Started my pre open diet

I am scheduled for surgery on March 25. I started my pre op phase yesterday. So far I am feeling ok, not too hungry. Im very worried that I will feel horrible, weak and shaky. I HATE that feeling. Ive had hypoglycemia issues since I was a young child and its just the worst when your blood sugar suddenly nosedives. Ive been dreading this phase most of all. Anyone else in the pre op diet phase? How's it going?

You can do this!

I am on day three, surgery is March 23rd. So far so good for me. Leg cramps my only issue. I get unlimited non starch veggies on mine so I eat them if feel like I need something

I'm scheduled for March 25th!! Just did my last CO test this morning and I'm all set. WooHoo!!! Good Luck everyone and best wishes for a wonderful healthy life!

@@fox99 If your allowed protein shakes make sure you space them out enough that your not going to long between feedings. Stay strong! Good luck!

Yay! Im excited to have people going through this with me. Ive been drinking my shakes every 4 hours and so far so good.

I was just going through my clear liquid diet "rules" for the 80th time -- but just noticed that I canNOT use pre-made shakes because of the added fat, calories and Fiber. Does anyone else have this rule?

Thanks!

I was told that I could drink premade glucerna hunger smart, boost glucose control or slim fast low carb but to limit it to one maybe 2 a day.

I was also given a list of acceptable premade shakes. I dont remember which ones but I know slim fast and glucerna were not on the list.
