It's the final countdown!

      Yesterday I began the hard part of this journey.  Two weeks of nothing but liquids,and one protein bar a day.   My diet will consist of 3-5 protein drinks/shakes and one ketojenix (sp) bar, and no caffiene 😢 We do this for different reasons:

1. reduce the size of our liver
2. reduce the size of our belly fat
1. It gives the doctor a better view when operating
3. To help get us in the habit of liquids the first 2 weeks after surgery.   We'll be like a baby training our new stomachs.  

Day 1 wasn't too bad until I had to go to Sam's to get some protein shake and there was food everywhere.  Then there's nothing but food on social media.  I may have to take a vacation from that too...at least for a few days until I get a better grip on it.  

That was my food journal for yesterday....I added an extra shake at the end of the day so my total calories were 867 and protein was 146 g.  

Today I'm not feeling so hot.  A dull headache that won't go away and no energy.  Just blah feeling.   I'm hoping this doesn't last all 2 weeks.  My nutritionist said the first 48 hours are the hardest...so only 14 hours to go 😬

I will check in later on in the week and let you know how I'm doing and how much weight I lost week one.   Pray for me to have endurance and to fight temptations that come my way!
