July 14

Hello all
I'm schedule for July 14th.  I haven't been the best on the liquid/protein.  I'm allowed two shakes a day and a meal of meat and two veggies.  Have been doing okay, but find myself saying goodbye to foods and drinks that I won't be able to have for a while.  What I've realized is that its not goodbye forever its good bye and I will see you again in moderation!!  Think now that I've realized that I may be able to stay more focused. Any Ideas?

I'm having surgery the same day.  I'm drinking protein shakes and lots of water in between.  Honestly, I'm not hungry but tired of the protein shakes already.

14th here too. Let me be completely honest. I haven't been too good on my "30" carbs a day. Atkins style. Yuck, im not a big meat eater.  I find myself thinking that same thing! Im glad to hear im not the only on strugling.

Congratulations on your surgery date!  I'm not have the best time on this two week pre-op diet either, but I'm trying to remember to see the bigger picture.  What am I drinking these shakes for?  If I can remember that then hopefully I'm going to be fine.  Good Luck to you!!!

I've done atkins before and have been successful and am pretty much doing atkins now.  I'm just having a problem with doing the two shakes and nothing else  I'm a grazer so I'm munching on nuts and things like that but I'm determined to do better.  I do preop tomorrow and a weighin at my doctors office....and then its over until next tuesday.  By this time next week I will be out of suregery and on the path of recovery.

my surg date is July 14th as well, I'm having the band  done, thank god I have no pre-op instructions( that i can say now) i go and see the dietitian on Fri, I'm sure she may tell me something preop and post op, I bought the protein drink Whey from walmart, haven't tried it  might taste it tom... anyway congrats on ur surg day and best wishes on a quick recovery....
