Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

Surgery was Monday the 5th!

Doing really really well! I was home Tuesday evening and Wednesday went to the mall and walked with my mom for about an hour. It's cold and snowy so outside isn't an option. Then Thursday and Friday I went to the gym. Walked slowly on the treadmill for 30 min!!! I'm keeping everything down, which is only Water, crystal light, Protein broth, Protein shakes and now cream of wheat.

I was just watching my husband eat sour cream and cheddar chips-which were my favs. I just even thought....

What if I lick the powder off the chip?? Would that be AWFUL??

Yes. Yes it would. I googled if anyone has ever done that, and they have. But they also said something along the lines of your body is craving salt. Make broth!! So I just made a Protein chicken broth from unjury for the first time. It's pretty good. And guess what!! I did NOT lick chips lol.

I'm still working on my "head" part of this. I know I don't want chips, I wanted SALT! So if anyone has that urge, MAKE BROTH!! Sip it slowly and this too shall pass!!

Hope everyone is doing well or getting ready to have it done!!

Praying that all goes well for everyone!! ????

Surgery is Monday so I've just got to get through this weekend! I eat out often for work taking clients or just business meetings so I'm learning already to be smarter with my orders. Today I had french onion Soup without the cheese and croutons and just sipped the broth. In hindsight maybe I should've just ordered a cup of au jus. Earlier this week I had egg drop soup and tried as much as I could to sift through the eggs. And another time instead of coffee and Desserts I had hot Decaf tea. The crazy thing is that no one really questioned me about my choices. It took me about the same amount of time as others to sip and sift my Soups as it did for them to eat their lunches. Lesson learned I need to focus on the company and conversation and NOT on the food!

My surgery is scheduled for January 27. I'm so excited and a little nervous as well. I am not looking forward to the Protein Shake pre surgical diet though. I will be starting that January 17.

I'm doing the same...trying to get as much done as I can. Plus I homeschool my daughter, so my assistants will be taking over for a few days and I have to get her work packet together. It's actually keeping my mind occupied, so I'm not dealing with too much nervous. Best wishes to you. Mine is 1/13 so I'll update when I can on that day.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
