It's almost here!

Today is day 1 of my pre-op diet. I hope I have the strength to stay on the straight and narrow. It won't be easy. This forum will help me, I know. Thanks to you all.

We got your back. Don't get too wrapped up in the pre-op diet thing. No studies show it's really necessary, especially for light weights. Do your best but don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon a little.

As ususal, Gina is right, just don't screw up the final day, whatever they have told you to do then.  Most folks are on clear liquids then so the system is clean for surgery.  Stay clean then.

When is your surgery again?  Want to cheer you on cyberly. 

Agree with the ladies. My surgeon told me to eat what I wanted with the exception of the last day. It worked out just fine. I had a smooth surgery and post follow up.

How exciting.

Are they making you do liquids? If so and you want to "cheat", just eat high protein, low carb. Because that's what clears out the slime in the liver, not being on liquds.

And don't get me started on the whole mandatory pre-op diet thing...

Good luck.  How long do you have to do the pre-op diet?  Mine was 2 weeks, some are longer and some are shorter.

3 protein shakes, SF jello, SF ice pops, for 14 days, 1 day clear. I am starving, have a headache...

Are you mixing your shakes with water or milk?  You might need to add some carbs to help with the headache.  I had an awful headache and very shaky.  Once I started mixing my shakes with milk and adding some fruits I felt much better.

 

 

Going to make my dinner shake with half frozen banana.
