I started my 2-week pre-op diet on Thursday:

A.M.: pick two of the following: fruit, cereal, oatmeal, egg, toast
Noon: protein shake (may use milk/soy milk and add fruit for taste)
Dinner: one serving lean meat and one serving green vegetables
P.M. Snack: another protein shake

I am sooooooo tired. :notagree All I want to do is sleep! Is this normal? I am also still taking my regular multiple vitamins.

I start my pre-op diet in the morning. For the first week I get two protein shakes a day and a reasonable dinner (200 calories and 20 grams of protein). The second week is 4 to 5 protein shakes a day. I get banded on 7/30/07. I was hoping I wouldn't get tired. YOu know how sometimes when you're on a diet the second or third day you get your second wind? I'm hoping that happens with me. I've taken off work from Monday to Wednesday this week. My pre-op is Wednesday.

Goodluck!!!
