    Pre-op diet

    Sotex...On Day 3 of my 2weeks pre-opt diet I was very weak and no desire to exercise. 15-17grams of protein in the pre made drinks 2 a day. Nutrionist say to add a boil egg. I also added 1oz of beef jerky during the day. SHe say the ideal is not to snack in between meals.

    HEY!!! Where is all the self payer? Hopefully more will answer. Houston, Tx was quoted $12,900.00 1yr of service, out patient.
  11. Dr. Hollis from True Results located in the Houston,Tx area referred this great site to me and It has truly been a great help. I completed the seminar, meet with nurse practioner, and tomorrow I will start the 2weeks pre-op diet. I'm a bit nervous on how my body will re-act to the 2x a day protein shake, 1cup green veggies and 1cup fruit. I spent alot of money already at the grocery store and Walmart. In the end, I will have true results, a healthier and committed lifestyle change!!!! Pray for my strength and guidance as I take one day at a time.:scared2::smile:

    Feeling weak and no energy

    Lisagus...Feels good to know I'm not along!!! Thank you so much and best of luck to you as well. I'm thinking maybe I'm not getting enough proteins and I know my body is in shock. The wl so far is good being that its only been 4days. Will have to call the nutrionist on Monday.
  14. 4 days into my 2week pre-op diet which consists of 2 protein drinks, 1cup of green veggies, 1cup of fruit and 4oz of meat. I'm feeling week with no energy and do not have the desire to exercise. I drink plenty of water, but I'm thinking I'm not getting enough proteins throughout the day. Please help!!!:thumbup:
