Day one of my two week pre-op diet. Man, I'm excited to get this show on the road. Carb withdrawal, coupled with caffeine withdrawal, (ACK!), I am going to be a peach to be around for a few days! In the words of that esteemed and illustrious philosopher Macho Man Randy Savage.....Ooooh Yeeaaaahhhh!!!

best of luck man

believe me its not an easy journey but totally worth it

I was Cruela by the end of my pre-op diet and it actually ruined the vanilla flavor for me. I had to drink three bariatric Meal Replacement shakes a day and one lean meat no card meal with veggies. The shakes were vanilla, now I can't eat anything vanillas flavored. Weird I know.

I bet. Believe it or not, this next two weeks is what I've been dreading the most. I'm not concerned about succeeding, just know I'm going to feel miserable initially. Once I'm past the first few days, I'll feel better. A lot of people who post on here mark the day they made the decision to have surgery as their turning point, for me, the day I start actively moving towards health and away from obesity is mine. That day...is TODAY! (Cue Monty Python trumpets).

Thanks man!

The pre-op diet is no fun at all. I'd love to tell you it gets easier post-op, but the first few weeks post-op are pretty miserable in their own right. So you have some rough weeks ahead, but there is light at then end of the tunnel.... distant light....

I think if you can cut down the whole journey into days, it might make it easier for you. The ol', "Divide and Conquer" theory.

How does one eat a whole steer? One bite at a time!

Get through today successfully and tomorrow will be another day to start over with successful day behind you, then two, then three, etc...

We are all here, rooting for you--starting to warm up your spot on, "The Losers' Bench". You'll join us in no time.

As long as it doesn't turn into a freaking train, I'm good with that.

Whooo hoooo the count down has begun, Good luck!!!!
