Two days!

And I'm down with an awful head cold. I'm really hoping this won't impact my surgery in any negative ways, I've been taking vitamin C supplements along with my regular vitamins in hopes it'll help. :( For now, all I can do is drink lots and lots and lots of liquids in preparation for Thursday, and hopefully I'll kick it's ass before too long.

So! Day two of my "phase two" diet, the diet I have to follow for three days before and around six weeks after my surgery is done. Thankfully, it's easier than I thought it would be. The protein shakes are surprisingly tolerable, and the oatmeal and soup are marvelous. I can so imagine getting sick of this soon, but for now it's okay! I'm not as hungry as I thought I would be, actually!

I am really tired though, and it seems odd how fatigued I am. I think I'm just used to a lot higher calorie count than I've gotten? Anyway, yesterday, this is what I ate:

Breakfast
One Muscle Milk Light, vanilla-flavored
100 calories, 15g protein
One packet Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal
160 calories, 7g protein

Lunch
8oz V8 Tomato & Herb Soup
90 calories, 3g protein
6oz 2% milk with whey protein
230 calories, 31g protein

Dinner

One packet Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal
160 calories, 7g protein

Tall Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino Light with 3 scoops Protein

180 calories, 24g protein

920 calories consumed. That's not so bad, especially considering I managed in well enough protein. I may need to cut back on the protein actually, considering I need to get 45-55 grams a day and I managed to shoot over that quite a bit. Also, I think I may start getting up early in the morning to take walks around my block, at least get some cardio exercise in. :)
