I started my two week pre-op diet yesterday. Surgery is on the 4th. I'm excited but NERVOUS. On my diet, the doc says I can have two Protein Shakes a day and a "sensible meal" all to be under 1000.

Yesterday was TOUGH. Today at work has been super hard too. Does it get easier? I have a "friend" telling me to cheat. I dont want to, I'm scared enough of surgery!! Any suggestions? How did you guys get through it?

@@midwestgirl32, it does get easier. I know you can do it! My preop diet sounds similar to yours. You may check with your nutritionist to see if some sort of a non starchy veggie snack is allowed during the day if you are feeling dizzy or fatigued. My diet also called for an electrolyte drink, powerade zero was my preference.

First, that person is no friend.

I used unjury vanilla and chocolate + different flavored sugar free syrups and malted milk powder to change them. Fill in with sugar free puddings (also used the flavorings) and Jello, bouillon + spices. I kept a spreadsheet to make sure I got at least 60 grams of Protein and didn't go over the 1100 calories.

It gets easier in my opinion. I'm on day 4 of my pre-op diet which includes no food, 4 "New Direction" products a day.
