i've been a bit behind in keeping up this blog. my apologies. not much to report other than now on day 12 without any solid food; just protein shakes. i can't believe i've not craved ANY thing. typically, i eat EVERY thing that isn't nailed down. this 14-day diet certainly breaks you from mindless eating. i even have temptations in the house, too, but have not had the inclination to taste or devour. i'm really proud of me.
two more days until surgery day. i've been shoppping for more supplies for at least two weeks--benefiber, pepcid, and more bandages.
three days ago i had three teeth extracted, all of them my chewing teeth. so that should aid me in keeping on track cuz i won't have any teeth to grind my food. however, by the time i get to the tough meat portion of the diet progression, i may have new partials and then it will be easier, i hope. otherwise i'll be pureeing food for a longggggggggggggg time.
today and tomorrow i'm spending cleaning up apartment and doing laundry. then gonna take long shower and give myself a pedicure and a shave. (don't want the docs to get their hands hung up in the bush, if u know what i mean and i think you do. :)) )
got more supplies to pick up tomorrow like a water filter, some bottled water and more protein drinks.
i need to pack a few things for hospital stay, i guess. i've not had an overnight stay in one in decades, so i don't know what is provided for you, but i'm taking my own toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. hope i get one of those cool water bottles but, if not, i'll take my blender bottle. that is the coolest invention. i love the stainless steel blender that keeps the protein from clumping in your liquids. check them out at blenderbottle.com,. they can do so much more than blend protein.
back to cleaning.
