Working through It
Well, I have been doing this my own way and being very anal about how I do it...I have allowed myself a meal here or there....well, if you can call it a meal. This morning was a meal. I made low fat mini quiche and had two. So, this gives me 5 grams of fat today. Yesterday I had some fat free refried beans with a tbs of light sour cream and a tbs of 2% cheese and salsa. That gave me about 5 grams of calories also. Some other nights I had just refried beans, fat free of course. I have a really good dinner planned for the 4th, with chicken, sugar free baked kidney beans, spinach, and sweet potato hash browns. The whole meal has 6 grams of fat. That will be my last meal before my surgery, which is on the 14th, so I will have 9 whole days of liquids. I have been really keeping my fat low when I eat so I am sure I am still doing what I need to to shrink this liver and take off a few lbs before the surgery. I have not been eating every night, but found I just had to at times. I feel good about how I have handled this...just could not go completely cold turkey to all liquid diet. And once I have the surgery I will not feel the hunger like I have through some of these days leading up to it.
You need to do what is best for you. You are doing great!!! Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI read the newer post and then I landed on this one.....so I'm just elated as heck that you GET it! Seriously. I had to come to an understanding of what my thinking was doing to my whole LIFE, not just my waistline/dress size. My attitude and way of looking at things had to go a different route and did.
ReplyDeleteI'm really, really hopeful cuz I think you get it! Which makes the whole surgery WORK.
k.....that's just my perception. LOL
But gosh, I'm excited for you!
