I started my pre-op diet.... And I'm having a hard time... Has anyone else gone through this .... I'm suppose to be drinking 3 Protein shakes and 1 meal which is 4oz protien, 1cup salad and 1/2 cup of starch ....

So hard doing this when your husband eats like a cow (he's super thin barely gains weight) and my toddler who I have to fight with him to eat

So all I'm thinking while fighting my child is omg I'm so hungry and I'm seriously begging him to eat (how lucky is he) !!! Which gets me frustrated...

So far I have not cheated and I'm trying hard to keep this up, I want to change my lifestyle and this is the first step so although I'm struggling talking about it does make me feel better

Thanks for reading just venting

Wishing everyone with surgeries this week a speedy recovery and sending prayers your way! Thank you everyone for your kind words, prayers, and inspiration. Surgery date ❤11-11-13❤

I have been testing many Protein drinks. I have even calculated 200 calories and 15+ grams of protein in each drink, 15 or less of carbs and 5g fat or less. I have taken the whey powder and used half to make a full drink with soy milk, yogurt (less with more protein) and low carb plus a little fruit juice. It is actually good and stays in my goal for each Protein Drink. I also bout a protein drink with low carbs and boosted the protein with high protein low fruit yogurt. It is time consuming for sure in finding the right mixture, but the taste is much better. I have to chew gum just so I get the feeling of chewing! I wish all well
