"Liquid" Diet Day (15 days & counting)

So today started the "liquid" diet. It's in quotations because they do allow some carrot sticks, cucumbers, and cauliflower if I ever feel the need to "crunch" something.

When I first made the chocolate protein shake, it was kind of nasty. To me it tasted like left over milk after eating the cereal cocoa puffs. Even had a bit of grit to it too. Since I have to drink these 3 times a day I tried letting it sit longer in the fridge to help chill it even more and that seemed to smooth it out and the chill really did help. It's tolerable now. So now I am pre-mixing the shakes and making sure I am shaking them several times a day before drinking.

The chicken noodle soup was okay as well. I think the suggestion the nutritionist gave for making it with broth was a good suggestion. It was a lot more palatable. Tomorrow I am trying the minestrone mix.

The last is the fiber fruit drink. Since it's a fruit punch I filled a whole bottle of water (20oz) added the fruit mix and also a packet of fruit punch Crystal Light. Same flavors so they meshed perfectly. I didn't feel like measuring out 1 cup of water for it.

Aside from the shakes being. . . .uh . . . tolerable (if I drink them really fast) everything else is okay.

I've been full all day and I am almost done with the fruit drink and I still have one more shake to get down. I don't know if I can get it down though. But it's mixed and waiting!

I also had my OJ with my iron, a SF jello cup, and a SF yogurt smoothie.

The good news is that I am no longer on my BP and Metformin meds.

It's going to be a difficult 2 weeks but doable.
