I'm tired of shakes and it's only day one of the pre-op diet!

LOL, i thought that's how i would be too!

I am starting too!!!! Goo luck

Wow! So cool! You,me and Britt! How are you doing so far? What have you lost so far? I only lost 4 lbs. Got my period yesterday and the scale hasn't moved since At least it's not going up though! Please let me know how you are doing!

I start my preop diet on the 22nd... I know each doctor is different, what is some of your preop diets like? I can have 2 1/2 cups of steamed veggies... 2 fruits... 2 protein shakes... 2 8 oz glasses of skim milk... I see some can have chicken broth or tomatoe soup....

I'm on day number 3! Its been a rough two day, I've drinking the Akins shake those are good. Any advice of other thing that will fill me up?

My doc wants only liquids, and focus on low-fat and low-carb, high-protein. He allows broth and clear Soups, as long as they're just liquid, so no noodles in chicken noodle

My only advice is to work on the timing of intake. I found that if I started too early in the morning I was hungry all day. Or if I waited until after 11:00 to have mid morning shake I was less hungry.

It's a really important phase so hang in there.

Today is my first day of pre-op. Surgery is the 22nd. I did fine today other than I'm starting to get hungry now and the shake isn't holding me very long. Any suggestions???

Welcome to the club. You get this rite of passage too! Keep yourself busy and enjoy chug-a-lug gin' while you can!

Congrats on your new journey!
