Congrats! I am 2 weeks post op. So sore the first week but overall feeling good 😀

WTG on not cheating. Have you tried spacing out your meals? My preop is 3wks long and the only thing stopping me from killing anyone is having a meal every 2-3hrs.

I drink my first Protein Drink at 6 on the way to work, second drink is around 1230ish or 1, and the last drink is about 630ish. That is my 90 grams of Protein that I am required to drink. Should I probably half the drinks and drink the last half in between those times?

Ok guys. Back again complaining about the pre-op liquid diet. I have not cheated nor will I and for that I want to pat myself on the back, but I need y'alls tips on these headaches. I am drinking my Protein Shakes and well over 64 oz. of Water a day and the headaches and lightheadedness is wearing me thin and I am sooooo tired. Not sure how the next five days are going to go.

You got this! Maybe get away from the house or where there is temptation? A walk perhaps...I would say a drive but not with these gas prices lol.

LOL!!! Def. no more driving to clear the head. I'm literally just at work typing away. I have gotten up over ten times today to take walks. There really aren't any temptations around; it's all mental really. I am glad I can recognize it and be strong, but goodness the inconvenience of the mind sometimes!!

On my liquid diet and this head hunger is a nuisance. 8 days until surgery!

It’s June !!!!!!!! This is our Month !!!!!!

Excited and nervous all at once!

I know this feeling. I'm going through it now. I blame it on my hormones and my cycle about to start. I want everything sweet, but I'm sticking to my pre-op diet. I'll be able to have it again...just not right now! You are almost there. Wishing you the best on the 2nd! I'll be joining your bench on the 15th! 🙂

I'm scheduled for June 15 with Dr. Andrade in Tijuana.
