PRE-OP DIET - Chewing Your Food / My Love for Glucerna shakes

I started my pre-op diet last Dec. 15, 2009. It is a 1200 calorie/day balanced diet + 1 serving of Glucerna shake before every meal. The diet itself is not that bad, but yes, the servings are very small compared to what I was eating before.

 

CHEW YOUR FOOD

The one thing I learned to do lately was how to eat slowly and how to chew your food properly. I always follow this rule of thumb: if you can still determine what kind of food is in your mouth by texture alone (not taste), you haven't chewed it enough. Now, it takes me longer to eat my food, and yet I'm still enjoying every bite.

 

GLUCERNA SHAKES

My doctor suggested also for me to take 1 serving of Glucerna Shake before every meal. I am enjoying this part!! I love the taste of Glucerna, and I'm having a blast concocting different kinds of shakes. It's like I have my own Jamba Juice shop.

 

After 3 days of doing this, guess what, I lost 2 lbs already! :blink:
