This my first day of my pre operative diet. I have been thinking about food all day long. My doctor say I can have two Protein Shake and one meal that consist of 4 to 6 oz of lean meat with a half of cup of vegetable. This will be a long 2 weeks amd am scared that I will fail. I hope tomorrow be better

Try spreading out your Protein Shakes into four servings and use 1/2 at a time. This may help you feel like you are getting more frequent meals.

Just had surgery yesterday so the preop diet is fresh and yes the first few days were very hard but it does get better. I was not allowed any food only Protein Shakes - stick with it - remember the goal!

You can do it. My preop diet was 2 weeks of nothing but skim mail and Water. Honestly by the end of the first week, I didn't want anything. At all. Yes, it was bad, but I made it through, and it actually did help prepare me for the diet stages after the surgery. After 2 weeks of milk, a whole week of Protein shakes was like a vacation!

Just hang in there. No part of this process is really "easier" but all the parts of it get easier all the time. Good luck!
