I've adjusted to the sweeteners. matter of fact, I'm almost enjoying the sugar-free puddings! I am not, however, enjoying what this liquid diet is doing to my digestive system!

Well, they were right. It does get easier. Once healed I doubt I'll ever want to so much as smell tomato soup again, but I've done okay. Lost 6lbs in <5 days. Whoo hooo! What a way to start! now, if only my nerves will calm down....

OMG this sucks. I've never liked sugar substitutes, and just about everything I'm allowed to eat is loaded with them. I'm irritable, hungry, I have a NASTY headache, my baby is teething and hasn't stopped crying for the last 2 hours, and to top it all off my tummy is gurgling in a way that tells me I'm going to be spending some unpleasant time in the bathroom. I cheated a bit last night, ate some noodles I was serving my family for dinner. I am determined not to cheat again. I really want this surgery, and my surgeons are super-strict.

Today I started my pre-op 7 day diet. Clear liquids, <20gms protein, 64oz liquid per day for 7 days. It's 9:37am on day 1 and already I'm obsessing. Can I do this? Can I make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my family and not eat myself? Can I avoid the random nibbles that go hand-in-hand with preparing meals? Will this help me to learn not to snack so much while cooking?Hey, this could be a good thing afterall. I bet I consume at least 100 calories per meal when cooking. A nibble of cheese here, a bit of broth there, it all adds up. Licking the batter bowl is just as bad as eating the cake. I can do this. I know I can.:thumbdown:
