February 2016 sleevers?

I had a hard time because of hunger and tiredness the first two days. Wednesday and Thursday weren't as hard but I was still hungry. Today I had a harder time because there was a Superbowl Party right behind my desk, but I have fantastic friends that brought veggies and low fat dip and a strawberry salad. I had raw veggies with a little dip and a salad with some raspberry vinaigrette. Not too much sugar and I didn't veer far off the path too far. I had a shake an hour ago because I stay hungry! Do the best you can. It's a struggle but you can do it! -

Day four of the diet and I can't believe that I have made it this far. I know that sounds so stupid but I didn't realize how much I was going to miss coffee and my peanut butter wheat toast in the morning. I am such a creature of habit! Although I have more energy, I still would give my left arm for a good cup of coffee! Oh well, all in due time. I tried a cup of decaf, and that was just pointless. 11 more days of this! -
Self-pay cash, as in $10K in actual cash bills. Opinions?

I can't imagine why a physician would ask for cash if they work for a hospital. Can you give them a cashiers check? That might be a better option. -

Third day on diet so much better. I went to bed around 9ish last night and woke up this morning around 6:00a.m. I usually go to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 5:30, so my body must have needed the rest. I had a shake for breakfast and I am eating a Subway salad for lunch with lemon and a little balsamic on the side. The preop diet gets a little easier. I have had headaches from the caffeine withdrawal but they are getting better, and I wasn't as tired this morning. -

I went to sleep at 8:30 last night after a hot bubble bath, a Protein shake, and preparing Soup for tonight's meal. My husband has taken over the kids homework (we usually work in tandem) and making dinner for the 3 of them. I work for a company that buys groceries and we got some samples in of Quest Protein powders (individual packs and different packaging) that will hit the shelves end of February. They have a salted caramel is simply the best. I wish it was available now. I can't hardly stomach strawberry powder because of the smell. I am definitely going to enjoy having some soup tonight. I walk with friends 1 mile in the morning and 1 mile in the afternoon and I find myself not being able to keep up. I sure hope the tiredness ends soon. That's the worst part of this diet, well that and the lack of coffee! Only 13 more days to go! -

I'm scared too, but after reading all the notes from people that say they would do it again in a heartbeat, I feel a little better. My Dr. is wonderful as well so he did put me at ease. My biggest concern is waking up but he told me that shouldn't even be a concern. Just think how wonderful it will be even in 2 months. We can do this! -

Okay, 1st day of pre op diet (surgery is 02-15) and although it's not bad, I am exhausted. I knew that caffeine was going to kick my butt. I have been off sodas for a while but my cup of coffee in the morning is what I am missing the most! I am going to puree' some roasted asparagus with some chicken broth (add some protein) and make a Soup when I get home, then it's shower and bed. My husband has been so supportive through all this so I feel very blessed. I am concerned about how much pain there might be afterward. I got all my prescriptions filled this weekend and had a liter of Hydrocodone w/Acetaminophen prescription. It sure seems like a lot of pain medicine. Hopefully, I won't have to use it all? -

I don't have to start my diet until February 1st but OMG this is going to be hard. I had a practice run yesterday and fell off the wagon. It was a small slip, but a slip nonetheless and I am sure it's because I know in the back of my mind it is a practice run. I need to have more vegetables on hand. I am going do lot of prep work with salads and veggies this weekend (make some spaghetti squash with garlic salt and Pam and some seasoned baked Kale chips) and I have plenty of protein powder, Isopure drinks, and broth on hand. I am getting more intimidated by this 2 week diet than the procedure itself! -

My surgery is Feb. 15th. I start my pre op diet 02-01. I am excited, nervous, and scared. My main concern is the pre op diet. It's liquids and vegetables.
