So, title says it all. Tomorrow I start preop diet. My diet is not liquid, so that is a plus. I have to stay under 30 carbs a day. I did a couple of "trial runs" last week and although I have done low carb diets in the past I never realized how restrictive 30 carbs is. One day I only ate veggies and Protein and went to 40. Guess if it gets tough I can just come here and realize that it could be so much worse...i could be on nothing but Protein shakes.

Take care,

Awesome! We can do this together then! I started yesterday! And I have to say...i'm hungry! But it is a 'mind' hunger??? How can that be!? I am on a complete liquid Meal Replacement through the Dr office. I can add fruit to it and I can have sugar free juice or Jello but that is it! Be grateful you can have things to chew! I just want to chew food! I have this for 14 days then a total fast the day before surgery....how long do you have to do this?

Thru the 20th. Then Clear liquids on the 21st. Then on the 22nd.....band time!

We can do this!!

I can't believe I don't have more of a headache. I'm also going without soda but I am sipping on crystal light instead of my diet dr p.
