Fourteen days of protein shakes and vegetables. I am prepared for my surgery tomorrow, I even bought a new video game to kill any boring down time I may have in the hospital, though I don't think there will be much. I am now waiting for the clinic to call me and tell me what time to come in tomorrow morning. I feel indifferent towards this whole thing and I'm more worried about going under anesthesia right now.
The liquid diet has been pretty simple, I'm so full of liquids that I don't feel hungry. My cup of vegetables for the past two weeks has been salad. I like salad so it has not been a problem. For my whey protein shakes, cinnamon powder has been my flavor savior. If there was a issue of immense hunger, dizziness or weakness a boiled egg or a can of V8 has been very helpful. For a treat, frozen ice pops made with Berry Benefiber or Orange Metamucil. I am sure it is different for everyone based on taste and weight.
The next time I write, there will be a physical piece of me missing and I will be an official member of the Bariatric Cult.
I am on day 9 of 21 ay of only liquid (protein shakes) we are not allowed eggs or veg's.. But we can have Sugar free popsicles and SF Jello.. I will have VSG on 9/24

ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte, did you have your surgery? If so, I hope it went well. I'm sorry to you and my readers out there that I haven't blogged yet. I have been recovering at home where my laptop is dead. I tried the Blogger app but it was a disaster. I should be updating everyone next week, possibly a double post because I want to put up some pictures. <3 Miss Fatty
DeleteCharlotte, please let me know if you are okay and if everything went well. <3 Miss Fatty
