Pre-op Diet

So I've been on this draconian pre-op diet. This is day 11, surgery is Monday. I have been having 4 shakes every day (108 grams of protein) made with water, plus drinking a boatload of plain water. And that's it! Stopped having coffee, which I miss! I haven't been headache-y though I have been noticeably physically fatigued, but I figure it's in a good cause and hopefully will help my operation to go well. I'm not usually too hungry, though I admit to drooling over some of those AMAW/CAMAW photos y'all have been posting! But the good news is that I am down 18.2 pounds since last Monday! Yay! A good start to my surgery month!

Just a few more days! Hang in there. You're doing amazingly well. :)

Thanks for your encouraging words! :)

You are a week ahead of me, and I'm already counting the days left on this preop plan. Sounds like you are doing amazing. Almost there!

We will do it SarahJane! For me getting this operation is all about giving myself a tool to help me to maintain what I lose. In the past I've been a absolutely champion dieter - but a truly lousy maintainer! This time I want to be smarter. Stay in touch! Your pre-op diet will be over in a twinkling! I wish you a wonderful journey!

That's a great start. Keep going.

Thank you Grim! I will! And Happy Birthday!
