I'm on my 8th day of my pre op diet. I have 3 Protein shakes/day and no more than 250 calories of low glycemic vegetables. To be honest most times I'm happy with my shakes and not a lot of veggies. It's easier than you think! You got this!

I started my pre op diet Thursday, September 8th. Feeling nauseous today, not tolerating Protein shakes or food well today. Has anyone had this issue? My pre op diet is 14 days, 3 Protein Shakes a day and no more than 250 calories of low glycemic vegetables.

Write down three things you did right today and focus on your positives. Focusing on the negative will only make them larger. You got this. Positive self talk!!! The sugar and bread isn't worth it!

You've got to give yourself a good, swift kick in the ass and get back at it!
You've lost THIRTY THREE pounds in less than 8 weeks...when have you EVER done that before?? I've lost 48 in TEN WEEKS...why would either of us sabotage ourselves at this point? We've had this huge, life-changing surgery and to not change our lives would be such a colossal lost opportunity. Stop eating bread and crap that's not helping you right now. Jump back into Protein shakes if you need, to reset your head and your stomach.
I've watched you since you got here (your photo grabbed my attention, I'm an OR nurse!) and you've been so upbeat and ON PLAN. Stop yourself from slipping into bad habits RIGHT NOW and get back on track! I'll message with you every day, I'll come back to this thread every day, we can share what we've eaten, I'll cry with you and yell at you and you can yell at me...but don't let this momentary bump in the road turn into anything bigger. You can do this. WE can do this, all of us.

I like you! @shelterdog34 I want you on my side too!

I'll make sure I speak with my surgeon about blood thinners and compression socks. Thank you!

Four hours total over 2 flights on Wednesday. No problem.

You will get to talk to your surgeon- you might need blood thinners to prevent blood clots.

Good grief that's a pile of food for a pre-op diet compared to what most of us were restricted to.
You'll never be hungry with that much intake. Space it out over even intervals and the ride it out. The time will pass swiftly and you'll have great weight loss momentum going into the surgery.

Sure beats the 3-4 Protein Shakes that my surgeon allowed per day.
Sounds like a buffet by comparison, lol.
You can do it. It's all worth it in the end.

Thank you for sharing! You are inspiration to me. I'm just beginning my journey and it's people like you who reaffirm I'm making the right decision and can do this!!!

Not sure why it'd be frowned on around here.
It's a part of life and a damned important part, too.
Sex is much better now than before.
Now, I know that I broke the bed due to effort.......not due to weight.
