Day one of the pre-op diet

So I called the dietitian at the bariatric that I am working with. She told me that I do not need to focus on all liquids as the instructions I was given said. She said that she has looked into the research on the liver shrinking diet and that the point is to get as much protein as possible and as little carbs, I have to stay under 30 carbs a day. Which means how I had interpreted the diet (drinking a lot of protein shakes) is not what I should do, as milk and any dairy has a lot of carbs. I need to eat plain meat (chicken, fish, ground turkey, etc.) and take protein supplements if I need to to bring my protein up to at least 60g a day. This sounds much better than all liquids, but now I need to rethink my approach.

So, that being said, I am going to need to go shopping for eggs, fish, chicken, etc. I need to get unflavored protein powder that I can mix in with things other than milk and will still taste ok. I need to restructure my whole eating plan for the next two weeks and do something about the groceries that I just bought on Fri.

As for the rest of my life, I am WAY behind in my calculus class, and I have to take a quiz online some time between Fri and Sun. WAY, WAY behind. I e-mailed my instructors about my missed class from Mon when I was in the hospital and still have not heard back. I am broke and the sub teaching jobs are hard to come by this early in the school year. Oh and I started yesterday and have cramps, Back to work. Maybe things will look better tomorrow.:thumbup:
