Since I am writing this post now I probably will not be writing another one tonight. Something I didn't take into account for timing this liquid diet is the way my stupid ass period makes me feel; hungry, cranky, tired, hungry, fat, bloated, and did I mention HUNGRY!? One serving of shake or cottage cheese still fills me up but between "meals" I get that gnawing hunger. Luckily this will not happen again until a week after my surgery so I will have a bit of time to heal before it becomes an issue. I also tend to get cravings, mostly around this time I crave red meats or spicy foods, and generally I give in to my menstrual cravings pretty easy. I though it was to ignore the anger and frustration..I thought wrong, apparently when left unfulfilled there is a cumulative effect that is just not there for me during normal cravings. Right now for example I want a roast with carrots onions and potatoes, baked potato salad, a chef salad with french, pizza, a chicken crunch wrap supreme, wet burritos, and a rare to med rare thick cut steak with a buttery sweet potato on the side....ohh and butter bread.
Right now Brad is allowed 3 shakes and 3 additional cups of milk, he seems to be doing alright on it but he has not come home yet, tonight while he does not have work to distract him it might be a different story. The things I can eat that he cannot right now I am trying not to shove in his face. I'm eating while he is at work when I can and when I can't I try to time it when he is distracted. This diet is hard, and watching someone eat something delicious you can't have sucks.
Ok so upside, today when Brad got home for lunch I seemed to pep up a little and accomplished a few things, as soon as he left I was right back to feeling unmotivated but I made myself do stuff anyway, so I am feeling like I'm going to be able to get a few things done over the next few days. I just have to not get distracted by the television.
