"liguid" diet

So yesterday I started out with a slim fast, no worries... then a friend said, just do it tomorrow!  So I said, you konw, you're right!  So I had a bag of funyuns (NANCY!) and a grape soda for lunch.  LOL  Then for dinner, I thought it would be nice to have Bill Sharp's once last time.. Bill Sharp's is this tiny family run BBQ joint a couple miles away from the base.  By the time dinner rolled around, I was feeling queasy again, but went to Bill's non the less.  I got ribs, fries and a salad.  I only had a few fries, one bite of the $2 bowl of lettuce and maybe 2 ribs... those were the worst ribs we've ever had from there.  They were tough and dry.. I was bummed.  Oh well, I guess that's what I get for "starting tomorrow."  lol KARMA!   SO... tomorrow is here!  I had a can of slim fast about an hour after I got up.  I went for a short walk while my son rode his bike and I drank a whole bottle of water!  YAY!  Now I'm slowly eating a slim fast bar (not great, but not the worst thing I've ever eaten) it's cookie dough and I'm drinking some splenda kool aid with protein powder mixed in.. I wanted to try my new protein, so I am.  It's strawberry kiwi, and it's pretty good.. well, I did mix it with strawberry kiwi kool aid, but it's still not bad. So, day 1 (well, 2) off to a great start.  I'm going to take my vits after this stuff is down so they wont make me sick.. yay! Thanks for reading my crazy stuff!

Karma sucks!  but oh well, good start today!!  Found out last week that I am diabetic & trying to eat better for that and I'm finding pasta is my weekness.  Also went off of caffine, switched to crystal lite, that's not bad at all.  What kind of protein are you using in your kool aid?  Can you taste it?  I've been thinking about you, knowing that your 2 weeks liquid protein would start soon.  Stay Strong!!!  Just think about what the reward will be for these next 2 wks.   I will be praying for you. ((((Hugs))))   Angy

Thanks for blogging your "crazy stuff."  It's a big help to those of us who plan to travel that road.  Where did you get your prodein powder?  Have you tried  Special K's protein drinK?  Can you still have coffee???  Sorry, i could ask questions forever.  Hang in there! Hugs, Deb

Awww!  Thanks you two!  Really, thank you.. sometimes posting seems like a waste of time, or that ppl are not interested or that you're boring... it's nice to read that you're interested.  Ok, souding way co-dependent there, sorry!  LOL   The protein powder I bought is called Nectar.  It's a fruit flavored protein drink made to mix in water and here's the low down!  LOL  It's not juice.. imagine that, right?  It's sweet, too sweet for some, but it's not too bad for me..  It does taste like the flavor is supposed to, but it has a sort of "good for you" after or behind taste..  that's the only way I can describe it.  Like I said, it's not bad at all, it just has a taste behind the flavor to let you know it's something..  It's totally worth trying though.  I'm NOT a fan of those milk based protein drinks, so this is the one for me. I went to the commissary for the case lot sale and stood in line for about two hours, all the while sipping away on my little nectar protein drink.  Then once that was gone, I got hungry.  I was hungry in the grocery store, full of things I couldn't have.  Who needs water torture!?  I got some chicken broth, brought it home, added a little salt and a dash of garlic.  It was pretty yummy! ANGY, did you see the 60 mins special on GB and diabetes?  You'll be so blessed when you have this surgery.  I've heard that those Crystal Lite drinks are really yummy, but I can't have them.  I'm a freak and I'm allergic to Aspartame, the main artifical sweetner used by most "diet" drinks.  I have to be careful with what I eat or drink, that's why I had to make my own kool aid with splenda.  It sucks, but it's ok, I've found ways around it. DEB, I don't think you're supposed to have caffine after the surgery, but I know some ppl work around that.  I just recently got into coffee, with those frappucinno's, and those were full of sugar, so I guess it's not too bad giving those up.  In the book, it says you can have black, decaf coffee... but what's the point, right? Alright, gotta get my paper done, finals are right around the corner.. just ahead of my surgery!  I'm holding strong today, here's to 12 more! lol

i drink decaff coffee...with s/f and l/f creamer and protein powder makes a GREAT capucinno Jan....i been real sick today and still am...head is real bad...friend also took my sugar and its 92 is that low? im sorry i didnt make it today but i will tmrw or asap...hugs and love

92 really isnt low for your sugar. so dont know what is going on. You are going to have to get that straight girl. That is ok i dont think you should be driving that far if your head is doing what it has been. there will be another week end .... I have been doing that with my protein powder and have come up with some really good capucinnos. you can get mixie sticks in the coffee section that is sweetened with splenda that add a neat flavor to it too. Im in to mocha right now. 

Dr said it could take 2 weeks and its been 6 days.... mixie sticks? tell me more pls

Are you kidding me???  Funyuns....???  That's funny!!!!....LOLOLOLOL
