Pre-op Diet

I am 7 days away from my partial liquid diet and  21 days away from surgery. My surgery date is November 26, 2013.In the mean time, I am struggling with the Cpap machine. It is getting a little longer to get used to using a mask to sleep at night. Also my mouth gets very dry, but I called my supplier and I think I found a solution ( a chin strap) hopefully when it arrives it helps me get an actually good night sleep.

Anyways my pre-op partial liquid diet starts in 11/12 the day after my pre-op visit. The diet consist of two weeks of mostly liquids as follow: Glucose Controlled Boost or Ensure High Protein shake drinks
8am shake
10am shake
noon shake
2pm shake
5pm meal ( 4-5 oz of lean meat and 1-2 cups of fresh non starchy vegetable
bedtime shake
and 64oz of water, which i think is going to be the hardest thing to do.

I have lost a total of 25 pounds since i started this journey. And this is just the beginning. I mostly struggle with energy and finding fighting cravings. Now only 21 more day for my new life to start.
