So I went into the preop diet feeling REAL confident like I wasnt going to have any problems sticking to the diet...But as soon as I tasted the protien drink, I wanted to DIE! drinkin it for lunch made me just want to starve for the rest of the 2 weeks...it tasted so bad cuz I used the whole protein pack n mixed it with water, it was real creamy and disgusting! I couldnt wait 2 have dinner lol...for the first 3 days I cheated :frown: I found myself eating rice. My mom hasnt been cookin rice latley but for some odd reason she cooked a big pot of rice 1 day and then the next day she made another type of rice and then the next day the same thing! And I knew I had my own type of meals but I couldnt control myself I didnt kno wut was happening. But I knew if I didnt follow my diet I would b puttin myself at risk. So I decided to remain strong and not be tempted to eat. I changed the way I made the drink, instead of mixing the whole pouch I just add two spoons of it and mix it with a lil bit of fruit punch. When I wake up I walk a mile and then later on in the day I walk another mile. I drink the shakes for breakfast and lunch and sometimes in between I can have unsalted peanuts (for protein) or applesauce and drink alot of water. For dinner I have chicken with small salad with balsamic vinegar. I go 2 parties and I dont eat or drink alcohol. Im impressed with myself Im really trying and I pray I dont mess up for the next 5 days! Its gettin easier for me because my surgury is this friday and the more I think about it the more I want to do good. So Im guessin when your surgury date is near, its easier.

Sorry, I meant to say they taste just as good.
