I'm so very proud to say I'm on day 3 of the preop diet and I've stuck to it religiously. I haven't had 1 slip up. I even went as far as going to a crawfish boil at my best friend's house which was full of delicious foods and alcohol. I patiently drank my protein shakes and chicken broth. Sipped on water all night and still had a blast. My friends have been so very supportive and loving. I will admit I did bust into tears briefly from feeling a little overwhelmed. But the important thing is I'm sticking with it! I've found strength and determination I didn't know were there. I have to admit I'm feeling a bit like Wonder Woman. Lol

Celebrate the victory!.... AND the first three or four days are the hardest, so after tomorrow you will be golden! You're doing a great job, and you are really proving to yourself that YOU really are in control of your food! Sticking with your preop like you are will benefit you in so many ways.. not just physically for your surgery, but also the mental victory as well!

Thank you sweets! I really feel stronger and more capable of taking on this lifestyle change.

How many protein shakes are you supposed to have in a day?

Thanks all! no more than 4 high protein/low sugar shakes and nothing but clear liquids. Low Sodium chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, tea, coffee, skim milk, clear juices like cranberry, apple juice and grape juice.

Girl, you got this!

Great job!!! Way to go!
