I thought this would be....well...doable, but GOD it's HARD!!

i'm on day 2 of pre-op diet. TWO WEEKS are required. ugh.

i'm not really HUNGRY--but i wish i could BITE INTO something--and not just raw vegetables (of which i'm allowed 2 cups per day--raw or cooked, no peas, corn, potatoes).

i probably had 3 cups yesterday. i don't think that's the big problem here.

i'm DYING for a bagel with cream cheese. or toast. or an omelet, or...ANYTHING that tastes UNLIKE this revolting chocolate optifast thing.

i put a drop of vanilla in it--can't tell if that made a difference--and mixed it up with crushed ice. so, i think it tastes as good as it's gonna get.

i was supposed to have soup for lunch yesterday--but i wound up at dr's office for surgical clearance test at lunch--and spent the REST OF THE DAY THERE. that's right--never got back to my office. thankfully, the day after xmas--there weren't that many people there to notice my absence.

well, at least i'm done with the pre-surgery this n' that notes from various dr's. i hope.

so--now it's just concentrating on this liquid diet thing.

please---feel sorry for me! i need company!!:think

I am not looking forward to 2 weeks of liquids either, so you have my sympathy. Hang in there...I hear it gets better after the first few days.
