This Is Frustrating!
so i'm new to this whole bloggind thing, but I'm sitting here stewing over this whole pre op diet. my surgery date is set for July 23rd and i have been on my diet for 3 days now. i understand that the diet is to help shrink the liver, give you a taste of what's to come, and so on and so forth....but COME ON ALREADY! 25 years of being obese and do you really think i can give up food for 2 weeks......grrrrr! I want this so bad(surgery), but am completely frustrated at this point. food is definitely a mental issue for me. it's my best friend and i really think i need a behavioralist..... I am an extrememly self aware person, and i realize i am an emotional eater, but man this pre op diet is way harder than what i thought it would be. my diet is as follows: 2 sugar free instant bkfsts, 2 1/2 servings of skim milk, 3/4 c steamed veggies, and 3 medium pieces of fruit. that is all i can have in any given day...... i have failed quite a few times, but i at least tried to keep it mostly protein and very small portions when i did.
one issue i am having is my job, i am the boss, so i am working 3rd shift(due to being short staffed) while trying to sleep during the day and take care of 3 kids(needless to say i don't sleep!) then i'm moody and grouchy and OF COURSE i want food! so by the time midnight rolls around, idk if i'm supposed to be starting a new day or logging what i just ate as supper...... ugh! and to top it off i had to make 3 dozen cookies tonite for our residents lunches...and wouldn't ya know it, i ate a cookie.....this is HARD! and i'm not a quitter, but this sucks!!
i have completely quit smoking, i quit drinking pop, exercise doesn't even seem daunting, but i cannot get rid of the control food has over me! please tell me i'm not alone in this!
