Pre-op shake 1

Well, the day is finally here. I started my 3 week pre-op diet this morning with a strawberry Opti-fast shake.

 

This may come as a shock to some but I thought the consistency was great and is was delicious.

 

If the chocolate and vanilla are just as good; I am going to have no problem drinking 5 of these a day.

 

We'll know by the end of the day how well they suppress my appetite.

 

 

* Gained a pound since yesterday and I am not going to kill myself over it. I will probably lose 3 tomorrow.

 

So, I am officially starting pre-op at 289. My goal is 275 after 3 weeks.

How are you doing after a few days on the protein drinks? Hopefully they agree with your digestive system and it's easy for you.

I'm doing great. Thanks for asking!

I guess it's about time I added another entry.
