I am currently following what I less than affectionately call the Torture Diet. My doctor calls it the Protein Sparing Modified Fast diet. For five days (in my case five and a half as I will not have testing until 1pm on the sixth day) My diet is as follows: Three ounces of meat (anything lean of my choice - pork, chicken, fish, lean beef) three times a day. One cup of broth three times a day. And at least 2 liters of non caloric beverage a day.
I am actually not quite as hungry as I expected. I'm hungry, don't get me wrong, but I expected to be miserable with it. Its just mildly unpleasant. However, I have headaches, my eyes are all sore, my sinuses are irritated, I am cranky and emotional. I am actually really thankful that the last two days are going to be on the weekend, so I don't have to be around my coworkers - or anyone other than my husband for that matter!
The good news for those of you who may read this while you are considering surgery - this diet seems to be pretty rare. Just a special little bit of torment for my Doctor's patients. Yay us!
