Pre-opt

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

I will be honest I think it was suppost to be 1000 calories but I tracked my stuff on Fitday.com and had 1200 to 1300. I did not stick 100% to the diet above but I kept it under 1300 at all times. One day I even had a Snickers Bar becasue I felt so crappy and three days before I went to Applebee's and got my Fav Shrimp and Spinach Salad and a Blondie brownie

I was SCARED TO DEATH on Wednesday (day of my surgery) they were going to drill me on what I had ate - but no one even asked me for the paper they asked me to bring keeping everything I ate wrote down. I worried for nothing. I lost about 6 pounds even doing what I did! I also walked on my treadmill for about 30 min every other day.
