Starting my pre-op today!

ATLGirl · January 8, 2011

Hey All,

I am entering Day 1 of my Pre-op and I am sooooo excited. I think I am almost too excited to be hungry! It's been an okay starts. My husband and I have been up since 7 with our DD. He keeps slipping up. He brought me some French Vin coffee in bed. But then I had to remind him that start my pre-op today. So only Water. I think I am going to try to plan each day out the day before. While there aren;t any calorie restrictions, I still want to make sure I look at my carbs (no more than 40 a day) sat fats (no more than 5/serving). So here is what I had and what I plan on for the day

Goal: Shrink the Liver not Loose weight

9:00 am 16 oz of water and a plain hard-boiled egg
10:15- 16 oz of water a a half of banana (other half is my daughter's :-)
11:30- 16 oz of water and a apple
1:30- Protein Shake (150 cal/ 1 gr of sat fat/ 6 g of carbs/ 26gr Protein) and 8 oz of water
4ish -Some snack within guidelines (I was thinking Greek yogurt with frozen strawberries) with 16 oz of water
Dinner- Plain chix breast w/ sweet pea with 16 oz of water
Late night snack if needed- Protein shake (280 cal/ 2 sat fats/8 gr carb/ 56 gms of protein)

Wish me luck!

Good luck! I know the excitement, unfortunately I feel I have to warn you that it will wear off but just keep in mind: it's two weeks of preop diet and then the rest of your life start.

So, don't think "this is the first day of the rest of your life", think "these are the last two week of your old life"
