Day Four...Pre-Op Diet..Going Well

[Lemon 0]

I have to be on a 10 day diet before surgery. I am drinking two Pure Protein Powder vanilla shakes a day. I mix it with 12 oz of 1% milk. (Breakfast and Dinner) I then drink 4 oz of 100% Apple juice. Mid-morning I drink 20 oz of Water. At lunch, I have 1/2 cup of broth and 16oz of water. Midafternoon I have a special K Protein water with Fiber, I mix the packet with 20 oz of water. For dinner a Protein Shake and a popsicle. I tried to eat the yogurt and cottage cheese but it does not seem to satisfy me as much as the drinking. I taking two Flintstones Vitamins in the morning. I feel great and have energy!

Now to my downfall, Easter dinner. I think that I am going to skip the dinner and drop my kids off with the family. No temptations!

I was shocked this morning when I stepped on the scale and had lost a total of 9 lbs.

Temptation sux! Especially on the special food holiday's. I am going to allow myself some rich Soup on that day but thats it as far as the bad foods go. I am being sleeved on the 27th. Can't screw it up now! Good Luck!

It sounds like you're doing great! I am hoping to avoid situations too, but I don't start pre-op till the 6th. Congrats on the 9 lbs, that's awesome!! Good luck!
