Pre-op Day 1

Well today i started my first day of my pre-op diet. It was rough. The shakes made me feel sick, not very pleasant. Really hoping this gets better and easier as the days go on. Sitting in class this morning after drinkin my first shake and seeing everyone else eat food was very difficult thumbs_down.gif , But i got thru it somehow. I know one of my biggest problems is that i get frequent headaches and i can no longer take advil for them, tylenol has very limited help, so i really want these next two weeks to fly by. I have a great support network, my parents are very supportive and encouraging, My close friends are amazing and keep encouraging me, it really is helping me get through this and keep me on track.

I have 13 days till my surgery, little excited, nervous, the usual. Im more excited than nervous though. This will hopefully be a good start in a new lifelong adventure.

What kind of shake are you drinking? Some of them have a slimey texture and they make me feel sick also. Try Muscle Milk or Muscle Milk Light. They have a great taste. I have no problem drinking those all day, and once I blend them up they stay pretty blended the rest of the day.
