From one Gary to Gary, you will do fine. The eating habits you learn on the pre op will reward you after surgery. Find the things you like now, so that you can revisit them when you have those times, when the needle on the scale gets stuck.

Day 7 - had my post op visit with the nutrionist. Stocked up on goodies for week 1-4. Just had dinner feeling pretty good. One week to go.

This might be a dumb question, but on the pre-op diet since you are allowed to have as much broth as you want, do any of you think that egg drop Soup would be okay. It is mostly broth with just a little bit of egg in it. Or even buy the packet to make it and don't put the egg in it. I bought some packets of broth that are sodium free and they aren't too easy to get down.

I work at a hospital and when it was lunchtime I AVoided the all together . We have an outdoor sitting are up by ICU and I would go up there and drink my shake. That was the only way I could do it at work ..good luck- you can do it!

My preop diet was three shakes a day and Water and that was it. By the second day I had a headache and was nauseated so I just went to bed after work. The old saying goes "this too shall pass" at least there was an end in sight! It's flipping your body into a metabolic state that will aid in jump starting your eating and helping to shrink fat around your liver to make your surgery easier. Good luck-you can do it!

That's because you have dropped your carb intake significantly! Great job!
