Ymartell08 5 Posted July 22, 2014 Honestly the first day I was fine and today I woke up with a Migraine and missing food. But we have to be strong and I know I will start getting use to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leelee2728 18 Posted July 22, 2014 I'm worried about the Migraines. I get them ALOT and normally it's caffeine related and I know I will need to just get over it, and I will. WE CAN DO THIS! My name is LeeAnn, btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barriej9 61 Posted July 22, 2014 Ginko helped when I cut my caffine addiction. It took the edge off. Getting off suger was harder. I sart my pre-op diet on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leelee2728 18 Posted July 22, 2014 I will try that! I start tomorrow, so tonight is my last hurrah with food. I think this first week will be the hardest... Then get easier. I'm going Protein Drink shopping tonight. Those things are tough... So many leave an after taste or are chalky. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finally Fit in Florida 9 Posted July 23, 2014 Hey everyone! I am 8/7, too. I start my pre-op only one week before, but I have been trying to "loosely" follow it for about the past two weeks. I am down almost 10 pounds during that time alone. I'm in Florida. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leelee2728 18 Posted July 23, 2014 Awesome Finally Fit in Florida! It'll be a fun journey to all compare and help each other out! 1 Finally Fit in Florida reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barriej9 61 Posted July 24, 2014 I started shopping for my pre-opp diet. costco has some good deals on Protein Powder and Clear Liquids. My concern is all the artifical sugar and food dies. Has anyone found any sugar free option made with stevia or without tons of food coloring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agirlnamedfrankie 69 Posted July 24, 2014 I just ordered the Jay Robb sample kit based on some suggestions I'd read here. Those are made with Stevia. http://www.jayrobb.com/protein/whey-protein-samples.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leelee2728 18 Posted July 24, 2014 I'm drinking the premier Protein ready to drink shakes, in between makin my own. I got a binder at my dr.s office with a list of the things we could get. Also there are some recipes. Everything has to be 20+ Protein grams and 5g or less of sugar. I however get dinner. A very lean and small portion of protein and bright veggies. Such as a salad... I have to say, the premier shakes are not bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barriej9 61 Posted July 27, 2014 How was week one of pre-op diet? I start tomorrow. I am nervouse since I nver got my packet with details in the mail. I had to go to their website so I feel like I am going in not fully knowing it all. What was the hard part for week one? I think I will miss chewing. I do have a last dinner planned for Saturday, my one cheat meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leelee2728 18 Posted July 29, 2014 I'm on day 5 and it's not that bad! I'm ok with my shakes and such. I'm down 8lbs already... Can't complain How is everyone else doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
