pre-op diet from OCC

[MrsPiggleWiggle 65]

Okay, it's day 3, and I feel really great!!!! The sugar-withdrawl headache is gone, finally!!! It was HARRRRRRRD to get over that one, let me tell ya! Ouch! When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down 6 pounds. I'm having frozen dinners that are not over 300 calories (tonight was lasagne) and I'm getting 2 Protein Shakes during the day. Loving Diet Snapple Half & Half, which is an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea, half lemonaid), and my regular cold-pressed nettle leaf tea. You get tons of Vitamins and minerals from that, and it's quite good w/ a bit of Truvia if you like it sweeter. I'm eating romaine w/ wishbone balsamic spray, sugar snap peas as a snack, cucumbers, and had a bit (an ounce) of grilled chicken in my salad tonight. I'm under 800 calories a day, according to the myfitnesspal app. Ooo...had Water w/ Crystal Light's version of Mio, and tonight I squeezed in a bit of fresh orange instead. Very tasty! Still having coffee w/ Truvia and nonfat milk (a tablespoon) but no way can I withdrawl from sugar and caffeine in the same week. Headline "crazed fat woman kills 30 for a latte."

Sooo...man, this is great! Now that I'm over the withdrawl, I feel like this is a total head game from here to surgery. Why the hell could I not do this before?!?! Oh yeah, it's because I did not have to think "If I can't do this, no surgery!" Nothing like that to motivate you!

If you are struggling, know it WILL get better!!!! You CAN do this!!!

Way to go! Glad to see what you are eating. I don't start my pre-op until about Memorial Day how ironic!

I don't have a pre op diet, I am just to be the same weight as when I spoke to them 176#. But...I gained some in the meantime so I started a diet today of one Protein Drink, no junk food and healthy eating, lots of Protein and salad. Hopefully I can lose about 7 lbs.

Before the 15th that is.
