The reason for my post today is that I have spent time reading many message boards where people who have started the pre op diet have cheated and are asking if everything will be OK. This baffles me, I know it is difficult but I for one want to put myself in the best position possible when I have surgery next Tuesday. I would hate to have unnecessary complications or worst case have the surgeon call off the procedure. I have worked hard in getting to this point and would not want to jeopardize the best results possible or create more risk.
Now, the fun stuff. I am on day 9 of the Pre Op diet. For me a daily exact routine works best for me. I am taking Isopure Whey Protein mixed with WATER (50 Grams of protein per serving!!) No Carbs and no sugar. Banana is awesome! I drink chicken broth. Savory Choice has these individual condensed packets that I picked up on line and they work great for on the go, etc.. Lot's of water!! Sugar Free Powerade and Sugar Free Jello Gelatin.
I spread all the liquids through the day and have the jello at night.
My worst days were days 1-4. Now I am not really hungry and I am seeing some awesome results with shedding excess water and my feet and lower legs are not as swollen. From what I learned once you go into Ketosis you really don'g get too hungry.
I may also be twisted because every night I have been watching youtube videos about the best pizza in Chicago, New York, Conneticut, etc... This some how is working for me. I know that I am not going to be able to run away from food so I chose to confront it head on. This may not work for most but it works for me. Some mental stimuli.
I wish all the best of luck and I know it is early on and I will probably go through some serious ups and downs post op but the new me that I am creating will be worth the investment.
"If it was easy anyone could do it"
By the way, my wife has also been very supportive with picking up things I need and not tempting me as after all this is also a gift to her as well.
I will everyone the best of luck and I will keep posting every few days regarding my progress.

Tom
