VLC Diet 3 weeks before surgery
I have 3 weeks before my gastric bypass and they put me on a 1000 cal VLC diet. This is the worst ever! I am starving and since I am diabetic my B.S has been low. My doctor already dropped my medication dose but It's still low, so I am going to stop taken them until I can see my doctor again. But It is so hard to follow this diet when I am starving. My diet is as follows:
protein shake for breakfast
protein shake for lunch
frozen dinner under 350 cal high protein for dinner
1 cup of yogurt or fruit for snack and 1 cup vegi's
How do you live off this little food? I don't think I'm gonna make it 3 weeks on this diet!

I understand your frustration!! I'm 3 wks out from surgery as well ( May 24th ) and They have me on a liquid diet 4 protein shakes a day, water, or low cal drinks, can have very little cottage cheese or egg whites. I'M STARVING TOO !!! I make my shakes with yogurt or a dab of peanut butter....but I'm light headed and I have terrible headaches. I tried to add egg drop soup....i could eat (drink) that till the cows come home!! why 3weeks of this!! others I have talked to only did a week or maybe 2, but I have to change something....I'm dizzy and lightheaded all the time now. Good luck to you hope things get better for you!!
