Second day of pre op diet

Second Day of pre op diet. Yesterday got somewhat better. Though the Protein Shakes were aweful and I had to go to the restroom afterwards, I can say my hunger was contained way better than I though. I was okay until five or six pm then I was starving!What worked for me was lots of Water and spearmint gum. I've had my Protein Shake this morning and the restroom trip:)but feeling okay so far.

The pre-op diet was tough! I had a lot of sugar free popsicles and Jello along with my Protein shakes. I had a hard time finding a Protein shake I could stand the taste of. I ended up trying some Body Fortress Protein powder from Walmart and it's tolerable. Both the chocolate and the vanilla are ok. Once you're post-op and can be back on full liquids, you can add a tablespoon of sugar free instant pudding mix to a shake for variety. I add banana pudding mix to the vanilla so it makes it a banana protein shake!

Good luck...it's tough but it's worth it. I got a reprieve the last couple of days of my pre-op diet, because I went to see my surgeon 3 days before surgery for the pre-op checkup, and told him how hungry I was and that I was having headaches, and he said I could go ahead and eat! I still did liquids only the day before the surgery but it was nice having that little time in there where I could have regular food again.
