Today is day 3 of the 14 day liquid diet that I have to do. Who knew that there are so many drinks with aspartame in them? Yesterday was a not so bad day, Monday was horrible, and today reality has set in that I'm not eating any food. I am proud of myself though because I cooked dinner for my son and guy and didn't taste anything to see if it was okay. I was tempted to eat the bacon that my son left from breakfast but instead I threw it away. I have come to the conclusion that I am very limited as to what I can drink, which is discouraging at times. I have eaten more jello this week than I have probably eaten in two years!!
I have read that others only have to do a 7 day liquid diet prior to surgery so I'm wondering why I have to do 14 days. However, I won't complain as I believe that this will start me on the right path to healthy eating.
If anyone knows of any creative liquids to drink on this diet, I could sure use some help.
