You will be ok as long as you don't gain is what my doctor said | |
I also have started my pre-opt diet (day 3) and my doctor said it's mainly to stop you from gaining weight and get you ready for lower calorie intake.
My Pre-Opt 14 day diet (given to me by Dr. Teel) is the following:
3 Carnation Instant Breakfast Drink No Sugar 8 oz skim or 1% milk
2 Healthy Choice (or the like of - Smart Ones etc.) 220 to 300 Calories
2 cups of low Calorie Veggies No Sauce or cheese or anything just Veggies
64 oz a day of water or zero cal drink
It all adds up to about 1000 Calories a day with any zero Calorie drinks you want
I still get hungry but I have tried to spread it out over the day saving what I can for the evening because that is the hardest for me.
I work with someone who did not even have to do the pre-opt diet - so just hang in there.
Hope this helps - good luck!
