pre, pre-op diet question

[achopp 0]

Hi all,

I recently got my sleeve date of March 30th!! I'm supposed to start my 2 week pre-op diet on March 16th which consists of Boost nutritional drink and light yogurt, but I'm not sure what to do until then. My eating has been out of control for about the last week and a half (when I got my sleeve date). It's as if my brain is telling me that I better "get it all in" or something while I can. I'm already at 289 pounds, I'm scared that at this rate I'll be near or over 300 by the time the 16th rolls around.

I have some old Nutrisystem food lying around. A few days ago I gave that a try, but I was so hungry at the end of the night that I caved and binged out. Actually, that's why Nutrisystem didn't work for me in the first place. I also tried tracking my calories online, hoping to eat about 1500-1700. Again, I had eaten all my calories and by the nighttime I was starving. God, I can't wait to get this sleeve...

I'm even considering starting my pre-op diet now, but I don't know if I can just eat Boost and yogurt when I know that I don't really have to yet. I'm not worried about not being able to stick to the diet 2 weeks before surgery, I'm scared of the medical consequences on that one.

So if anyone has any suggestions, advice, anything for my pre pre-op eating I will be grateful.

Thanks,

Andrea

i divided my meals in 5 small ones, and that helped towards the end of the day. you could try that and see if it works for you. basically low carb foods, veggies and fruit is part of my pre-op diet.

I don't have a date yet, but I have tried to change my habits. I eat smaller meals for lunch such as lean cusines or a small salad. For dinner I eat a normal meal but less fried foods than I'm used to. I may start just having a Protein Shake for Breakfast. This is my birthday weekend and it also will be my last weekend of eating just anything. I want to start changing now so my body just doesnt go into shock
