You are not in control of that. You have to put your faith in your surgens. Know that they are skilled and professional. Of course I'm telling myself this as much as I'm telling you :confused:). I'm worried how I'm never going to have beer or sodas again.!!

I got protein powder from the gym and added 1/4 cup of tofu. Mixed with ice and water in blender. Makes a great creamy shake with lots of protein.

Madduck, we have the same day. I'm having mine in east Texas.

I'm on day eight. Day two and three were my worst so far. I leveled out after that. I made sure I took plenty of protein. That helped.

I'm having my surgery on June 10th. Who else is having it done that day?

I'm currently on the pre-op diet myself. I'm on day eight. Day 2 and 3 were the worst. I felt lathargic, sad, and just wanted to sit in a corner and cry. I added more protien and now I am leveling off and feel much better. I'm still hollow feeling but not weak and tired. Hang in there.
