This has been a rough week. I am a week in on the pre-op diet with one week left. Honestly I am doing fine with the diet itself. It is hard watching my family eat things that I love and just can't have. I thought being at work would make the days easier, but my coworkers are constantly having food delivered and bring in cupcakes/donuts/cookies to share. To top it off, trying to find pureed food recipes (because I wasn't ready for this part of the diet to start while I am in the hospital!) for when I get home is giving me crazy cravings! I do keep reminding myself of why I am doing this and in my mind and heart I know them verbatim. But my stomach isn't listening, lol. Add in to all that that I started taking iron last week because mine is low, I am now having headaches and a general crappy overall feeling that I wasn't expecting. But it will be okay. I just have to stick it out. It gets worse before it gets better, but my stomach just doesn't want to listen right now.
