Okay Y'all,

I'm on day two of my pre-op. I guess I am a little lucky, because my doctor on me doing, protein shakes, lean meats and starchless carbs. Feelin' a lack of energy... but overall feeling good. Made a awesome protein drink today. 1 scoop protein powder, 8 ounces of almond milk, and 1 teaspoon of whipped peanut butter, then blend till smooth. It's about 22g of protein and 185 calories

Good job John. How much longer till surgery. I am finishing up day 5 preop. Been a breeze really

I am scheduled for 11/1.... Doc has me on a 2 week pre-op diet but I started it two days early. Today was better that yesterday as far as hunger pains go and the 8 cups of water went easier today. Best of luck on surgery day to you!!!

I started my pre-op diet today. Meats, veggies, eggs and cheese. I so want a protein shake! It sounds good right about now. lol

I look forward to my protein shakes!!!! However, If I had been a a liquid only pre-op I know they wouldn't be so appealing. Day 5 for me..... and 3 pounds gone since Saturday. Been fairly easy so far and I haven't gave into temptation. Even when a co-worker order pizza and offered up a slice. Pizza has always been one of my quantity foods. One thing I like about my pre-op is that it's about portion control and better food choices, which I hope will set me up for healthier eating post surgery. Congrats on begining your journey!!!!
