Pre-Op Diet

[lovebug17 13]

I'm on my 8th day of pre op diet which consists of 4 to 5 shakes a day 2 cups of veggies and all the crystal light and low sodium broth I want. At first it was just about the worst thing in the world but now at day 8 and 12 lbs thinner its not so bad and to be honest I'm not that hungry anymore ! My surgery is one week from today and I'm so excited and so ready !

I went to my pre-op appointment yesterday and I am even more excited to get this going. I rememeber walking out the door of the Doctors office thinking to myself this is really going to happen. A week from today I will be banded. To all of you that are getting it done today the best of luck to you on your journey....

Just a side note if any of you haven't yet check out on youtube there is lots of vlogs of different people's WLS journey. I have found lots of great information on there.

Wow - I think I can count myself lucky. My doctor's pre-op diet is note entirely liquid. It does require that you have plenty of Protein. So two Protein Shakes a day and then a small lunch and dinner. Does anyone else have a non-liquid pre-op diet?

I get to have a lean protien & veggies or a weight watchers meal for supper. With protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch along with a piece of fruit with the shakes. Not been bad at all here.
