WLS day -14

Mar 01, 2011

OK...Bad food day...This is the first day of my 14-day 800 calorie pre-surgery diet.  I opted to use Medfast products for this 2 week adventure.   Well my day went like this:

My train to work was a little late.  Normally I arrive to my office at 7:15  I got there today at 7:30.  Fixed a pot of decaf, unlocked my office door, turned my computer and a message pops up that I'm 11 minutes late for a meeting.  SIGH!  So I grab my note pad and headed to the meeting.  The meeting ended 9:00.  I get back to my office thinking OK now I can get a cup of coffee and fix my first Medifast meal (microwave eggs) .  But, just three steps behind me were  three of my associates..I had a 9:00 conference call...SIGH and no time for coffee or eggs.  This meeting also ended late.  Fortunately my daughter (who is also my support person) works at the same company and stopped by to check on my first days VLCD progress.  Soon as she realized I had not ate she fixed my eggs.  She had to guess how much 4ozs of water was.  I guess she got it right the eggs weren't so bad.   

The rest of the day's meals were a little bit of a struggle.  The shakes were just ok, a little chalky, the beef stew was tolerable, the peach oatmeal for me was very yucky (although my daughter did like it).  I fixed me a cup of chicken broth and put wayyy to much pepper in it.   So by now I'm thinking "how am I going to survive another 13 days on this stuff".

It's 11:23 and as I write this log for the day.. I'm still hopeful that tommorrow will go a litle better than this one.
