      seattleslew, it does get easier I promise. I am on day 7 of my 2 week liquid pre-op. It got much easier around day 5. I went through a couple days where I wanted to quit and reschedule surgery. I am in a much better place mentally now and am ready for next Monday. Samirax6, stick with it. Good luck :)

      Yes seatleslew stay the course it will get better. What are you mixing

      It with? I put instant decaf coffee in mine. Are you allowed any greens or broth while on it? I've read so many different people are allowed different things. Im only permitted the opti shakes water and sugar free jelly. I have 14 days left of this diet then I have my surgery RNY. So you got this you can do it! Just one shake at a time. Should you happen to slip dont beat yourself up about it just get right back to the next shake meal. Good luck :-) Val

      @ Valerle congrats your almost their how long are you doing it in total and I can't remember are you doing shakes?

      @ seattleslew I know what you mean I have little ones 3 who are 5 and under and big kids that make trying the preop difficult. That is why I am doing the low carb thinking it would be better then the shakes but it is the same, hang in there, how many weeks are you doing it?

      @ rodemom969 thanks I am trying today waking up was not so good but getting through the day is working out now to finish dinner and see how I do tonight.

  13. Ending day 1 of the pre-op on a positive note it wasn't a bad day even though I did come in under calories and just over the min. protein intake!

      Day 4 will be the worst for you. I don't know why but it is for most of us...Just work through it and keep busy. It will be done in no time at all!

    3. Samirax6

      Samirax6

      @ Valerle mine is 4 weeks, that is 28 days and now 27 left!!! @ RJ's I think it hasn't hit yet I have been watching my carbs for a while and eating only 40-50 grams daily is the same plan I used when I had gestational diabetes less then 2 years ago. So I am hoping my body remembers!!! Thanks guys for your support :)

    1. Valerie Mercer-Spencer

      Valerie Mercer-Spencer

      I have been on it now for 12 days. First 3 were hard but now I am a pro! :-)

    2. Samirax6

      Samirax6

      LOL that is good to know!! Today I am just sleepy so far, although I normally don't eat my high carbs till lunch, but I think that anxiety over it is kicking in. How does your menu look for your plan? When will you have your surgery??
