pre op liquid diet...

I am on day 2 of a 9 day liquid diet... And although I am hungry when it comes time for Snacks and b l d I am doing pretty dang good. I lost 2 lbs over night and I feel OK. Slight headache and head hunger but I have been to a grocery store and even though my mouth waters I am not tempted.

I think my head is in it for the big picture... My surgeon told me he didn't think I was ready because I had gained a couple lbs within the 12 days I had seen him last... I had to drive 2 hours away and my ankles were hugely swollen and I have been constipated (sorry tmi) for a few days.. He didn't believe me... Of course. The nut said she believed me and just to really stick to this pre op diet like no other and prove him wrong.

Now the sad thing is, is that I spent over a hundres dollars on 2 weeks worth of Optifast at their place and I tried 3 different things and felt completely nauseous.. So I switched back to my Protein rtd's added skim milk to get calories, got cream of chicken Soup and portion out the right amount, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello and some flavored Water... I am staying exactly at calories and drinking as much water as I can.

Sorry for the long post. Hoping I don't regret saying I feel good lol I am hoping that they will give me a refund on what I haven't opened cuz that's a lot of money...
