Day 9 Pre-Op Diet... How do I feel?

Well... today is day 9. Now I am not going to lie, there were a few hard times in these past 9 days, but those were due mostly to behavioral issues. Actually, today I had my first growling stomache (thanks to a staff meeting when I would have been drinking my shake).

In actuality though, I have been alright. I am supposed to be doing 5 shakes a day and can have broth... I do not think I have done 5 shakes yet... usually 4 and found some bariatric low-carb, high protein soups (85 cals w/15g protein) that halp me make my day complete. I even work out throughout the week (By the way, that only works if I have about half my shake before and then the remainder right after).

I have a SF jello cup whenever I want a treat, H2O and plenty of SF drinks (like Crystal Light). I have to call in and verify my weight in 3 days and if my surgeon is not happy with my progress my surgery will be post-poned. This is what I think about most of the time. I can not even work because I am so caught up in the what ifs. It feels good to say it though. All you posters help me to keep going.

 

I wish every one the best of blessings, and will keep you posted!
