Alrighty then...I've been on the strict 'green sheet - 24 hour diet' for 2 days now and moving into the 3rd week for another 24 hours. I'm reporting into Dr Fitzer's office daily to discuss my progress with nurse Michelle. Today we've finally pinpointed what is happening with me. First of all, I'm feeling hunger which Michelle agrees with, but second of all, I'm not yet feeling satisfaction or fullness from eating. This is causing the nausea as I'm eating too much, even though they recommend 1/2 cup per meal.
I'm still learning alot about my new lifestyle and sometimes it becomes frustrating to know exactly how much you're supposed to eat. They kept telling me, 'When you feel the satisfaction, you'll know you've had enough'. After eating my meals, and waiting, and eating, and waiting, and eating and waiting to feel the satisfaction, obviously I've eaten too much and feel nauseated since the food just has no more room.
At least now I have some kind of understanding on what is going on. So far, I'm still not able to eat much. About 5 tablespoons of loose mashed potatoes was what I ate for lunch and felt nauseated for 15 mintues after eating. So now I know, no more than 4 tablespoons for me!
What a journey I tell ya. And to top all of that, I lost 4 lbs just yesterday on the clear liquids. Gosh!
Cheers,
Dee :D
