Day 5 of Pre-Op Liquid Diet
So, it's 7:26 p.m. and today has been a great day as far as food goes, but HORRIBLE as far as my life! I have sciatic pain that would kill a horse and I am so afraid that I will have to delay my surgery if this pain doesn't calm down! I REFUSE to allow that to happen though. My doctor said the first 3-4 days of my liquid diet would be the worst, so I'm not going backwards! I have made it successfully to day 5!!!
I have had a protein shake (28 g), chicken and stars soup (3 g), 1/2 of a protein bar (12 g), lite yogurt (8 g) and will have another protein shake before bed (28 g). Total protein for today 79 grams!
I am NOT hungry, and feel VERY confident in my ability to do this once I am banded because let's face it, my stomach is still HUGE right now and I'm not even starving!
I worked out for 20 minutes on my elliptical and did 30 minutes of stretching to help ease my sciatic nerve pain...it worked some!
My boyfriend is in the hospital right now struggling to keep any food down and has pneumonia...so today has NOT been a good emotional day, but I didn't feed my feelings and can just admit that I'm SAD....not hungry about it!
