Hello all! I’m on day 6 of a 2-week pre-op diet and can feel my brain working against me. I’ve got it a little better than most with the diet requiring less than 40 carbs per day and no more than 1200 calories. My nutritionist said she doesn’t mind if I go above the calories limit so long as I don’t exceed 40 carbs. I’ve been squeaky clean so far, even when I went to the movies last night (salivation is real lol), but I just cut caffeine completely and my body is not having any of it. I started to negotiate with myself - “Just one Oreo isn’t going to screw up the whole plan” and then snapped myself out of it by making a cup of decaf tea.

How did you all do on the pre op diet? I feel like I must be super weak if I’m struggling to do this for 14 days ?

@Spinoza. Do you realize you are now about half the weight from when you started! You must be doing something right and I envy you. I'm a guy and don't ever wish to weigh what you weigh. 160-170# and I'd be thrilled. I won't be having my surgery until later this year - probably duodenal switch. Absolutely fantastic for you. I know it was not "easy" in any way.
