I'm on day four and I'm proud that I'm sticking to it. Yesterday was my best day but today I'm so tired and really blue. I know Mother Nature is gonna strike soon so that's partly why I feel like this. I'm not going to stray I know that. I drive for my job and I see all these fast food restaurants and it just makes me sick. No wonder we didn't have a chance. I will stick it out but I would really appreciate some encouragement right now. Ok rant over.

Lol i no the fast food places can be hard but once you get to the solids part of all this and you are able to eat good things and feel lighter and healthier youll be DISGUSTED by fast food. Thats just me though. Time really does fly by after the first week. Your doing great and keep it up!!! Im 2 months out and have lost close to 40 pounds!! Good luck and congrats

I am doing my pre op diet as well so i know how u feel but YOU CAN DO THIS!

I'm on day one of my pre-op diet, and it is tough... but we can and must do this! I'm sure that it will get easier (but never EASY) as our bodies adjust to this drastic change.

I'm on day 5 now and it has gotten easier. There was so much food today at a work meeting. I didn't have a bite. I'm at the point where I just want to fill my tummy and I really don't care how. So I was satisfied with my protein drink. Onward and upward.

I'm on the same page! I'm on day 6 now and I don't care what I have to eat. I just won't eat oatmeal or creame of wheat, I just can't. Thank God for protein shakes and fat free Popsicles. I just found I also like low sodium creame of chicken soup, it fills the void. I'm so ready to do the surgery!

Best wishes to you!! Hang in it is worth it!!

I am on day 11 of pre-op full liquids. I, too, am relying mainly on protein shakes, at work (I'm a teacher) but when I get home from work, I mix Jarrow's unflavored protein (Amazon.com) with unheated Progresso Basil Tomato soup in a shaker then heat it up. In my opinion, It does not affect the flavor. I really enjoy it. I finish my evening with 1 or 2 sugar free popsicles (Walmart) which are delicious...lots of great flavors. I tend to chew them which satisfies my urge to have something to chew something crunchy. The 1st weekend was a little challenging, being at home more. But,since I started the pre-op phase, I've lost an additional 8 pounds. That has helped me stay on the straight & narrow. I am soooo ready for this surgery which will be on Valentines Day.

Hang in there! It has seemed to get easier!

Silly question, but can the Protein shakes be mixed with just Water, or can I blend them with skim milk?

Thanks...

Keep up the good work! It wont be long until today is just a memory so lets make it a good one! YOU CAN DO THIS!
