So, I have started my self inflicted clear liquid diet. I did it, because I wasn't perfect the past 3 weeks with my no starches. I feel really guilty about it and worried my liver won't be small enough.........I started on Saturday, but did have a protein packed late lunch. But, I have had nothing but Atkins Lift water, broth and jello since!
I used to love soups. I am pretty sure, after the liquid phases of this process, I may never eat soup again.
I intentionally decided to work from home on Wednesday and Thursday, knowing that I would need to have the bathroom as close as possible. That was when I thought I was just going to do the 2 days of clears. Let's just say........I had to go home to change today. Yep, liquid in, liquid out! GROSS, but a part of the process. No wonder people the people from other programs, who have much longer liquid diet requirements, drop so much what prior to surgery. I have lost 1 lb since yesterday morning.
I am looking forward to my mom and dad getting here on Wednesday. My mom has definitely kicked into care taker mode already. When I told her I was wavering with my decision, wondering what the hell I was about to do to my body, she said, " You will continue to have the moments, and that's okay." I know she will make sure I am walking, drinking water, getting in protein, and resting.
Through this clear liquid process, I have learned that the college Gretchen was crazy! How the heck did I do jello shots....jello is disgusting! But, I will suck it up and force it down to make sure I am getting in enough fluids. But, seriously, YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So much to do for work before the end of business tomorrow. I can't believe how these 2 months have flown by!
4 days!
