Ok so today was day 1 of my pre-op diet. My surgery is scheduled for next wednesday and I have to be on a high protein, low carb diet prior to surgery. It's kinda like South Beach. Your body goes into ketoacidosis which helps it drop weight rather fast. My surgeon said that the diet reduces belly fat and it also helps shrink the liver to aid in surgery. Needless to say DAY 1 HAS BEEN A BITCH!
I had a strawberry protein drink for breakfast, a protein bar for a morning snack, a rotisserie chicken breast with no skin and veggies for lunch, a chocolate protein shake for a late afternoon snack before the gym and then a salad and a chicken breast for dinner...it's 8:23pm and I'M STARVING! I am sure I will get used to it. No soda has given me the biggest headache!
All in all day one not so bad. I tried drinking lots of water throughout the day to curve the hunger. We will see how Day 2 goes.
Here are my first pics and weigh to match. Its only going down from here!
