I'm new to the boards, so pardon if it's abnormal to have noobs post right away. Just thought I'd drop by and ask for support when it comes to the pre-op diet. I'm on Day 6, but it's darn near impossible to have my carbs below 100. This is the diet plan I have to follow:

(1) <1300 calories

(2) 90-120 grams of whey Protein

(3) <100 grams of carbohydrates

I've yet to consume under 100 carbs. How is this done?!

Also, my second question:

I hate shakes. They're thick and syrupy and gross. I love Isopure, on the other hand, but they're $4.69 a pop or $49.99 for a case of 12. Do you think I'd get the same effect mixing Protein powder with Propel or diet snapple?

Thx in advance!

My mother got the surgery March 11th and has gone from a size 24 to a voluptuous 8! She's my hero!!!

hey doodleallday;

it's 1prettyrn and thanks for the reply I'm new at this too!

Your post about anxiety was too funny. What a dream; never in my wildest.

I'll keep in touch and please take care and keep posting.

Keeping carbs below 100 is not at all impossible! You do it by not eating white things....rice, Pasta, bread, Cereal....get your carbs from mainly vegetables and berries (citrus has the highest carb count of all fruits) and you will be under 100 carbs every single time. A glycemic index will help you as well. Low glycemic index foods are also low in carbohydrates.

Hope that helps.
