I completed the 1st week of the pre-op diet's phase 1. Another week of high protein low carb low fat, then on to milk and yogurt for 2 weeks. I feel fine, maybe a little tired, lost around 5-6 pounds so far. I know I tend to obsess over things and worry too much but I'm really scared I won't lose enough to go below 50 BMI before the operation...
I've been eating around 1000 kcal a day and Myfitnesspal keeps warning me I should eat at least 1200 or my body will go into starvation mode. I ate around 850 kcal today and I'm not sure what I want to do now... Do I want to eat more? Not really. Should I eat more? Probably. It's still only 9pm maybe I'll have a yogurt later.
I went to my friend's baby shower today. I got there at 1pm so I had a big (but good) breakfast to keep me going and I took my lunch with me to eat there before the others arrive. Spending an hour stuck on M25 in heavy rain, I didn't have much of an appetite anyway. It was good fun and because I just ate before the party began, I was absolutely fine resisting the cakes. I brought a yogurt with me in case I craved something sweet but I completely forgot about it and I didn't actually fancy anything sweet anyway.
Breakfast
Scrambled eggs with salmon and onion & chive cottage cheese
Lunch
Chicken breast pieces, some more cottage cheese, a leek cooked with a tiny bit of olive oil and a carrot
Dinner
King prawns cooked in chopped tomatoes
Snacks
6 mini gherkins - not sweet, those sour ones in vinegar
5 slices of wafer thin turkey ham
Hartley's sugar-free jelly
Total 861 kcal
Sooo... Week 1 finished. I'm a bit more nervous, a bit less excited and a bit more worried... But I still believe this is the best thing I'll do for myself :) x
