Pre op diet starts tomorrow

[JinTx 19]

So, title says it all. Tomorrow I start preop diet. My diet is not liquid, so that is a plus. I have to stay under 30 carbs a day. I did a couple of "trial runs" last week and although I have done low carb diets in the past I never realized how restrictive 30 carbs is. One day I only ate veggies and Protein and went to 40. Guess if it gets tough I can just come here and realize that it could be so much worse...i could be on nothing but Protein shakes.

Take care,

Awesome! We can do this together then! I started yesterday! And I have to say...i'm hungry! But it is a 'mind' hunger??? How can that be!? I am on a complete liquid Meal Replacement through the Dr office. I can add fruit to it and I can have sugar free juice or Jello but that is it! Be grateful you can have things to chew! I just want to chew food! I have this for 14 days then a total fast the day before surgery....how long do you have to do this?

I can't believe I don't have more of a headache. I'm also going without soda but I am sipping on crystal light instead of my diet dr p.
