R U still taking the protien shakes too?

This is a really hard part I know. You're allowed to have 3 Protein Shakes and Jello, broth, Water, chrystal lite, etc. right? I had to do it for 7 days. You can do this! Space out your shakes as far as possible. I tried to do them at 9a, 2p, 7p. And I drank herbal tea, water, broth, chrystal lite, ate sugar free popsicles and jello all the time in between. I also chewed sugar free gum. The first 3 days are the hardest too. Then it'll be over for you! I had my surgery on the 4th. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks. Today is my first day back in the office. I worked from home last week.

Try the Campbell's chicken Noodle Soup broth (strain everything) and apple juice. That was my go-to foods for those 3 days. It sucks and it's tough, but you will feel much fuller very soon .

I'm gong to have to endure a 14 day preop liquid diet! omg I think this will be the hardest part...it is the one medifast uses...same stuff I'm told

I was on ONLY Clear Liquids for three days pre-op. The first day was the WORST. After the first 24hours it got much easier. I remember not so much being hungry, as feeling exhausted! I think I just kept telling myself that I would get plenty of rest post-op and just pushed through it. Just keep drinking constantly! Water, broth, ANYTHING to keep your stomach filled with Fluid will help keep you from feeling so hungry. The exhaustion you just have to deal with unfortunately. It's WORTH IT!

I have 15 days and only on day one. I have to keep reminding myself why I am doing this. The preop diet sucks there is no getting around it.

All done. Surgery went fine. Dr Lopez very nice. Very good team he has. Hospital very nice. Brand new. Was real sore and had some pain last night but much better today.

I am on day 1 of a 14 day pre-op diet. Right now 3 days sound like heaven! Good luck to you!
