Here I Go......

Well, here I am Day 1 of the liquid pre-op diet. Yes, I know, I can't believe myself that I'm starting the day before Thanksgiving. But, oh well, I wanted to get the surgery as soon as possible. Which, BTW is on December 8. I'm so excited.

 

So far, I've done well. I just drank my 2nd Optifast shake. They taste great. I'm drinking my water and had my coffee this morning.

 

Will write more as the day progresses.

I started today as well, but it isn't a liquid diet. I drink 3 shakes a day and have choice of salad and protein OR a lean cuisine dinner less than 300 cal and at least 14 g protein and got a few freebies here and there like jell-o , cucumbers, gum, etc. Was told tomorrow I can have chicken or turkey with green beans. Good luck! My surgery is dec 6.

I start my diet on Friday. Tomorrow is my day in my relationship with food as I know it. I do not plan to eat much; in fact I have not been that hungry the last few days. Just trying to keep my fluid intake up.

I wish you both all the best in your journey to good health. My surgery is Dec 2nd. My clinic only does one week protein shake diet for all three of the procedures.

Today was my 1st pre-op diet day too!! My surgery is Dec 6th. I drink 2 shakes a day & can have a protein for dinner---I can supplement throughout the day w/non starchy veggies, broth, sugar free jello & cheese. About 8 years ago I was on a medically supervised liquid diet (new direction) and their shakes werent bad----oooohhh but these are not tasty!! lol I just hold my breath & suck it down. Luckily I could eat turkey tonite as my protein!! But I had to give up diet coke & the caffeine withdrawal is killing me!!! :)

Good Luck!!

Mine is Dec 6th. I thought doing the Optifast through Thanksgiving was going to be hard, but it really wasnt.

Good luck!
