Starting my pre-op today!

[ATLGirl 134]

Hey All,

I am entering Day 1 of my Pre-op and I am sooooo excited. I think I am almost too excited to be hungry! It's been an okay starts. My husband and I have been up since 7 with our DD. He keeps slipping up. He brought me some French Vin coffee in bed. But then I had to remind him that start my pre-op today. So only Water. I think I am going to try to plan each day out the day before. While there aren;t any calorie restrictions, I still want to make sure I look at my carbs (no more than 40 a day) sat fats (no more than 5/serving). So here is what I had and what I plan on for the day

• 9:00 am 16 oz of water and a plain hard-boiled egg
• 10:15- 16 oz of water a a half of banana (other half is my daughter's :-)
• 11:30- 16 oz of water and a apple
• 1:30- Protein Shake (150 cal/ 1 gr of sat fat/ 6 g of carbs/ 26gr Protein) and 8 oz of water
• 4ish -Some snack within guidelines (I was thinking Greek yogurt with frozen strawberries) with 16 oz of water
• Dinner- Plain chix breast w/ sweet pea with 16 oz of water
• Late night snack if needed- Protein shake (280 cal/ 2 sat fats/8 gr carb/ 56 gms of protein)

Wish me luck!

Yeah. The main thing that was stressed was getting in lots of Water, fresh fruits at least two a day, and mainly Proteins. As little carbs as possible too.

Thanks! I am FOCUSED!! I keep reminding myself "You need to shrink your liver. It's not about losing weight, but shrinking your liver." Happy and uneventful surgery is keeping my eyes on the prize.

I start mine on the 13th and my surgery is the 27th, but I have to do my psychological exam on the 10th. I live in Georgia and they are saying we will have snow and ice on the 10th. To make a long story short I'm running out of time to get all my appointments in before the surgery, but I will go on thr pre-op diet just in case. I might be on a liquid diet longer than any one person can handle.

It's worth it.
