So.....I have been doing no starches......that isn't a big deal, seeing I have been eating very few starches since April. BUT, I am now doing 2 shakes (1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch) and then a protein packed dinner, with low carb veggies. My head is trying to tell my stomach it is hungry. I know it isn't. I know it is all in my head because I am feeling deprived right now. This is the first time on this journey I have felt like I was on a "diet". This is self inflicted. My plan calls for no starch for 3 weeks and then only 2 days on clear liquids. I am so afraid my liver won't be small enough that I am trying to maximize these final days.
Sunday, I will be starting 5 days of clear liquids. Again, self inflicted. Dr. Bello recommended 5 days, so I am going to tough it out and do it. Thankfully, I will be working from home for part of that week. Lots of jello, lots of popsicles and lots of broth.........Can't wait for the soft food stage!
I got this......my head has never been in this place before. I am embracing the 2nd chance at life I am about to get. I will take the reset, learn my new hunger cues and choose to love myself more than food. I will remember I will be eating to live. It is going to be difficult, but I know I can do it.
11 days to go!
