16.9 oz bottle of water. <90 calories>

 

8.30-12 - 16.9 oz of water, sometimes an 8 oz low calorie gatorade. <70 calories>

 

Lunch - 12 - can of College Inn chicken broth, sodium free, 99% fat free. I add dried onion and italian seasoning to it for a little "jazz". I also have a snack sized sugar free mott's apple sauce. I know this isn't liquid persay - but my DR said it's okay. <30 calories>

 

12.30-5 - 16.9 oz of water

 

Dinner - 6.00 -can of College Inn chicken broth, sodium free, 99% fat free. I add a sprinkle of fat free grated cheese, just for something different. <30 calories>

 

<Is it possible this is really 520 calories a day? My PCP is approving this, so I'd assume it's okay?>

 

----------------------------

 

Tomorrow is the woman who I'm replacing's last day. Of course, people are throwing her a "good bye" party, which involves cake, sweets, pizza, wings and chips.

 

HTF am I gonna manage tomorrow? The other woman in the office told me "Ya know... you can't just drink your soup tomorrow. You're HR, and people will think you're a snotty brat if you don't join them in the lunch room and have some party food."

 

(She said it laughing and jokingly, but I'm pretty sure there was a serious tone in there.)

 

Not sure what I'm going to do about tomorrow. I still plan on bringing my broth, water, fiber tabs and gatorade. Maybe instead of apple sauce I can crunch on some veggies? (Hoping they send carrots with the wings?)

 

I'm not really sure what to expect if I put actual FOOD, that I have to CHEW and DIGEST in my body after 4 days of nothing but liquid. I'm hoping if I just eat the veggies, and no dip (or other crap) that I'll be okay and my stomach won't protest too much?

 

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I've gone through that , mine was 3 weeks after surgery. got around pizza party with one slice, (barely ate toppings) and cake afterwards. I had already stopped eating sweets before band so that was ok, everyone was joking can I have your piece? just put a few things on your plate and move around, people won't notice what you are or not eating. maybe put something you bring that you can eat on plate.

I just tell people I'm not feeling well or that I am trying to eat healthier. I would go as that is the right thing, but whoever told you people would be upset if you didn't eat is a crack head. That just doesn't happen. You come first. Take care of YOU!!
