Pre-Op Day 3

 Day 2 went well overall. I had prepared better for work and had a bison burger for dinner, along with steamed broccoli and cauliflower. It was definitely good! I tried some Pho broth (it came from the store, not a restaurant) and it was so-so, not my favorite. Not sure if I will finish that container. Will see.

Day 3 is going good as well. We went for a walk today down by the C & O Canal and that was nice. A bit longer than I should have done probably, we did 2 miles and it took about 45 minutes. Dinner again is the bison burger and with green beans. I will say it is so nice to have food at least once a day with drinking all the shakes and water. It's like a reward.

I was better today about drinking water. 

I'm not as hungry as compared to day 1 thankfully. But I do want something crunchy and the green beans hit the spot for sure.

I've done some prep work for tomorrow so that will be helpful.

Pre Op Diet

 Today is Day 1 of the Pre-Op Diet

It's really all about the shakes! Breakfast, snack and lunch and if I'm still hungry after dinner, another shake.

Breakfast was Quest Cinnamon Crunch, which I really like. I am going to try it with Fairlife Milk and see if I like that way (currently it's just with water) but the Fairlife will give me additional protein and that's helpful.

For lunch today it's Premier Protein Strawberries and Cream. Eh. It's fine, it tastes like strawberry milk and I can drink it fine. But I can see not drinking this every day. Thankfully I think I have enough variety to mix things up well enough.

I had a yogurt for a snack. One of my Keto ones and I will be shopping today for another variety that has less calories.

I have a Fairlife vanilla shake for my afternoon snack. I like their protein shakes a lot, though the vanilla one is better than their chocolate.

I am very curious what my average calories and carbs will be during this time. 

I also hope that I lose some weight in the next 2 weeks before surgery.

I am hungry. It's probably going to be tough and I will be hangry I'm sure. And I am tired. Hopefully my body gets a spurt once things settle down.

Ohhh and I feel a bit chilly too. It's amazing how the body reacts to diet changes!!
