im new too and am in the preop stage Newbie.... if it makes you feel better my doctor only allows the Protein shakes and nothing else. I was on here looking for help on how to make it through these two weeks. I find it even hard because I have small children and husband that I am cooking for and I am trying not to sample the things Im cooking. Plus, I decided not to tell my family I was going through the surgery and my mother and sister and I call each other on three way while watching the cooking channel almost everyday. For some reason they haven't missed a freaking day calling. I have cried almost every day. I did cheat today and I ate grilled chicken breast and broccoli. I know the advice seems hard but the truth hurts and but I know your family loves you and mines loves me so we MUST pull it together and not have any more cheat days because I dont want to end up dead on the table because I did not follow directions or other complications. Everyone is here to help take the for what it was ADVICE.... They have paved the way for us. Hope this helps. Start a new tomorrow.
