Do not consume ANYTHING after 10pm the night before your surgery.  \nWhat types of things may I experience during these 2 weeks?  \nIt is not uncommon in the first few days to feel hunger, light-headedness, dizziness and fatigue. After the first few days (typically after the 4th day), you will start to feel much better as your body adjusts.  \nBe sure to drink plenty of fluids: water, low-calorie beverages (i.e. Crystal Light, diet decaffeinated ice tea, diet lemonade, Nuun, etc. ) and decaffeinated coffee/tea are all acceptable. (No carbonated, caffeine or alcohol containing beverages) .  \nKeep your “meals” spaced throughout the day; think “small frequent protein-dense meals.”(see sample menu)  \nIf you currently exercise, you may want to cut back on the frequency or duration during these 2 weeks.  \nStay busy & positive!  \nWhat does the diet look like?  \nYou will have 3 Protein shakes/foods (see below) plus 1 Healthy Meal each day.
