Today is day 13 of my pre-op and I'll be happy when this is over. over. I guess I've had it easier than some. My pre-op diet was supposed to consist of 3 meal replacements of either protein shakes or bars and one real food meal. I tried to stick to the plan. But I found by day 3 that I couldn't get all the protein in. I'm lucky if I can get in one protein bar during the day. They make meal feel full and crampy. And I haven't wanted to eat again until dinner. I haven't been hungry since day 3. I know I might regret not having met my protein goals. I know my hair might fall out. I've accepted all that.

I'm still nervous and equally excited. I'm not turning back at this point but I still am having last minute jitters. In less than 48 hours I will be having my surgery.

    Hi Kaygee. Protein is my biggest issue. If I go over a certain gram, my stomach gets uncomfortably full and my stomach has a hard time breaking down the protein. When I was on HCG diet I looked forward to the protein and didn't have a hard time, but when I resumed regular diet, it was hard to make it a protein rich diet for the hair

    I think once you get surgery your body will crave the protein since your calorie intake will be lower. Good luck on surgery day

    I start mine on Thursday! Protein drinks, SF pop cycles, chicken broth, the power aide and sugar free water enhancers seems about it for 13 days. Maybe it's good that it's just liquid so I maybe I won't have the "feel full \ sick issue"? I'm hoping what everyone says is right that after the 4th or 5th day you feel better. ugh, I can do this, you can do this!! You are almost there Barbie Girl!
