Pre-op Diet: Day 1

So yesterday was the first day of my Pre-op diet.  I really thought it would be awful.  Horrible.  And I might want to kill someone.  But it actually wasn't too bad.  I had already stopped drinking sodas (that's pop to some of you) a few weeks ago and dropped caffeine (i.e. coffee) completely about a week ago.  So I think if I had done all of that at the same time, I would have died.  Or someone else may have.  Not naming any names though.

I really felt so much better than I expected to.  It almost makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong.  But I'm following the plan religiously.  Any time the slightest thought comes into my head about eating something 'not on the list', I remind myself of the doctor looking at my liver on the day of surgery and I know that HE will know if I followed the diet or not.  So I'm sticking with it. 

I'm a list person for sure, so I typed this up to help me keep track of what I "could eat".  I thought this was better than whining about what I could not eat.  Plus, I just love to check things off:

6/27/2013 Data:

Weight: 290.6
Exercise: 20 minutes of walking (with both boys!)
Food diary:  NOTE - the "Snacks" section is all 3 daily protein shakes added together.  I mix them with almond milk.  And the "Goal" numbers are left over from a previous diet, so just ignore those.
