One week from tomorrow!! My date is January 6th! This is my first post, I have been doing so much reading! You all have so many great ideas and words of encouragement! I have been doing my 2 week pre op diet. Mine consists of 4 protein shakes a day 2 with water or other acceptable clear liquid choice (diet V8 splash, crystal light, Propel, Smart Water, Snapple diet ice, decaf tea or coffee, minute maid Light), unlimited amount of non starchy veggies and 6 servings a day of either a 1/2 cup cooked cream of wheat or oatmeal, 1 cup V8/tomato juice,1 cup sugar free pudding, 6oz fruit-flavored (no fruit chunk) light/fat free yogurt, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. Plus 64-80 oz water or sugar free beverages. I feel like I have been doing very well with this. It was hardest on Christmas day. I just made a huge pot of vegetable soup and did my best staying away from the things I love. Today made a vegetable stir fry. I love veggies and enjoy eating them and trying new things. I also made spaghetti squash and it was delicious, but tonight I'm TOTALLY over vegetables!! I don't even want to look at them! I think I have burned myself out! What to do for the last week of this? I want some meat! I bought some giant artichokes to steam, so I hope those work for tomorrow night! I have been using the Nectar Chocolate truffle, double stuffed cookie, and roadside lemonade protein shakes so far. These have all have been yummy. I hope to continue to learn and grow from this site and wish everyone the best of luck!
