December 26th. I started my pre-op diet on the 14th. 3 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day ; 2 yogurts (less than 100 calories - no fruit pieces); clear fluids besides. No carbonation, no caffeine.
Two days before surgery - clear liquids only.
It's been going great. Haven't cheated at all. Won't weigh myself until just before surgery. For some odd reason , I find it comforting to make dinner for my family - but I make my son do all the tasting.
The only troubling thing is that my sugar hasn't gone down. Still get fasting levels of 150-160. Even had a 188 eating absolutely no carbs. I've upped my exercise so hopefully that will help. I'm going to be pissed if this doesn't resolve my diabetes. That's my main reason for doing it.
