I got my surgery date

[Nymea 87]

I got my surgery date today ... 16th July so I am officially on my reducing diet until then.

The surgeon recommends Optifast but since I don't like any of those Meal Replacements because they are way too sweet for my tastes I am just going with low fat high Protein milk. I sat with nutritional panels and calculated how much milk I could have for the same kilojoules and it turns out it has more Protein and less carbs than Optifast which is all good in my book.

At the end of day 1 I am feeling okay ... I don't expect it to continue but at least I am one day down and one day closer to surgery.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

My pre-op was 30 carbs and 70-90 Protein. Amazed when I had to really pay attention to the label. Most juices have way to much. Lost 8 before surgery and now 5 weeks out down about 33. Like they say. We need new mind set and you can beat this and get to where you plan. Good luck. ????????
