Day 2 of the pre op diet is south harder than day 1! I'm not going to cheat I can get through this! It's just do much harder :/ I kinda just want ti sleep the day away!

Maybe you should take a nap. In my case, I took an afternoon nap daily for the first 4-5 days, and then i don't know how/why, but I was just zinging with energy after that. If you read the posts here, everyone says two things. a) the first few days are a total b**ch and it gets better. So hang in there, and since you started on the weekend, take advantage of it to rest and nap.

Yeah, you can do it! Drink broth with salt. It will help and give you some energy.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

So it's okay to have salt? I'm just so worried I had so many set backs I'm worried to do anything wring

Your body will die without salt. Society had made salt a bad thing, but you can't live without it. My doctor encouraged drinking broth with salt. The sweetness of the Protein Shakes can get to you after awhile.

You can also get a high Protein chicken Soup mx from Unjury. You might want to order that . You're going to be on liquids for awhile.

I feel do unprepared

I feel do unprepared

Read lots and lots. I systematically read every thread on the first page of every forum here, and some of them, I read more than that. You have to prepare yourself. All the resources are here. At first I asked questions, and then I realized most of my questions had been patiently answered by helpful people over and over. They'd also answered questions I hadn't yet thought to ask in other threads. I learn so much on this forum daily, it's very empowering.

You'll do fine

Just wanna say day 2 sucks!!!! Just 5 more data if this then 3 day clear liquids! I need to keep really busy and speed up time!

I am day two too! I absolutely agree today has been more difficult than yesterday. I am fairly certain I read another post, are you 4 Protein Shakes a day? Mine is a little more forgiving: 3 Protein shakes, 5 oz of meat, 2 C raw veggies and 1 C cooked veggies (split over two meals) but I have struggled! Is your surgery day the 27th?

[cheeze82 59]

Surgery day is 26th and I am allowed just 3 shakes and 1 frozen entree between 300-400 cals

I started yesterday and from fri to today scale says I lost 5 lbs, probably because I'm barley getting g 1000 cals

I hope the rest if days are more like the first day! The first day was great! Them I hit today :/
