So I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. It turns out I can have snacks but only veggies with no dip. I am doing okay other than feeling a little like I am walking around in a fog. My hunger is kind of a dull yearning but it isn't too bad. The worse part is the smells. Cake baking in the oven. Pizza being eaten by my kids. French toast being cooked by my hubby for the kids. I really want a cheeseburger and a Dr. Pepper. I had my pre-op appointment today and the doctor told me that if he gets in to do the surgery and my liver didn't shrink enough because I cheated on the diet, then he wouldn't be able to do the surgery. That is incentive enough for me to stay the course but, believe me, it sucks greatly.
Luckily, I have 12 kids who keep me busy and help keep my mind off of the fact I can't eat anything great. Tonight's dinner consisted of baked salmon with garlic and basil and a small salad with low fat italian dressing. My hubby and kids had Papa John's Pizza becaue my crock pot decided to go out shortly after I turned it on and we didn't discover it until 4 hours later. My then my Cream Cheese Crock Pot Chicken Chili was ruined. Will try again tomorrow I guess.
TTFN
