Jan 22nd & I can't wait!!

I'm Jan 15th.... been eating like crazy over the holidays - and yes, falling into the "one last meal" trap! Tomorrow night I will have sushi "one more time", and Friday, I have Mexican "one more time". Saturday I start my pre-op liquid diet, and I have a mind-set that when I can eat regular foods again, I will eat alot smaller and healthier portions - but before.... whoa!!!!! I'm all in eating! I have a couple of friends that have been through this, and told me to follow the doctor's diet EXACTLY to be successful - so that is my plan - starting Saturday :-)!

Yes' date=' I started my preop diet on 31st and I am starving!!!! I have to do 5 protein shakes a day and am allowed broth and sugar free drinks. That's about it!!

Today was tough - I started w a headache, prob due to no caffeine and it turned into a migraine but was told all I could take was Tylenol which does nothing for a migraine! I ended up taking a hydrocodone - so I hope that is ok!!

How is your preop diet going??[/quote']

My surgery is Jan. 22! I am also guilty of eating whatever I can before jan. 8th. That's probably part of my anxiety. Ugh!
