I AM STARVING ON PRE-OP DIET

[dancingnancyva 0]

I am thankful that I only have to do this preop diet for 7 days, but all I get are Slim Fasts (6 a day) and Crystal Light - that is it! No broth, no Jello. Can this be right? I'm only on day 1 and my head hurts, I feel dizzy, tired. How can I do this for 6 more days???

Dancingnancyva,

It is hard the first 3 days then it gets easier. You can do it! Stay focused on the prize & end result! The headaches will go away. You will start to feel good. I didn't make any plans during my pre-op diet so I was put in tough situations. Stay strong!

I am on day three of mine and it is getting easier. I am allowed to have 2-3 Protein Shakes and a couple of lean pieces of Protein like chicken and pork chops. Also, I can eat all the sugar free Jello, pudding, and green vegetables I want. The first two days without carbs were the hardest, but I am doing better now!! I am keeping my eye on the prize. Ten more days and then I have my surgery...woohooo!!!
