Pre-op diet day one tried to kick my butt!
I’ve been both looking forward to and dreading (but mostly dreading) the 2 week pre-op, because it means I’m almost to my surgery date.
Unfortunately the night before I got very little sleep and to top it off my first day was a Monday.
Three protein shakes, then a small meal for dinner…no caffeine and no gum. I was ready to north end of a south bound donkey by the time I went to bed! Aw but I did get a “snack” of sugar free Jello and a sugar free popsicle. Mmmm….
I ate 740 calories the entire day. In the past I’d eat 740 calories in my first bite of food! Okay, maybe not, but I was definitely getting 3…4…5 times that (or more) in day.
But that’s what got me to where I am. So it’s time for a change.
Many people say this pre-op is the hardest part of the process and I can believe it.
Here’s hoping day two goes a bit better. I did get more sleep so that’s something! I am really dreading week two where I don’t get any food, only four protein shakes a day.
Let’s do this.
