Congratulations woman! I haven't been on here for awhile so I had to catch up with whats going on with you. So basically in a week you will be having surgery. I'm excited for you. What did you decide on for your accommodations?
Your pre-op diet is different than mine. You must have a lower starting bmi. What are your stats as of now?

I was actually just looking through my diet a few minutes ago and I have a similar sounding pre op diet. It goes 1 shake with Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and with Lunch you get 2oz lean meat, 1 slice of whole grain bread and lettuce and tomato and with dinner you get 1/2C potato or rice, 3oz lean meat, 1/2 C cooked veggies or 1-2C of raw salad with salad spritzers. Anyway I struggle with with my carbs.... I am just not even sure I could handle having the slice of bread and rice or potato without going overboard.

Pammers, Monday will be here before you know it!! That IS exciting!
Good luck I will be following in your footsteps on the 22nd!

I'm on Day 2 of 7....it sucks. I'm hungry, have already cheated a little (improvised) to help me get thru it. My surgery is Monday. I'm sooo excited. I wondered today if my Liver has shrunk any too. =~}

I thought about the same thing as you..(chewing something, then spitting out),,when I go to my pre op..I like to look at others before and after pictures, for my inspiration..I hear the pre op is one of the hardest things to do, but my Nutritionist said it wont kill us,,we will survive! Hang in there!!
