Pre Op Diet

[Tlmiller2971 10]

Im on day 2 of my Pre op diet and ended up in a position where I was out with none of my liquid meals. We ended up at Panera as I wasn't driving. I tried to make the best choice and got the low fat vegetarian black bean Soup. I didn't eat all of it and I still have 12 days till surgery. How bad did I screw up? I see my surgery nurse on Friday and will fess up but right now I feel horrible.

Is that all? My pre-op went over New Years and the surgery coordinator told me that I could cheat a bit on New Year's, but not to over do it and get right back on.

Just get your Protein, Vitamins and liquid in.

Are you loosing weight? I sure am. Not much, but it's there.

That's nothing!!! don't worry about it and just get back on track!! i've been on my pre op diet for a week and have only lost about 2 or 3 lbs and that's kind of getting me worried. I don't know how much we have to lose but it's going by so slow!

How much have you all lost so far?

My nurse laughed at me when I told her lol. She told me I did do good but get right back on. I am losing but Im sure its a lot of Fluid because I can't see how I dropped almost 10 lbs in 2 days. My NUT has me focusing on Protein and calories which I have been meeting so I guess I'm ok.

How much have you all lost so far?

1 thing to keep in mind my starting weight is 342 and I'm cut down to 1000 calories

I don't get near 1000 calories with this. I'm lucky if I hit 600. I've lost 11 pounds so far and I still have 5 days. YIKES! 5 DAYS!!!
