I feel awful... I cheated on my diet....granted it wasn't a lot but still. I have a 5 days left plus the all Clear Liquids on Sunday.... I know I will be ok...but I feel terrible...

yeah the 4 weeks post op are going to suck bad. Not gonna lie. But once you get to the point where you can take in a lot of water and get past that wretched liquid and puree stage you should be golden. My BP was 125/80 last check up. No more snoring either.

The first time i ate rotisserie chicken I was almost aroused since i was eating actual food.

You know i'm sitting here hollering right? You have a similar sense of humor to mine....I know the beginning is going to be terrible and I know I will probably get depressed. I mean the fact that my family is downstairs right now eating spaghetti and I'm sitting here drinking this chalky premier protein for dinner already sucks but you have to start somewhere. I just have to tough out the initial stages and then reap the benefits moving forward.

Thats why i went straight to protein powders like sprouts brand chocolate, VEGA, or Orgain mixed with skim and coffee. THos bottled up ones are disgusting. too friggin sweet. the ones i mentioned are very smooth when blended. They gave me an ensure in the hospital and i was wondering how effin old you would have to be to not notice how gross that thing was.

I've heard of Orgain, do you get that at GMC? Yeah, I might have to try that because the pre-made shakes are pretty damn nasty. Did your taste buds change after surgery, or you just couldn't eat much?

got a huge bucket at Costco but they might have elsewhere. Sprouts markets protein powder is good and cheap. Blend it up with some skim milk and crushed ice for a whopping 20 grams protein.

I still like the same stuff. White meat chicken is the only thing that’s hard for me to deal with. Too dry and chewy.

Im supposed to have surgery on Monday and never started my pre-op diet. Thinking about postponing until I’m more mentally prepared. Thoughts?

You need to contact your Surgeons office. The pre op diet is to shrink your liver so it is easier for him during surgery. If you are not ready mentally then you may want to wait until you get your mind right. The surgery is a whole lifestyle change.
