PreOp Diet tips or encouragement
iegal replied to iegal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay - jitters are coming on. Maybe coming down with a cold or it is hypochondria? Friday come soon. -
Anyone struggling on preop diet? Will you share your stories so I do not feel alone? Surgery date is 9/17. Excited but isolated.

Hello FJM;
Will be thinking of you this Friday. Be sure to stay in touch so we can cheer each other on the road of recovery and beyond.

Hello;

Thinking of you all today and will be praying for your fast recovery.

Day 7 - So as not to feel so alone - I have read your stories too. We are each incredible people. You and I have overcome what seemed to be impossible. Me, no cheats although I have had so much temptation as we all face. If I am half way there do I give in to a small satisfaction for a HUGE success so close at hand? NO. Shall stay in control and will beat the hunger pains, noisy stomach, the small headaches and weakness. Now the focus is the reality of what can be with my new "tool." Truly the desire is to be healthy, vibrant and easily mobile rather than just stuffed and asking why did I do this...again? No more quick roads to happiness. You give me strength to know I can succeed. Thank you all for your ongoing encourangement. Come soon Sept. 17th (should I break out in song now? hehe) -
Well - we were supposed to have surgery the same date, but lucky you got moved up to tomorrow. Congratulations! Keep in touch and will pray for a speedy recovery

Hi guys, Today is day 5 and I am doing very well - no cheats. A lot of credit to those of you who have talked me through the first couple of days where yes, I was cranky to say the least. Thank you! Diet is liquid only, with a Protein bar thrown in. I am adapting since this is how I will live for a while after having surgery. -
Hi Wedding Planner; My doctor, Dr. Quebbeman told me that one week ahead I had to stop taking any suppliments/herbs of any kind. You should be okay - but if you are truly freaking out, call your doctors office and ask. Also - make yourself feel better and stop today just in case. Let me know what your docs office says.

Hi Wedding Planner; I am on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. 1 of the protien packs they gave me can be made into pudding...nasty pudding I choke down. Thank you for your response. Where are you in process? -

Two Steps Back; Thank you, thank you for the words of encouragement. Laughing at your making popcorn but throwing it away - hoping I would have your strength. I am starting fresh today. Hugs to you! ocgal -
Hi sweetie333;
I read your encouraging message to determined one. Thank you for reminding me that I can make this work. How are you doing now?
-
Sorry - new to this so I did not read your message first. I am on Day2 - protien shakes/protien pudding (crazy huh?) and one protien bar per day. Allowed to eat raw vegtables, no salad dressing or dip. No coffee/tea or herbal suppliments. What about you?
-
Hello - congratulations on your surgery date...notice we are the same. Day 2 of preop diet...are you on a diet also? How are you doing? I am getting my surgery locally. Excited to share our experiences.
