Pre-Op, Day 4 (Early Morning)

Good Morning! Well, I woke up not hungry and have apparently gained 2 lbs. back. What???? I'm eating no more than 1000 calories a day. All comes from protein drinks except my last meal of the day. I weigh or measure whatever I eat to make sure I'm not going over. Well, maybe those 2 creepy pounds will make a transformation to nothing by tomorrow morning. Ugh! But I'm not discouraged. I refuse to change my ticker just yet! So there! Ha! And I probably didn't drink near enough water yesterday. I'll work on that!

This is a life changing, learning journey! I started my preop diet a week earlier than I was supposed to, so I'm going to learn what works and what doesn't. To be honest, I was told by one of the doctor's staff not to eat any kind of fruit. Just to eat green leafy vegetables....NO PEAS! lol  So, yesterday all I ate was my protein shakes and then I ate a baked piece of fish for supper. I even weighed it and it was only 4 oz. I think were I may have gone wrong was eating a cup and a half of fresh strawberries. They do not have many calories and I made sure that I didn't get over a 1000 calories total yesterday. But maybe there's too much sugar in them! Hummmm...I wonder if that's why he said no fruit!!! lol 

My husband just thinks that I'm holding on to some water and salt. I don't know. All day yesterday, my ankles swelled...usually a sign of too much salt...I think. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's just temporary! Life is good and this is just one of those things! God Bless!
