Day two, not loving the shakes for lunch and Breakfast, currently using the "glow" shakes by Collegen co here in Australia they are not too sweet, but not like a whey based one, not really creamy, a bit sort of slimy.. but so far I am coping ok, at least I get to have a good low carb meal at night, tonight a chicken and vegetable stir fry, with cauliflower rice, it was gooood too.

We got this January buddies!!

You're lucky it's only a week long the pre Op! I have 2 weeks, but I have seen some here have had to do 12 weeks of it 😬

I had my surgery yesterday and got to go home the same day. I’m super sore today but not bad pain wise.

That's awesome, well done! Much easier to rest and get sleep at home! 👍

How are you feeling? Able to get your Water and Protein in?

Really sore and it’s definitely a struggle. I can only take sips because if I take a bigger swallow, it hurts my stomach.

Rest up, recover, your poor body has been through a lot!

I am sure you'll be feeling much better soon. 🤗

30-45 grams Fat

Breakfast

3 PRO Servings OR 2 PRO plus 1 Yogurt

1 Starch, 1 fruit, and 1 Fat

Same as above PLUS 2 non-starchy vegetables

dinner

3 PRO
