Never Started a Diet on a Friday



Recommended Posts

Well, I guess it is crunch time. My surgery is April 2nd and my 2 week pre-op diet starts to day. Through out my lifetime career of dieting, I have never started on a Friday.

My pre-op consist of 2 Protein Shakes, 4oz of meat and veggies. Gotta love it. I have had headaches the whole day but I am sure I will be OK. By the way the Unjury shakes taste pretty good. I tried the strawberry sherbet for Breakfast and chocolate for lunch. So far I am very impressed.

Good luck to you! I start my preop diet Sunday. Saturday is my grandkid's 6th birthday so for my last "fat picture" I am having my daughter take a picture of me stuffing my face with a piece of cake. I'm so excited and yet nervous. I guess thats how most people feel.

I don't know how to make the shakes yet, mix with some low fat milk or Water? Just seeing what all the options are.

Once again, good luck. See you on the skinny!!!:frown:

You can do it! I started my pre-op on a Friday as well, using the Unjury powder. It went very well for me so I am sure it will go well for you too! If you want to add a little something to the strawberry sorbet flavor I use 16 ounces fo Water, 2 scoops of unjury and 1 packet of crystal light lemonade--it tastes really good and really packs in the Protein.< /p>

I am thinking about you and offering up my support. My surgery is April 7 and I am counting down the days.

You will do great on the preop and the surgery. It will be worth it!

Come to think of it, I don't believe I ever started a diet on a Friday either! :frown: Good luck on your pre-op diet. I have been on mine for just over a week and my surgery is on 4/1... April is just around the corner for both of us!

You sound just like me. I started my pre-op on Friday and my surgery is also April 2nd. It wasn't so bad Friday but then yesterday, I wanted to eat everything in the grocery store. Today is a much better day. My doctor will allow one small salad tomorrow and I can't wait but I'm ok. Lots better than I thought I'd be. Good luck to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
