I'm on day 3---4 days to go after this one! Yesterday morning---after my HORRIBLE day one--I woke up and felt AMAZING (Not OK--really really good). I still haven't figured out why, but I wasn't even hungry. When I stepped on the scales I had lost 4 pounds that first day. I drank my protein drinks (gag) and my RELIV vitamins (GAG GAG!!) and started my day. My surgeon told me that I could to Adkins diet along with liquid---AS LONG AS I WAS LIMITING MY CARBS TO LESS THAN 50/day. So, I did liquids all day until around 4:00 and my husband and I went to LongHorn steakhouse and I had a steak with blue-cheese crumbled over it and some lettuce. No tomatos, no croutons, no carrots....just leaf lettuce.

 

I could only eat a little of the steak (about half) but it was the best thing I've ever eaten.

 

So driving home last night--I know I can make it thru this next week. This morning I had lost another 1 1/2 pounds....so down 5 1/2 pounds from just two days of preop diet !! I can't believe it. Back to protein drinks today!! I have to pay a little penance for my steak splurge.

 

The shakes are gone now--I can focus again...I'm feeling really good--which still astounds me.

I'm on my last day of the pre op diet. Getting banded tomorrow. And the first day of the pre op diet is the hardest. I noticed that too. I had a headache, lathargic, everything else. Then the second day it was like someone flipped a switch. Too weird. Well, good luck to you.

wow, same here!!! today is day 2 for me on pre-op and i woke up feeling alot better than yesterday. i had a migraine, had the shakes and cotton-mouth by noon just to feel alot worse when i went to bed. i figure it's all a part of withdrawl. i noticed today that i wasn't as hungry but extremely thirsty for ONLY water. how amazing is that? i just hope the rest of pre-op will only be easier for me. good luck 2 all.
