Going crazy on pre-op diet

[nurselori73 0]

I'm 4 days into the liquid pre-op diet and i'm going crazy. I can use Optifast, slim fast optima, or adkins shakes. I've tried optifast:smellie:, i've tried slim fast optima(cap. delight) and can't stand it either. I don't want to cheat but if i don't find something to eat soon.....I actually had un-natural thoughts about my Shampoo this morning, why do they have to put a big picture of fruit on the front of the bottle.lol. I spoke with my dietician and she said I can have any of the high protien drinks as long as they are low in carbs and fat. Is there anything out there that doesn't taste like butt? I'm having surgery on the 19th. please help.

Do you have a sprouts market? They have a brand named Nature's Plus...Spiru-tein...So far, the ones I've tasted are great..try Cookies and cream... They should be at other markets...110 cal, 14g Protein, o fat....12 sugar grams???...

EAS is a great brand, I just bought some shakes at Walmart, but the powder can be found at costco or Target. Super High Protein, low carb. some of things I am drinking right now, are 100% natural juices ie: apple, grapefruit, cranberry, grape, orange. Diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate (with water), yogurt, apple sauce (I know its more of a puree but it helps with the hunger) Low Sodium Bouillion, minute made canned juice in light flavors (very nummy, no sugar) Breyers real fruit ice pops (my favorite is the lime). crystal light, no sugar Kool-aid, sugar free Jello, unsweetened tea (very small amount) Anything with high fructose corn Syrup goes back on the store shelves. Good Luck on the liquid diet, my first day was today and already cheated. Argh!

It's only 2 weeks out of your life, you can do it!!! You're on the homestretch to surgery now!

I was pretty miserable the first few days while my body went through carb withdrawal, but once I got over that, it wasn't awful, and I was losing weight quick, which kept me motivated.

I'm finally over the insane cravings and fantasizing about any and all foods, I feel I'm on the downhill stretch. Only a week and a half to go. Last night, I was so hungry, I thought "screw this, I'm just going to postpone my surgery". But then I realized I'd just have to do this all over again and I'll never want to do a liquid diet and have to dread it. I also thought that being fat wasn't so bad after all. Thankfully, I am doing better now. The only thing is, I'm trying to get my house spotless from one end to the other before my surgery, so I won't have to worry about it for a couple of weeks. I can't seem to clean for very long without needing a break. I need some fuel, as in the carbohydrate variety!!!! Would an egg or two really hurt anything?

But I can clean again tomorrow and the next day if I have to. I've lost 7 lbs. since Friday, and I can really see myself becoming addicted to seeing those lbs. drop every couple of days, so that's my incentive to get me through til day of surgery.

Isopure is the only thing that has kept me sane. I have only a few hours to go so I made it unless I go on a massive eating binge before tomorrow morning. Good Luck.
