I didn't pass out from lack of nutrition.
Ten pounds down and one week to go until surgery. The liquid diet has been much easier than I thought it would be. With a shake for breakfast, a glass of fiber and Go Greens in the morning, I'm full of liquids. For lunch another shake and a cup of vegetables combined with my daily intake of water and for dinner another shake and if I am lacking protein for the day, a boiled egg. Then I end my day with another glass of fiber. I'm so full of liquids and constantly drinking them that I have no room for food. The only craving I had the first few days was for cheese but once I started making the whey protein shakes with skim milk, I felt much better.
I have done creative little things to try to get more flavor into this diet including switching over to gummy vitamins. If I really want a treat, I have a fiber ice pop, they cost next to nothing to make and you all ready have all the ingredients, all you need is an ice pop tray. I just miss the flavor of things and sometimes I want to just chew them and spit them out so I can have the taste in my mouth. All seems to be going well for now.
I am, however, getting a little nervous and wondering if I am really making the right decision, especially since I am very much in the closet about this surgery.
