I am on day 2 of this dreaded liquid diet. I actually have had a decent day. I had cream of wheat with sugar free maple syrup, which turned out to be quite delicious.
I had an Atkins chocolate protein shake, also delicious. I had a sugar free vanilla pudding cup... three for three on the delicious scale. I did have a cup of chicken broth that was sodium free and felt that was not as delightful as it could have been and I had a carnation breakfast shake that was sugar free and I felt I would have gotten more flavor out of a stack of paper. But all in all, not a bad day and not craving anything.
I will say that quitting food is like quitting smoking. I'm a raging lunatic. I nag and nag and I am crabby. I am sure it will get better, at least I hope it does because my husband is just about tired of me.
I spend more time in the bathroom than I did when I was able to eat real food. I am sure it is because there is just no substance when you're drinking your meals. I really dislike this part the most. Oh well, it is what it is.
I know that in the long run, things that I do today that I may not enjoy will be worth it and I won't have to do them anymore. Also, when you think of the prep for a colonoscopy, this is way better. I can tell you that from experience. HAHA!
Off to work for the night. I have my lunch box packed with all of my special runny goodies. The vending machine will be muted tonight. I will NOT let it call to me. I will be strong and brave. After all, only 7 days left after tonight, and I will be at the finish line. Surgery will be done and I will be happy to have the new beginning.
Hugs,
Cody
