Pre-Op Diet

I started my pre-op diet today and I must admit that I am STARVING. I honestly never realized how much I mindlessly snack. YIKES!! I am trying to eat foods very high in protein and low in fat and sugar. I have really enjoyed everything I have eaten so far today. I am also increasing my water intake. I am actually drinking Crystal Light because regular water gives me the hiccups, I have no clue why.

I made myself a food journal to track what I am eating and all the nutrition values. If you would like a copy feel free to email me. I would be more than happy to send it to you. It is very basic but helps to show me exactly what I am eating and how much! I found an awesome sight that I put in my links to the right; it is called "The Daily Plate" they have awesome nutrition information on just about every food and brand imaginable! Check it out!

The nutritionist wanted me to walk for 30 minutes a day. It is really cold and rainy out today so I am going to do the stairs instead. At the building I work in a lot of the ladies walk the back stairs between the floors. I work on the 5th floor so I am hoping to start with 3 sets of all 5 flights. I will report back later with my results; that is if they didn't need to call a code blue and I am on life support...hahahaha. Kidding. I work in a health care center so one of my coworkers and I were joking about that!

Ta-ta for now! :0)
