I lost 9.6 pounds this week, that's the only good thing I can say about this past week! I really really struggled last night. I was thinking of all the reason why I shouldn't go through with the surgery. I eventually went to bed at 8:00pm just to not think about eating anymore. Today is Memorial Day. I am going to a family get together where as usual the central focus is FOOD! And starting today, I get four Protein shakes and NO FOOD! Lord help me get through this day (week)!

@@evelaine You are beginning a week of shakes ONLY? Yikes!! They don't do that at the hospital where I am having surgery! 2 weeks of 3 shakes, one Lean Cuisine type meal daily.

Just started My 2 week Pre Op diet on Memorial Day!

Thanks for the heads up on what I could have to look forward too!

Good Luck On your Journey~

@"anniebanana" yes, the 1st week (last week) was three shakes and one small meal, this week is only four shakes per day, till Sunday... All Clear Liquids . Monday surgery.

Hi, my name is Karen and I started my pre op diet yesterday too. I'm allowed my 3 shakes, a cup of salad with low cal Italian dressing and 2 cups of raw veggies if I so desire (which I have). I can also have some fruit, but I choose to stay away from that. The Water is the hardest thing for me, I have to pee every hour! If you need any support or just want to unload...let me know

Be Happy, Be Kind...it is worth it!
