March 5, 2009

Yesterday was a hard day. I was really craving chocolate, cookies, ice cream ... pretty much everything I need to avoid right now, (well and lets face it ... pretty much forever). I have stayed strong, but the temptation to just have a little is always there. Unfortunately, just a little is a very difficult thing for me right now. I have a plan for how I am going to handle this after surgery. (Obviously, I mean for when I am back to eating "normal" foods again). When I have a craving, I will occasionally have a bite of something. If I have a lot of something, there will be significant consequences in the nature of getting sick that I do not want to deal with! Steve, has already expressed willingness to share with me my token one bite when it is something that I really like. I appreciate him!

    Jenni,

    Hang in there! The last few weeks will be difficult. Are you limited to liquids during the last couple of weeks? There are things that the doctor told my wife to do to "help" shrink the liver before surgery to make the surgery easier.

    Hi Andrew!

    I have been on a special diet to help shrink the liver. I am still eating food, but the plan calls for me to eat 4 oz. of protein, 1 c. of vegetables, and 1 c. of fruit per meal ... and no snacking. I have not "cheated" since I started this blog. I have been on this diet since August, but did allow times to "cheat" for awhile. My dietician was very understanding!

    Thanks for the encouragement! :)
