HI everyone-
I'm on day 2 of the pre-op diet, and while I'm not hungry, I'm exhausted! I contemplated pulling a George Costanza and sleep under my desk during lunch. Unfortunately, I'm the only HR person here so my plan has been foiled by this open door policy. How are you guys combating the fatigue? I've already had 3 liters of Water, and keep getting up to make sure my blood is flowing.
Thanks for your help!

@ Amy Wolf,
You are so close to surgery, I am scheduled for Dec 17. I hope all goes well. Please keep in touch with after surgery to let me know how it all went. The nervous feeling for me has not kicked in, probably because I'm a week and some days away lol.

I didnt think to drink Gatorade. I can chug down about a 32 oz of Water (when added crystal light) in about 45 minutes but it requires a lot of restroom breaks.

The food for me is different, I know I'm hungry but when I pass a fast food place I become disgusted because that's what got me here. I have actually cheated with maybe eating Soup for lunch when I shouldn't have or adding more soup during dinner time. My fiance told me to add Water to the soup lol which drives me insane, the little flavor that is has is gone.

My sugar was down to about 50 and my co worker gave me some of her honey bun but i started to freak out afterwards lol

Hello Everyone,
I am currently day 6 in my pre-op diet. Days 1,3 & 5 I did cheat a little but I have a different diet than most. My diet consist of 2 Protein shakes 1-2 sugar free Snacks and 1 soup-low sodium/low fat non creamy. The last 2 days before surgery are nothing but Clear liquids.

I have talked to my doctor about my Soup choices and they indicated chili with turkey was actually an acceptable meal for Soup. I have read some people lost weigh during their pre-op but I have not. With the Protein Shakes, Jello and pudding in between, I am waiting for the dinner time for the soup and I have to drink about 16-24 oz of Water to fill full. It does not help that I work customer service listening to complaint all day with a headache. I sometimes find myself a little snappy which is not the normal case.

Does anyone have any good hearty soup choices? Campbell's is what I have been eating so far.
How is the pre-op diet going for everyone else? The main thing that has been keeping me from cheating lately is because I try to keep track of the ultimate goal. It is harder for me at work than it is on my off days.
