day 3!
Mar 25, 2011
I am on day 3 of my pre op diet. 3 protein shakes and one lean meal at dinner. I try to save my breakfast shake till around 8, as i am out to work by 6 am and if i drink it too early I am starving by 8..so far so good. I am having trouble figuring out if the shakes I bought(EAS) are the right ones for me. I need them to be at least 15 protein and no more than 150 cals. EAS is in that area, so I hope I am good. I did buy a mixed package from the drs office, but I have felt nauseous from a couple of them. I will keep trying, and plugging along. I think about food all the time, but i actually have will power like I have never had before! I totally look forward to dinner when I either eat a lean cuisine, etc. or salad with 3 ozs of lean protein in it..I am so excited about april 6th, but nervous about doing the right thing once i am home. Like, getting enough protein and fluids in. I never drink enough, but if i have to put protein powder in my bottle and get them both in together then I will try! Trying to get things together for my 3 day stay, then making sure that I have made arrangements for my 7 yr old granddaughter whom we have custody of. I have 3 grown children, well 30, 25 and 19 who are great, so between them and my husband Im sure she will be fine. I do find when I really want to eat something I either go on the Wii fit or on the computer to take my mind off of food. Right now i feel strong, so we shall see as time goes on. I feel positive and excited, and I have faith that this will be fine!
