Hi, My preop diet is protien shakes and water ONLY. My surgeon wanted me to do 4 weeks of the preop diet but on one of the hand outs it said 3 weeks so that's what I am going with. $ weeks would be torture!

Best of luck!

My pre-op diet was 30 days and less than 30 carbs per day. The first week was the roughest. It does get better and it is all worth it!

You can doit.. we have to for the betterment of ourselves! I'm currently in my second week of pre-op, it's been hard, I have been spreading my protein out through out the day in between the shakes, and trying the sf jello and posicles. I know it will be worth it in the end, but boy am I cranky, and have a headache!

3 weeks to 30 days! Wow. I don't have surgery scheduled yet but I have started substituting one meal a day with a protein shake and cutting back on the caffine. My two weeks is starting to look like a walk in the park.

I think the headaches were part of the worst of the pre-op. We really don't realize how addicted to sugar and caffine we are until we take it away. At least doing it early on makes it easier after surgery IMHO. One less thing to deal with.

I don't imagine the fact that I have been eating whatever I want to over the last few days is going to help with the withdrawl from the salt and sugar but what's done is done. 30 days is brutal. My Surgeon wanted me to do 4 weeks but on one of the hand outs I recieve it said "Start at least 3 weeks preop" and that's what I decided to do. I knew 3 weeks was going to be hard enough with only protien shakes and water allowed. To those who do the 30 days you rock!
