Pre-op diet- kill me now!

[mstrina27 0]

My sons karate instructor said that he went 39 days without food just drinking Water and on about day 6 he wasn't really hungry anymore...

I tried those shakes at Walmart the generic ones just to help lose some before the surgery because my surgeon said I didn't have to do a preop diet if I lost 10 pounds! But those are actually good I am not kidding... But even tho I am not hungry after drinking one I am trying to keep from thinking of real food like stuff you chew thats my problem :eek:

Brandy... that's funny... why did he only go 39-days with out eating food.. why didn't he do the full 40? He prob. started nawing at his hands...lol...

What are the Wal-Mart Protein Shakes called and what part of the store are they in? I'd like to try them because you said they're good. Thanks, Rachel

I am glad I am not the only one who has cheated. My surgery is tommorrow. I mostly have stuck with the sugar busters diet for the last two weeks, which is what my surgeon asks us to do, but if I were a great dieter I would not need lap-band.

I haven't started the pre-op diet yet, I have a little over a month before my surgery. I have been trying to sample different drinks to see which ones I will be able to stand when I have to live off them for a few weeks. I can't stand the Slim Fast drinks. Carnation Instant Breakfast are not much better. I tried Unjury and they are not too bad. I'll have to try the Wal-Mart brand and see how they are. I am so not looking forward to living on liquids!

Well it is day 4 and i am still alive on this preop diet. Trying to stick to it and not cheat. The carnation instant breakfast drinks are not that bad but I think by the end of this I am gonna hate chocolate milk. When dinner time rolls around I get so excited cuz I can eat real food. Is that sad or what. But we are doing good. Lets hope the next 10 days go better.

I know its rough... I am trying a trial run of it right now I am on day 3 of replacing 2 meals with Protein Shakes and then I eat a pretty plain chicken breast meal at the end of the night with a veggie (plain :tongue_smilie: ) I don't have to do it but I know it's not hurting me to get in the swing of things. I only have 6 days till I request for insurance to give me pre authorization so I am gearing up for it. I would love to walk into surgery with the scale already headed in the downward motion!
