Pre-Op Liquid Diet: Day 5

Pretend these are grapefruits.

Sweet holy hormones, peoples. My gahd, today was shiiiiitty. I wanted to knife everyone around me and almost started crying in the grocery store when the grapefruits spilled out of the produce bag. I felt like I was a bumbling character in a silent movie: grapefruits everywhere.

My body is trying to make sense of what I'm putting it through. Going from ~3000 calories a day down to >1200 is a big change. Today was also the first day that I saw a sign for a food item where I had a physical I-WANT-IT-NOW reaction. It was a sign for 2 doughnuts for $1 at 7/11. Fuck'n 7/11. IHATETHEMSOBADRIGHTNOW!!!!

In other news, I've found a FANTASTIC end of the day snack. Put a Cookies & Creme OhYeah! smoothie and a frozen banana in a blender. Ooooohmygah. So good.

I also tried a protein shake suggested by Shelly at TheWorldAccordingToEggFace since I wanted to branch out a bit. It is as follows:

Butterscotch Shake
8 oz. water or 4 oz. soy milk/4 oz. water
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 T. SF Jello Butterscotch Pudding Powder
2 Ice Cubes 

Place water in the blender first, then powder, then additions. Blend on low then high till well blended.

The problem is that I tried it with the vanilla egg protein powder. Lemme tell ya a little some'n about blending egg protein. It foams. A lot. *whispering* So much foam.

P.S. Did you know that the plural of grapefruit can either be grapefruit or grapefruits? Isn't that interesting? When I was proofing this entry, the word "grapefruits" seemed really weird to me. It reminded me of my girlfriend from Taiwan who pronounces the plural of foot as feets. I've always thought that was so adorable. Makes me want to call them grapefeets now. Heh heh.
