Its been 3 days on these shakes and I want to understand why I can't even eat veggies for dinner. I understand the body needs low carbs and all but don't greens have vitamins and nutrients that we need? I am over the shakes and don't want jello or sugar free pops...

 

sigh...vent over (for now);)

Every doctor requires a different preop plan .. . I could eat one cup of vegetables per day . . . good luck.

I think part of it is get us in the right mindset..even after surgery we have think Protein first, then veggies and then starches if you have room..to be honest sometimes I don't even have room for the veggies. Then there are some nights that I mix my foods but then I am short on my protein. So the bottom line for me is getting that mind of ours ready..that is the key! I was on the same as you...3 shakes a day and that was it!! All the crystal light I wanted but only 3 shakes a day and nothing else!! I wish you the very best and remember it will all be worth it. Believe me I would have never thought I would be down 105 lbs 7 1/2 months ago but I am and loving life!!! Take care and believe in yourself..you can do it!!

Hi Mo. I totally feel ya! I'm day 3 post-op & I complained about that pre-op diet too. But let me tell you what helped me - protein! It really helped keep the appetite away. I'd tried protein diets in the past but I found the key is a very high protein liquid diet. I bought Isopure Zero (not Isopure Complete) from GNC & also Arbonne's Figure 8 Shakes & consumed about 100 grams of protein/day. Give that a try because the amount of liquid you are consuming plus the high levels of protein, you will feel better.

Thanks for the advice! I have one more day of shakes and then sunday is only clear liquids in prep for surgery...I can see the end of the tunnel and will stay focused!
