Hello everyone,
My name is Kelli and I am a newbie to the site. My surgery date is Sept 11, 2013. I am super duper excited about it because I have waited so long for this. However, I am struggling with my pre-op diet. I substitute Breakfast and lunch with a Protein shake. Usually the gladiator smoothie from Smoothie King. Then dinner is about 4 oz of lean beef, chicken or fish, one cup of veggies and one cup of fruit. I have to admit though, I have cheated by eating an extra cup of veggies or fruit or an hard boiled egg without the yolk...or I would eat lots of broccoli or raw spinach just to take the edge off. Four days into the diet I weighed myself and I only lost a pound. Now I have about 7 days to go and I am wondering if I should reschedule or is it possible to redeem myself by sticking to the diet for the remaining 7 days? Not sure what to do from here. Any suggestions and or comments is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelli
