Big Lou

Thank you !

Sept 18

No I'm not on clear liquids ,my pre op is a little different than some , Protein shake for Breakfast , a small price of fruit mid morning , a Protein Bar at lunch , and small fruit mid afternoon ,3 oz lean protein and salad with fresh veggies for dinner no limit on the salad or veg as long as its fresh veg . Also the dressing is balsamic vinaigrette following the serving size. And sf Jello or Popsicles , any sugar free drink. But no mention of chicken boilion,

Yep , day four of my pre op diet ! Down 11 pounds , I think I veered off coarse today I had a cup of chicken boilion not sure if I spelled that correctly or not . I couldn't help my self I needed something otter than sf jello or crystal light. I can do this I am doing this eye on the prize I keep telling myself !!!

Congrats on your surgery !!

Good luck

Thanks kristy !!

Pre op diet starts tommorow !

Thanks I do have short term disability at work ..

Thanks for the replys ,I'm going to ask my doc to reconsider time off ! I surely don't want to screw any thing up !!

Thanks for the reply , that's what I'm thinking also 4 weeks isint long enough !

Hello friends, I'm still pre op until sept 18 my big day ! My question is my dr said 4 weeks off to recover I'm not sure that's going to be enough time . I work on a highway crew, alot of manual physical labor involved with my job . Lifting shoveling and so on ! Is four weeks enough time to heal properly ? Anybody else have a physical demanding job ? There is no light duty work at my place of employment ..

Congrats !!

Good luck and congrats !!

The salad is for dinner also no cheese or any croutons and two teaspoons of balsamic vinaigrette dressing only !!
