Decaffeinated cold turkey.

No more Diet Coke for me. After years of drinking at least a 2 liter bottle daily I stopped, cold turkey, two days ago. Woke up this morning and the G_d awful headache is gone. Just goes to show that any habit can be beaten in time.

So, today started my pre-op diet. Atkins type. I now have to break the carb habit. I have been a carb-a-holic so this is gonna be fun (not!). I'm not much of a cook, but I made bacon (no sugar in the processing) and eggs for breakfast. It smelled so good, my son woke up at 6am to eat with me! Hmmm, an unexpected benefit :-)

Since I worked last night, I went to bed after breakfast. Now it's time for a protein shake. And maybe a bit of hard cheese.

The thing I'm finding hard is thinking through, in advance, what I'm going to eat. Just another lifestyle change I need to get used to. No more running to MickeyD's, or BK for me.:001_rolleyes:
