So hungry on my pre op diet

UniqueZeke · March 16, 2008

Tanks all, Great ideas.
I couldn't stand it last night and "cheated" I had a cup of chicken broth. It was great.

My dated is 3/25. I've lost 18 pds on my pre- pre op diet and now my pre op diet.

I'm a Chaplain for Hospice and see many people facing an early end of life because of live style choices. I don't want that for me so, this at age 52 will help me change that for me.

I'm on day 9 of my pre-op diet, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. According to my 800 cal diet that I've been given to follow, I can have as much broth as I want...so don't feel so bad about cheating! You made a good choice! You could have cheated with something much worse!!

You can't drink any crystal lite, or any chicken broth or anything? OMG

Nope, Just Water and Optifast.< /p>

You know I've only been using Slim Fast Optima and Atkins. They didn't taste too bad at first, overly sweet and left an odd taste in my mouth. Now, 6 days later, I've started to crave them! I haven't tried any others because I love these. I've got the Slim Fast Optima French vanilla and Milk chocolate and the Atkins Caramel Latte which tastes like a frappachino.

HELLO JENA,

I'M ALSO ON MY PRE-OP DIET AND TRIED THE SLIM FAST OPTIMA.... I DON'T CARE FOR IT EITHER! :confused2:

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I WON'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING WITH SPLENDA, EQUAL OR SWEET N LOW. I CHECKED THE INGREDIENTS IN SLIM FAST OPTIMA AND IT HAS ARTIFITIAL SWEETNER IN IT. I THINK THAT'S THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I SWITCHED BACK TO THE REGULAR SLIM FAST.... AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE SPLENDA IN IT.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF YOUR PRE-OP DIET AND YOUR UP COMMING SURGERY!! :thumbup:

I hope things are going better today... Now i don't have a date scheduled yet but i have been drinking the Bally chocolate protien shake and i put lots of ice and mix it with Water and use my my magic bullet and wait about 5 minutes and then drink it with a straw and it is actually good... prehaps if you add some ice and mix it in a blender or something and make it super cold it wont taste too bad... just a thought..
