Anyone else do a Pre-Pre diet: and sodas

[mnmthomson 0]

So I have to do a pre-pre diet first. My Dr. requires it. Mostly so he knows I am serious and I can follow the requirements of the preop and postop diets. Anyone else have to do this? I start my diet tomorrow. As long as I am at work I know that I will be ok. Its hard for me to eat as it is and I work 12 hour night shifts and so I can do them easily and then go home and go to bed. However I just work 3 days a week. HA I know if I stay busy I will be fine.

My biggest problem I have is I am lactose intolerant and have a problem with the shakes. I am going to mix them with Lactaid or Soy or rice milk. I am sure I will be fine but because of this my whole life I have had a problem with texture. I dont like pudding that much or Jello. I also dont like the shakes that much. I gag on them. Anyone else like this? Is there anyone who has tried the Unjury shakes. I have seen they have the preop diet shakes. But they are expensive. What other shakes are good.

ALSO: I am a big coke drinker. I am trying to cut back slowly so I dont have headaches. Anyone got any advice for me?

I know I have to stop drinking them. And this is motivation for me. I know they are not good for me and if I cant ever have them again I wont.

Do you drink the Isopure? I havent heard much about it. I think I will go to GNC tomorrow and get a few and try them. I can handle those. They are pretty pricey though.

As for the cokes I have done it before cold turkey and I quit them for 6 month. Not sure why or how I started them back. But He said he was worried about me having headaches and other problems making me sick. So I am going to try it and see what happens. If I get sick then I will maybe have tea or a half a coke or something.

Thanks for the info
