My Pre-Op Liquid Diet

Yesterday, July 8th started the first day of the liquid diet my doctor requested before surgery. Day one was not bad at all. I was so busy that I did not realize I had not eaten.

 

Today is a different story. I had my breakfast shake and while riding to work on the train I had my crystal light. My mid-day consisted of another shake followed by another crystal light. I didn't feel bad at all. For lunch I ran to the doctors office to pick up my FMLA paperwork. Once I was back in the office at 1 pm I had another crystal light then half and hour later had another shake. At about 3pm my head is hurting. But I press on it wasn't bone crushing but a dull ache. I get home from work and have yet another shake.

 

I am in the process of moving this week so for two hours I loaded and unloaded my car and worked up a good funky sweat. Lol. It was a good work out for sure. I need to take something for pain and I did make sure it was not aspirin or ibuprofen. Once I get showered, I plan to have another shake, the last one of the night, anything else will be crystal light.

 

For tomorrow, I will be so busy with moving that I know I won't have time to focus on food or lack of food. But I have to maintain my strength so that means getting my shakes in.

 

Well off to the shower I go, these old funky bones need it.

I haven't started my liquid diet yet, but staying busy will surely keep your mind off of food.

Good luck with the move tomorrow & Hang in there !!!!

Hang in there it will get a little easier, when all Is said and done you will have some head hunger, but your commitment to your pre op will win, and of course staying busy helps 100%, plus your burning calories with heavy sweating and moving. God Bless

Sugar-free popsicles and Jell-O saved me. I am not sure if it was the biting and chewing or what... but it made me feel like I was still eating. Just incase you get that have to eat feeling like I did. You can do it!!
