On day 4 of my 10 day pre-op diet. I've stayed very disciplined & I'm hardly hungry . I'm down 6 lbs AND I'm on my period (which usually adds a good 5 lbs) so feeling extra magnificent with my progress!!!!

Hope you're all doing well! Feb 18th can't come soon enough!

Ahhhh my surgery is on the 16th!!! I am doing pretty good on the pre-op too. Are you drinking coffee? There wasn't anything in my paperwork saying I couldn't and I only have one cup (black) but it dawned on me this morning that maybe I shouldn't be drinking it.

Why no pre-op? Was it discussed at all? My surgeon has a high protein low sugar/fat diet. Helps shrink the liver and prepares your organs for surgery. Length of time depends on your BMI. It's a protein shake for breakfast, lunch and for snack (only if needed) and 3-4 oz of low protein with 1-2 cups of veggies/greens for dinner.

What does your diet look like? Surgeons do differ wildly in the type of diets they recommend.

My pre op diet is clear liquids only - diet jello, broth, sugar free Popsicles. This is day 2 for me. It isn't easy but I have to remind myself "one day at a time ". Surgery date is the 15th

That's sweet, thank you!!! I've tried juicing before, up to 3 weeks at a time, so this almost feels like cheating eating a meal everynight lol.

I'm required to do that for the last 2 days before surgery only. Isn't it crazy how there's so many variations?

There could be so many reasons! Maybe you have a lower BMI (mine is 47) or just Doctor preference. My Dr lives in the US but the practice is in Mexico, maybe he's just extra cautious because we don't see him as long.

I'm on day 3 pre op diet! My diet is strictly liquid only. 3 or 4 protein shakes a day and 64 oz of water. It's going awesome so far not dying hungry. Down 8 pounds. I had some chicken stock to break up the same old flavor of the really sweet protein shakes and that shit was some liquid gold!! Surgery is feb 21 and I still can't believe it.. I'm so nervous but so excited. When I say surgery is a week and a half away it reaaaaallllly freaks me out! Glad you're doing good on you pre op diet too!!

You're welcome. & lol yeah I'm very familiar with juicing (I did almost a 30 day juicing diet in the past) so I hope I have your experience when it's my turn ?
