Scared - About To Start Preop Diet

[criney 6]

Yes, I am using the best surgeon I could find, Dr. Andrew DeWitt in Birmingham, Alabama. I did alot of checking before I chose a surgeon. This is a huge investment for me and I wanted someone with a good record. I am glad I don't have to do a strict diet before but I am planning to cut out sugar and carbs a week early so that my body is not craving them and I don't have caffeine headaches while recovering from surgery so i will do two weeks of low carbs and two days of liquids pre-op.

Well today was day 1 and I survived!!

My diet is also to shrink the liver. I'm allowed, plain oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, Protein shakes(of course), no sugar added applesauce, sugar free Jello, SF pudding, SF popsicles, strained cream Soups, broth or Tomato Soup. I can have sugar free koolaide, crystal lite, skim or 1% milk, etc to drink. There are some other things on the list but it cant be more than 1000 kcal per day.

Like I said, I made it through day 1, 13 more to go!

I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet and I gotta say it has been easier then I thought it would be. It's amazing how your body can get used to things. I don't even have 1000 calories a day and I am hardly hungry and dont feel weak. Have lost 8 lbs. 6 days till the start of my new life!!!
