My surgery is finally scheduled for 8/27. Starting my pre-op diet on the 13th and super nervous about only having shakes. Any one else scheduled close to my date? I need a buddy, bad:)

These shakes are horrid. Will this get any easier, because i want to cry right now. Im gaging. Help, any ideas!

Finally heard back from my nutritionist who gave me approval to eat eggs in the morning and chicken and veg for dinner. Shakes for lunch. Oh happy days!

Tomorrow I start my preop diet and I'm trying to figure out how am I going to stop eating at lunch time without any questions. Where I work we eat lunch together everyday and I'm no longer going to be part of that. I'm not planning on telling anyone because they often give me a hard time about diets and aren't the most supportive team. Should I share with my boss and listen to her judgments or just keep it under wraps? I'm confused and don't want to be the topic of water cooler discussions.

I know exactly what you mean. I finally told my boss because I couldn't hide the fact that I wasn't eating lunch with her anymore. Now she's pressuring me to tell our other lunch buddy because she keeps asking her why I'm not eating. I'm not wanting to do that because she's a judgey mc judgerson! They would only want to telling me how I'll fail because diets don't work, just like before. I'm having a hard time with this.

You go girl! Nicely done. My band date in 8/27 and I can't wait to finally start having a tool to help me on my adventure.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm not comfortable with people knowing because everyone have to have a opinion. Like other times I've tried dieting, it ends up with those people waiting for you to fail.
