Liquid Preop Diet Day 5

[Pam2011 26]

I started my 2 week liquid pre op diet on Monday, May 28 and I am on Day 5 today. I have lost almost 6 pounds since Monday! I'm loving it! I hope to loose 8 or more pounds by my surgery date of June 11 to bring me at loosing an even 50 pounds pre op since Jan of this year!

I haven't had any problems with the preop really. I am supposed to get 4 shakes in a day but only getting 3 in, 2 mixed with skim milk and 1 mixed w/ Water. I am getting in the 1000 cals and total grams of Protein of 100 grams and 100 grams of carbs so I think it will be ok if I am not getting 4 shakes in a day. I am able to eat certain veggies unlimited in amounts from a list my bariatric program gave me and then up to 6 servings of another list of things but I haven't ate 6 servings of them on any day so far and have only had one or two unlimted veggie at lunch and at dinner.

I am glad I decaffinated and decarbonated myself in March of this year along with cutting out other bad foods since I think it makes it easier to do this 2 week pre op diet.

I have been jumping on the scales every morning now seeing what I have lost in a day! I know that is bad but every morning it shows me weighing less and less so I can't help it!

Going to Good Will this weekend to try to find some cheap jeans and pants for work since all my pants are now all too big in my closet! I don't wanna pay alot for clothes right now cause I know I will be dropping more after my surgery!

Good luck to all the June Sleevers and those on your liquid diet or going to begin their liquid diets soon!
