I have to drink 2 protein shakes and then eat a salad and 5oz of protein. How did you start out doing it? Did you just jump right in?

Yep! Just woke up the day I needed to start and had a Protein drink and one for lunch....I did my meal as dinner. I wanted to be able to have dinner with my husband. I had flavored waters and VitaminWater Zero, and just drank a lot all day to help with the hunger... it wasn't that bad after the first couple of days.

Okay so it doesn't sound to bad. I guess drinking would help with hunger never really thought of it. I'm 23 and about to have the surgery done on June 10th. Was it hard to sit there and diet while your husband could eat what he wanted?

I'm in day 3 and I jumped right in. Being able to eat unlimited non starchy veggies has saved me from throwing in the towel. I'm also taking advice and varying my drinks between sweet and broth.

My trick was taking nonfat Greek yogurt and powdered ranch dressing packet mix and have a healthy dip pre op diet
