Yesterday was Day 1 of my 3 week pre-op diet. I only have to do 2 weeks, but I've gained weight in the last couple of months and want to try and get rid of it before surgery. I'm sure my posts won't be funny and interesting like some are but I want to record my pre-op and post-op for myself.
My pre-op diet is:
4 protein shakes made with skim milk, water, or SF beverage
Unlimited SF jello, SF popsicles, SF beverages
No caffeine
5 servings from the following list:
1/2 cup SF Applesauce
1/2 cup SF FF pudding
1/2 cup oatmeal, cream of wheat
1/2 cup LF cream soup
6 oz FF Light yogurt
8 oz V-8 juice
I was very hungry by lunch time as I only had a protein shake with milk for breakfast. Felt satisfied after lunch of soup, yogurt and a protein shake and did fine until a snack at 3:30 pm. Then things went down-hill. I developed a headache and fatigue started kicking in around 5 pm. I had water aerobics at 5:30 and was utterly exhausted by the end and in a really, really bad mood. All I wanted to do when I got home was eat and go to bed, but of course there was much more to be done.
My adult son came over and I think quickly decided that was not a good choice on his part but he had already put his clothes in the washer and now had to wait until they were dry. To say I was cranky would be a gross understatement. I did make it to bed by a little after 8 pm and I think all of my family was glad to see me go.
