So hungry on my pre op diet

[UniqueZeke 0]

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>

I am also on a liquid diet- I have to drink Atkins Advantage- surgery date is 3/24, I did break down and have some crackers. 7 more days to go!!

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..
