Day 2 - Coping with Hunger

I know I sound melodramatic, but believe me, no I don't. 

I went to sleep very hungry, my intestins sounded like a Carnegie Hall concert, I felt dizzy and nauseated, I just wanted to sleep and make this feeling go away. 


07:00 am - And so I woke up early in the morning. It feels so strange having to document every move I make, inject Victoza, take metphormine, drink chocolate maltshake (which by the way it tasted WONDERFUL) take 3 supplements, log in the special application so I can send all the info to the doctor. oh and measure glucose levels. 

I feel like a chemistry laboratory subject!

Having abdominal cramps, I'm just laying on my bed trying to calm down cause STILL I don't know if I can take any kind of pills (memo to me: need to ask Dr. ASAP)


Todays menu seems good. we'll see how it goes at 10:00 am.


Food Pictures pending.


---> STOMACH ACHE!! <---


10:00 am - Chicken noodle soup. I DEVOURED it in -literally- 60 seconds! It was soooo goood, tasted delicious, defintely will buy again. Can´t wait to eat again!. LOL

The stomach ache hurts like all the food I have ingested is struggling to get out. I won't get all specific on this but you can imagine. 


13:00 pm - Provenzal Bread with tomatoes (2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil) and Nopales. It tasted good. Still devouring food, although trying to go slower. 

Supplements and more supplements. 

Woke up from a nap. I have this TERRIBLE HEADACHE i have to control due to the fact my Dr. hasn´t answered wether I can ingest Tylenol or Advil. 

Will try mental control. 

16:00 pm - Fruity strawberry drink. Not my favorite but had to have something to eat, so I chugged it down and then followed it with water. oh! and supplements. 


---> HEAD ACHE!! <---


So I decided today to get my Blood Pressure taken. I had a doctors appointment and I was running late, so I literally ran to the pharmacy to have it taken. 

Of course, nobody told me I had to be calm to have a successful sample.  

I got there running and of course my BP was high. I decided to ignore it and maybe buy a personal BP taker to do it at home, when I' calm and maybe take it a couple of times a day.


19:00 - Yes, still HUNGRY! I had the crepes with lots of mushrooms, it was delicious. I was satisfyed. 


So satisfyed I fell asleep (just like yesterday) still with the headache and had recurring dreams of food, this time: Chinese. 


I woke up with my mouth watering! and ran for my bread (Simple Bread) so I went to the kitchen and my food radar saw mushrooms. I got the plate and started eating them meanwhile the bread was heating up. 


Ok so this is what happened. When I realized i was eating the vegetables I wasn't supposed to (but could) I stopped. And began munching on the bread I could have. 

On the last few bites, a strange flavour kicked in. OH NO. I had to spit it out gagging a bit. Yuck. 

I need to have a plan to put different flavours on food, or else I won't make it. 

It says on the instructions, I can add POWDER and only POWDER condiments. 

22:00 pm - Bread (with not scheduled mushrooms). 


The taste on my mouth is still there. I cannot wash it away. This bread is a no no. 


Head ache comes and goes now. 


What's difficult about this diet, is once you bought the food boxes, you're stuck with them for 15 days, You cannot exchange them, you cannot buy some more different flavors. you have to eat them and until next Dr. appointment he will give you the signed order and UNTIL THEN you can buy some more products. 


So I will be stuck with the horrible puddings and bread until the end of next week. Ugh!.
