Cheers to my preop diet!

I started my 2 week optifast preop today. OMG, surgery is really getting close now. I can have optifast, sf jello, water and crystal light... and that is it!  They want me to loss 20 lbs by March 5 (day before surgery) and I have to weigh in at the office and prove that I have or they will cx my surgery. ACCK! LOL

How's everyone else doing?

I start my pre-op diet on March 6.  Our surgeon wants us to drink between 60-80gms of protein a day (they estimate that to be about 4 shakes) and we can have unlimited broth, sf jello, crystal light, propel etc.  We're also allowed a 1/2 cup or sf pudding or carbmaster yogurt a day.

I'm hoping that the days go by quick once I start it as we have to do it for the 2 weeks before and the 2 after.  Fun Times!!!

Oh I'm doing great by the way LOL!

 YAY! March 6th!! That is my day as well! 
When is your surgery? Mine is March 21.

Nope I'm the day before.. March 20th... we're "almost surgery twins" LOL!!!

I'm jealous about the broth! I would love some right now.... I basically just get sweet flavored things during this preop diet... might be a good thing though because I do over do my salt intake.
Good luck on your upcoming preop diets!
