I just want a salad!

[cheneisew 52]

So here's the story...

I'm scheduled for surgery on the 13th...yay!! I'm also a low bmi at 36.5 so I only have to do a week for you preop diet.

But this week has been the hardest trial in my food career. Not only is it my birthday during the diet it is also my bf birthday and a important event centered around food.< /p>

If my preop was low carb meals mixed with shakes it would be a breeze. But nope my doc wants 5 shakes a day nothing else but Water. No Jello, no Popsicles, no broth nothing to it break up.

Never in my life have I wanted a mixed greens salad with chicken in my life. I can do without the burgers and super fatty foods. I just need something different than a shake for the next couple days.

Now that my rant is done I'm going to go make another shake and be head hangry.

I'm also lower bmi (33) but I have to do the full 2 weeks of liquids only but I can have broth at least!

That's unlucky that you caught 2 birthdays and a food based event during this time!!

I'm very hangry at the moment too, I'm almost at the halfway point & then surgery on the 21st.

Goodluck with your surgery

I'm in france and they only require two week liquid diet for the band. For the sleeve and bypass their prefer just a low fat diet. It's all about cleansing the liver of fat to shrink it. I'm no expert at all but as long as it's not fried chicken on the salad, I would think it ok? I could be completely wrong mind you...

So I gave in and had a baby salad because I was out and had no protien and need to eat

Be sure you share this news with your surgeon--tomorrow.

[cheneisew 52]

I will. But according to my surgeon and NUT the purpose for my preop is to shrink my liver not to drop weight. But it likely won't do much for me since I have a low bmi and not much of a chance having a fatty liver. But I'm back on the wagon and making sure I don't bank on new protien mixes to taste yummy

If I didn't know better I would of think this was my post. I going through the exact same things. Surgery is tomorrow, one week liquid diet, 5 shakes, (but I can sub one shake for yogurt, pudding, creamy soap)

I have been wanting a chicken SOOO bad this past week. Then I started craving things I don't like. Now it's Clear Liquids only I'm stuck eating or drinking I should say is only Water and green Jello. ( dr doesn't want me eating reds or purples) and I don't want broth because too much salt.
