The Liver Shrinking Diet

OMG OMG OMG!!!!  That is really what I have to say about the liver shrinking diet!  I had to start this 2 weeks before my surgery and honestly didn't think it would be that bad.  Oh friend of mine, boy was I VERY wrong!  Let me start by telling you what I'm "allowed" to eat....

Breakfast

a sugar free carnation instant breakfast

Snack

4 oz of low fat yogurt

Lunch

a protein shake that has less than 200 calories

Snack

small piece of fruit

Dinner

3 oz of lean meat (chicken or fish)

salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing OR

1 cup of vegetables

Snack

small piece of fruit

It is horrible!  I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I haven't cheated.  Because let's be real here, if I had this sort of discipline would I be having to have this surgery?  Yeah, I didn't think so either!  When I say I've cheated I'm talking I had tuna fish for lunch not like a huge steak. And let me tell you I haven't been the happiest camper to be around either!  BUT I am glad that I'm getting this out of my system now and not next week.  NEXT WEEK?  I can't believe in one week I'll be done with my surgery and back to my home away from home....The Hyatt of Greensboro! :)  Well I gotta get to bed!  The one good thing about this diet is I have been sleeping so good at night because I have NO energy!  Not really a good thing for my daily activities but I'm taking it one day at a time!  

Oh on a really awesome note about this diet, I have already lost 9 pounds since last Tuesday!
