Day 4 and 5 liquid diet

Oct 28, 2011

Ok so yesterday was a bad day for getting stuff in.  I had 2 appts and stress so i only got 2 shakes and 4 food choices.  Geez that is just aweful.  I did check in with my nutritionist (caught her on her lunch)  and asked if it was ok to go under the 4 shakes and 6 food choices.  Her answer was NO!  Eat it all! It helps shock the liver.  My surgeons assistant says it doesnt shrink the liver it shocks it so instead of laying like a pancake on top of my stomach where they need to work, it flexs upward so they can move around easier.  So now im still on my mission to get my 4 shakes in 6 food choices and im still failing misrably.  Im super nervous because i usually do amazing during the week with eating right and getting in my water but the weekends we are always on the go and busy so i dont do as well.  But im already struggling so i am hoping maybe being around more food this weekend will make me more hungry so i can get it all in.  I REFUSE to cheat on this diet because i waited a year for this surgery and im not about to do anything to screw this up.  But at the same time i guess i am messing it up cause i cant eat enough.  But god do i try.  Yesterday i didnt really try too hard.  I did know i would be gone most the day so i doubled up my morning protein shake for the ride but when i got home i was stressed and super busy(my babysitter/sister was aweful yesterday i came home to a house that had been through a tornado, every kids crying and complaining of how aweful she was, and on and on) so i didnt make anymore and i just ate a few yogurts throughtout the day to help with hunger.  I have not went to bed hungry all week and i have been eating so little.  It does scare me a lil if im struggling so bad now without restriction how bad is it going to be with restriction.  So glad im talking a week or 2 off of babysitting my neice and nephew because they are a big cause of my stress(lol).  Hoping with the extra help and everyone babying me doing house work ect. that i will be able to just sip sip sip my head off.  Today i am going to try to switch some more stuff up so i can get everything in but i really feel im fighting a losing battle.  I have yet to get everything in and im on day 5 so i should be able to handle it but im just not hungry.  So pray for me to get a lil hunger to get me through.  10 more days and i will be having my surgery!  Also a side note my hospital did all my pre registration and stuff yesterday and they were having me sign a billion papers and one was giving consent for the surgery but thank god i paid attention it said lap band.  I was like umm why does this say lap band i switch procedures through the program in january 2011.  Im getting rny.  She checked all the papers and they said lapband.  I just told her im not signing that because thats not what me and my surgeon and everyone else at my bariatric teams have me signed up for.  Could you imaging i go in expecting rny come out with the lapband.  Woo they would have had one pissed off momma on there hands.  But my surgeons office got it all straighten out so i signed my rny papers,lol!   I did get a little head hunger yesterday and it made me laugh because my husband loves arbys and i hate it!  I do like some of the food but not the food thats good for me.  So anyways hubby and kids went to arbys and omg did it smell wonderful.  And i think im feeling a little left out because i cant eat with them and my youngest (2) keeps saying mommy want one and will stick her fry or whatever shes eating in my face and i put my pouty lip out and say no baby mommy cant have any,lol!  She just doesnt understand, mommy always samples my food.  My older two on the other hand they are rotten (8 girl) (6 boy)  they tease mom. Yummy mom this is so good too bad you cant have any.  LOL!  They are not trying to be mean but to a girl who hasnt ate normal food for 5 days it seems mean right?  Well anyways thats all i got. 

Who wants to cheer with me 10 days! 10 days! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Im just so excited.
