Liquid Diet Begins
Today begins the 7 day liquid diet that leads up to the Lap-Band surgery. My surgery date is April 9th and time is set for noon. So what, you may ask, am I allowed to have on this liquid diet? Not much.
Coffee (yay!!)
Crystal Light
Jell-O (no red - don't want to mistake it for blood once theyr'e in there)
Milk (low fat or skim only)
Popsicles (no red again)
Tea
Vegetable/Chicken/Beef broths
Vitamin Water
Water
Won-ton soup (without the won-tons)
No carbonated liquids
Protein shakes - like Slim-Fast
And that's it! Yeah it's gonna majorly suck but it will be worth it in the end. So far I've had coffee and a Slim-Fast shake. Today won't be so bad. It's the next few days that will be really hard. So if I'm cranky you'll know why lol I haven't taken my before picture yet but I'll go ahead and put up my other stats.
Starting Weight: 257
Current Weight: 257
Goal: 130
I'll weigh again the night before surgery and then we'll go from there. Right - time for more coffee!
