Okay this is what I am having to do:
For two weeks I had to drink 3-4 protein shakes and have one meal, I did this 4/23-5/6.
Beginning 5/7 unitl surgery on 5/22, I am required to drink 5-6 protein drinks (a min. of 5), and no food, but I can have sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and broth to help me feel like I am not completely starving.
During the 1st phase of this I had lost 11 pounds when I went for my last pre-op on 5/4 and my nutritionist said I may lose around another 10-11 before surgery.
However, this is what was outlined for me, you should check with your surgeons office (your nutritionist and dietian) to make sure it is okay for you to divert from the plan they have oulined for you. It is best to follow the program that they have put you on because there is a reason for it. So make sure you check with them FIRST before youu change anything.

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!
