pre op diet

Yeah, I'm not enjoying this too much. I refuse to mess it up, but still don't like it. It definitely helps to stay busy and drink lots of water. My surgery is Aug 3. Sometimes it seems like its right around the corner and sometimes (like today when I'm frustrated with the diet) it seems like forever. I know it will go quickly overall, but its dragging butt today.

It will get better if can hold to the fast! Maybe 3, maybe 4 days...

I am struggling today as well. I need a NAP! I am so tired that i'm having trouble focusing and I really, really do want to go back to bed--and it's only 10:34 am. I''m on day 4 of this and it's veg Soup and Protein shake, and Protein Shake and veg soup and for some variety, some more protein shake.

Like you, I refuse to mess it up, but by golly, August 2nd can NOT come fast enough.

Where is your surgery? I apologize in advance if I've asked you that before. :-)

My husband and I are scheduled for August 2nd. Yay! :)

Where will you guys be? I'll be at Mi Doctor in Tijuana' date=' and then the Marriott.[/quote']

We're going to Dr Alvarez in Mexico. I tell you what, it's really good to do it together. If we weren't accountable to each other, I wonder if I wouldn't be "just" snacking on a "small something". But since we're doing the pre-op together, there will be no cheating :)

I was supposed to do 7 days but he had to do 14 days so I'm doing it with him. I remind him once a day that's it true love to go on an extra 7 day liquid diet just to keep him company :P

I too am on my pre-op diet. My surgery is with Dr. Ortiz on July 31st and this diet is crazzzyy and hard! We gotta stay strong.

I start my pre-op diet in a few days!! Wish me luck (I HATE protein shakes!!!)

Good luck! I also don't care much for protein shakes, but I heard Premiere protein shakes were very good :) have you tried those yet?

No I haven't!! I have only really tried Body by Vi and Usana... I hate the powder taste... has anyone tried the special K ones?? I am very excited for surgery yet am still experiencing moments of extreme fear lol!!
