Starting my Pre-Op diet today, so the countdown begins. So nervous and excited for this journey.

Good luck!! I started mine yesterday. It wasn't so bad. Just stay hydrated. It helps!

Best of luck to you.. Hope all goes well for you!

Good luck! No lying, most of the pre-op diets suck..but surgery day will be here before you know it! Stay hydrated and see if you are allowed a Protein Shake or something with Protein to help ward off any potential headaches.

I started yesterday too. So hungry today. And man, I drank so much, which equaled I peed so much :-)

I agree. The diet stinks and I lived in the bathroom today. One day down and six to go.

I was told to do 7 days, but decided to do 14 days of liquids. I started yesterday also. So far, no headache, no hunger and down 3.4 pounds, overnight. Haven't given up caffeine yet and not looking forward to the withdrawal. I'll fight that battle next week.

Yes, the headaches are the worst.

I'm sorry...I had them, too. Remember to ask your doctor what you can take. I was advised no ibuprofen, only Tylenol in the days leading up to surgery.

Thanks! I was told Tylenol, but it sure doesn't work as well as a Goody's Powder. . Hopefully it will pass soon.

I started my pre-op diet today, too! Crystal Light, Atkins Advantage bars, hard-boiled egg and protein shakes and lots of bathroom visits. Was pretty hungry around 5:00pm. Thinking I'm OK now..
