Major headache! And I'm not even on the pre-op diet yet. My husband decided to buy me all decaffeinated coffees...SMH. I'm thinking, "ok...I'll just use them/get used to them" Trying to not give in to regular since I've already got this darn headache. I might as well as play it out now, cause I don't want to do it again during the pre-op.

First step (again) I bought a small daily journal. I've been writing what I eat and protein grams. It's been helpful to be mindful of what I place in my mouth. It's only been one day and a half, but it's a step in the right direction. I used to do this with calories a long time ago. Seems like this time it's less of a headache counting. Not sure why, but I'm glad it's working for me. Now, I just need to stick to it!

I didn't have such a great day eating wise. Good grief! So I guess I was down in the dumps... "well, you are terribly crappy already, what more could you do?" So I bought some pork rinds. All I have to say is THANK GOD THEY WERE WAY TOO SALTY! So I got rid of them. Sigh....this pre-op training is the pits!!!!

Sometimes nutrition can be looked at from several different perspectives. Pork rinds, for example, are deep-fried pigskin, but “Junk Food That's Good for You, ” an article on the Web site of Men's Health magazine, points out that they also have zero carbs, nine grams of fat — 43 percent unsaturated — and 17 grams of protein, which make them more acceptable as an occasional snack.
Don't beat yourself up too bad just make up your mind to meal prep this way you will always be prepared and cheating on your diet would then be a choice instead of last resort.
