Light Headed During Liquid Diet

danalou · May 14, 2008

I thought about eating a cracker last night but didn't. I don't mind the skim milk but prefer 2%. I'm having dinner with some visiting managers here at work tonight. The restaurant (it's a murder/mystery dinner theatre) said that they would be so kind as to heat up my chicken broth. I really don't look forward to this. But, tomorrow is my 4th day and I'm half-way thru. Your surgery is on Friday? Wanna swap places?

I had two tablespoons of cottage cheese and a bite of a cracker before my presentation today. I think I sounded reasonably articulate but we'll see if people are chattering about me in the office tomorrow.

I've always detested gatorade...but I'm becoming quite fond of it! I also really like the beefy onion Soup by McCormik. I left the onions to settle at the bottom of the pot. It was a nice little switch up from the chicken bullion.

I think my biggest concern is that my "cheating", while small is still against what the doctor said. Do you think I should call them and tell them that I took a bite here and there? I've really pounded the liquids.

Since Sunday I've had about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, a bit of salmon, a cracker, and something else I'm sure. It's strange...almost out of desperation. I feel uncompliant...which isn't like me. I tend to be a rule follower.

I might try the McCormik Soup. I would not tell them about the cheating!! The might postpone your band.

I made it through last night. I went to dinner with some visiting managers and there was a nice salad at my seat. Gave it to the server and my can of broth. Then, I came back from the restroom and found a LOVELY rare prime rib, chicken breast, roasted potatoes and green Beans. Gave it back to the server and he brought my broth. Took the plate home and cut it up for my pit bull and did not take a bite. That was the hardest thing that I have ever done.

Luna, I agree with Dana I dont think I'd tell them. In all honesty its not that much when you put it in perspective however, I would lay off the food really! I called my doctor and he agreed to the crackers but I've been extremely carefull not to eat to many. I do feel so much better now. Stay strong you'll be there in no time.

Danalou, nope dont want to trade you! LOL : ) However, I'll be happy to lend an ear if you want to complain!

Good luck girls my surgery is tomorrow! Wow how time has flown!
