Pre-op liquid diet

I have one and a half days until I start my liquid diet. My surgeon only requires it for one week...Thank buddha or some other deity type that could be thanked. This is my 6th day no carbs and I'm feeling good. I did this to myself. I was afraid I would get migraines when I started my liquid diet so I put myself on a week of no carbs so at least I could take my medication if I needed to. This way when I hit the liquid diet phase I won't be absolutely miserable because i won't have those migraines that set in about three days into a low carb diet.

 

I've lost 5 pounds on the low carb phase. I know it is water weight, but still weight. I'm curious to see what one week of liquids only will do to me.

Time is going really slowwwwwwww now that I am so close to my surgery date. I want it done already. It is just like the last few months of being pregnant when you are just so sick of being pregnant. Same deal!

 

Well, I'm hanging in there and that is all I can do.

That is exactly how it feels, just like being pregnant the first time although the first time for me was quite a while ago as my oldest is 28. Yu are nervous an excited and just cant wait for the day to come and you clean your house like crazy- or is that just me lol?

That is reallly smart to tier changes in your diet like that. I had to give up my favorite flavored coffee creamer - so I did it in December. I had one week for the pre-op liquid diet and had surgery on January 14th. I was so happy to be past my cravings for my coffee treat- which I would drink a pot of per day.

I went through my house and got as organized as I could to make that liquid diet week go faster. I couldn't quit talking about the surgery coming up... God bless my husband. He really was a trooper in the listening department. Now I am one week post op. The liquid diet doesn't bother me quite yet. Probably due to small problem with nausea. Good luck to u.
