[PRINCESS2218 56]

I pretty sure It will pay off, for all of us. This is a major STRUGGLE!

Day 4 and I'm falling apart. I can't focus, I have no energy, and I am OH so hungry. I had a small bite of cantaloupe. I have already gone through 3 shakes and it isn't even close to dinner. Sigh. Poor me

@@PRINCESS2218 Wellllll, truth be told, I had a bit of a food funeral in the weeks leading up to the pre-surgery diet. I have no idea how much I gained between my last weigh-in and the start of the pre-surgery diet. I checked this morning and, after 3 days, I weigh the same as I did at my last weigh in, so I have hope that I should start dropping some between now and the 5th!.

Okay, I all goes well. Keep it touch with your fingers.

I'm scheduled for August 8th for surgery. Is premier Protein better than Atkins Protein shakes?

I am at the end of day 3 and work full time and have little kids - it's been tough, but I have lost 4.4 pounds. Today the kids were driving me up the wall lol so I had a banana and egg....I do not feel guilty at all though. I am doing shakes and having Protein for dinner and still cleansing, detoxing and losing weight. Don't even think I am meant to be eating protein but seriously, I cannot do 3 shakes a day and that's it. I just can't....

@@cjacks It really is just a matter of personal preference. I really like the Atkins chocolate more than Premier, but I love the Premier vanilla more than the Atkins vanilla. The benefit of the Premier is that it has twice the amount of Protein, so I feel a little more full (as much as possible on a liquid diet.) I've also bought Syntrax nectar in fuzzy navel (Vitamin Shoppe), which is a nice break from the vanilla/chocolate/strawberry shakes.

@@missblonde20 I agree, I broke down and had a string cheese and a bite of cantaloupe yesterday (day 4). Yesterday was by far the hardest day yet for me. I have heard it gets better after day 5. Here's hoping! Good luck

Thanks anniebanana for the advice. I'm starting the prep op diet while on a business trip to California, so kind of nervous about that. My doctor has not restricted to total liquid. I can have solids like chicken and boiled eggs twice a day and the prep op diet is only 7 days. I thought that was strange since I have heard others say they were restricted to liquids only.
