Day 1 of my 2 week no food (Jelly and Soup) pre op Liver Diet
Hi All,
Well the first day of none eating is now over, and I am about to go to bed, its 3am, and I don't feel too bad.
The day started just fine, I woke up about 9am and like normal spent a few hours on the computer faffing about. I never feel like eating when I get up so that was fine.
from the second I woke up I had a banging headache and just wanted to go back, but I just struggled on.
around about 1pm I made a move, had a shower and went out shopping for the right products to do this "Jelly and Soup" diet.
As soon as I left the house I felt like I needed to eat, I now realise the kind of routine I was in, I would normally feel the urge for food when leaving the house and today was no different, but I did resist, normally I would try to go for a low fat option like a sandwich, and if early enough a bacon roll, with the fat cut off, but today even though my mouth watered and my throat felt like it was calling for bacon I never gave in.
I went to asda and farm foods and between the 2 stores got everything I needed for the diet, including some little bowls to make the jelly's in. here is my shopping list...
Apple & Pear Squash
Strawberry Squash
Robinsons Orange Cordial
10x still water 2Lt
Washing powder (not essential for diet but may help with smell lol)
2x 6 plastic small bowls
2x mixing bowls
1x 2pt jug
1x sieve
shower gels
big tub of BOUILLON
Jar Bovril
Knorr Ham Cubes
Knorr Pork Cubes
Oxo Cubes
Lamb Oxo Cubes
Simmer Soups - Minestrone, 2x Chicken Noodle & ox Tail
Rocket Lollies
Pure Fresh apple Juice
5x small flavour water
10 double packs of different flavour jelly crystals (each pack makes a pint)
Total cost £54 = 2 weeks shopping, plus probably last longer
SO after the shopping I had that much heavy stuff I could not get it into the house from car, and had to let Chris do it for me :-(
After a bit more running about I ended up back on the computer for another hour or so and then went back to bed about 6pm to see if I could cure my head which was still banging.
I woke back up at 9pm, so I must have needed the sleep, I have not been so good at sleeping for the last week or so, I think through worry over the operation.
From 9pm till midnight I just faffed some more on the internet, staying logged into the forum hoping someone would come talk to me. then I had to go pick my brother up.
I got back in about 1.30 and again played on Facebook, and here I am now typing this out :-)
Today's food (well drinks) I have had are detailed below...
Day 1
Breakfast - Nothing
Diner - Nothing
Tea - Nothing
I have had 3 x 100ml ish of apple juice
1 cup of hot Drink Made with Knorr ham stock Cube

about 4 pints of Sugar free vimto with water
about 2 pints of blackcurrant with water
2 x iron tablets, 2 x calcium tablets and a huge multi vitamin
