Today is day 1 of my 2 week pre-op diet. How ridiculous do I feel that I want to jump into a bucket of chicken and eat my way out. I can't see how I will get through another 13 days!!!! Eeekkk

LMAO!!! Too funny!

Don't worry. Yes, it is rough. But you'll make it through. If I did, you will too. Every day I was dreaming of macaroni and cheese with chicken. I'm glad to be on the other side. Hang in there!

And stay out of the chicken buckets!!! LOL!

BTW, the 24th is my birthday!

I am on the pre-op diet as well. It is HORRIFIC!!! I wish I could get the surgery like NOW just to get off this terrible diet. Last night I cheated with a salad and said the hell with it! I just find this diet to be super ridiculous. My dr said I didn't have to do an entire 14days. He said 8-10days was fine and that I didn't have to do it exactly. According to him, the last 4-5 days are the most crucial. Either way I am still trying to finish strong and not cheat for the rest of the time I'm on this diet. Today is day 4 for me 6 more days to go and I can't wait!! Hang in there. If it makes you feel any better...You're not alone :wub: !

Well day 1 is over for me. I'm not sure where everyone is from on here. But I am Melbourne, Australia. I have banned fresh bread from the house as that is something I know I struggle with, and until I get a handle on this, it's easier to avoid. Thanks for your support everyone x

Yea I am not looking forward to next week Monday as I start the 2 week pre-op diet are u guys on the optifast as well? 31/07 is my big day which I am looking at as the new me will be born lol

I'm on a mix of optifast/optislim the dietician didn't mind which one. I can also do 1 cup of veg or salad per day and 1 protein. I cannot stomach the optislim soup, even the smell is too much for me. I don't mind the shakes and the bars. I am also not used to the sound of my stomach growling. It's normally too full of food. Lollll

I too can't stand the optifast soups so I am searching for chicken broth how to make broth? I remember the dietician mentioned broth is excellent

Are you allowed veggies ??
