The Pre-Op Blues

Day five of my pre-op diet and I'm doing...okay. A little crabby, a couple headaches, really tired. I haven't cheated per se, but I have put a little sauce/dressing on my chicken with my meal once or twice. I'm still weaning off coffee - just had one cup of decaf today and did fine, but I did take tylenol before I left this morning because of ankle pain so that might have counteracted any headaches. I'd like to be completely off coffee by Monday or Tuesday, fingers crossed.
Today was only a half day at work so I took one protein shake and one bar for my mid-morning snack. We ran late getting out of the office and by the time I got home I was STARVING. I just had my second shake so hopefully that will take care of some of the hunger. Looking forward to some fish and veggies tonight.
I did really well over the weekend - I even went to the movies and was fine surrounded by the popcorn and soda! I did get bitchy with my mother on Sunday, though. Whoops, haha.
Sometimes I think I don't know how I'm going to do this until the tenth, but then I realize that I've only got ten days to go and I can do anything for ten days so I SUCK IT UP.
Looking forward to 2014! Happy New Year!!
