The first 48 hours of pre-op is the worst. Most of the withdrawals are on the down hill after that! Good luck.

Its July 16th for me, scared and happy at the same time!

Good luck to us all

Yes, exactly! I got terrible headaches from carb withdrawal for the first 2-3 days, then I felt much better.

We'll just be a few days ahead of you, whining nonstop! :P

Hello everyone! My surgrey is 7/21/15! I week further out than yalls but close though.. LOL good luck everyone!

I didn't realize how addicted I am to Diet Pepsi! It's definitely my weakness :( I'm only required a 3 day pre -op diet but I decided to start following a high protein diet 2 weeks pre-op to help me prep mentally. Today's only day 2!

First day and doing well. Feeling good. Almost forgot to drink water so I'm prolly not going to get in 64 oz. But so far I feel ok. I'm spacing out my real foods with the shakes. Bfast had shake and banana. Then had my gummies vitamins. Then another shake. Lunch had half cup beans one eighth of avocado. Worked on water this afternoon and plan to do 3rd shake if I can't wait till I get home . Dinner will be steamed carrots and 3oz lean chicken or turkey for protein. ..I can do this.

To clarify first day pre op 2 week diet

I wish I could have some real food! My doctor is super strict! I can only have broth, jello, ice pops, and my shakes!!! I'm super bored already! Plus I hate these shakes! I'll admit I've been living off ice pops and broth ???? idk if my body is going to crash without any nutrients? His is def harder than I thought it would be ????

Try the premier Protein, they are pretty decent, not too expensive, and you don't have to mix anything.


costco sells them and online you can get them. costco.com too.

Yeah I've tried them thanks, you know what it is I hate milk in all forms, so they taste like chocolate milk, too creamy it makes me sick but I've been telling myself it's like medicine I have no choice but still I'm drinking about one a day ???? it's better than nothing right??

Have you tried unjury's chicken soup flavor and unflavored protein powder? They are awesome. I dislike shakes, so I'm using those.

My surgery is July 13th! Started my 2 week pre-op diet yesterday. It actually wasn't terrible because I was so busy at work and it made it easier to just grab a quick shake!

I targeted my 2 week pre op diet today! Ugh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ how ppl do this Lolz. I had broth, 3oz of stewed beef with about less than a 1/4 cup of rice with beans, 2 cups of protein with skim plus and a yogurt. Oh yea not to mention 5 cups of water! Smh

You are allowed to have rice and beans?!!? That is awesome. No carbs at all for me :( My friend's kid was eating a plate of mac and cheese in front of me, and I wanted to snatch that fork out of her hand so bad!
