Hi I've been on my pre op diet (food based liver reducing) for 4 days now and I've just started getting kidney pain. I'm drinking lots of water...feel like i'm swimming in it. Has anyone else experienced this? Wasn't sure if its normal?

Last Week Sleevers..lets Chat..
newstart replied to steelergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Was just wondering if everyone has the same sleeve size? I asked my surgeon what size he intended and he said 35fr which is 11 mm (1.1 c.m) wide. I thought that if this varied that would also have alot to do with what some can and can't eat. I'm allowed purees now but can only managed soups either small lumps at the moment was sleeved on November 8th. -

Ooh a cheat day....that sounds good. My surgeon has me on a pre op diet..so no treat day for me. But its good to know that already the way you view food and quantity is changing. I must admit i find myself getting full far quicker now and i haven't even had the surgery yet. Are you in USA? I'm in the UK so if you are i know there's a time difference. Good luck for Thursday :-) we should to check in with eachother after. :-) -

4 Days Into Pre Op ..kidney Pain
newstart replied to newstart's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thankyou. I'm measuring all foods and milk..but was just told to drink lots. Any ideas how much i should be drinking? -
I also had headaches for the 1st 3 days..i think its a bit of withdrawal from the cards and sugars. Hopefully your nearing the end if the headache part.

The're quite a few different ones...i had a choice between a shake one a milk one and a food one. Mines really quite restrictive only 200g Protein and 100g of carbs. 200ml semi skimmed milk allowance and 2 portions of fruit. No root veg peas or sweetcorn and lots of Water and leafy Veg.

I've just had my pre op assessment and i should be sleeved in the next 2 weeks. I have 2 kids 6 and 9 and work as an individual needs assistant in a primary school. I live in England and have always struggled with my weight....although if i could have the body i had at 16 i'd be more than happy either it now. I can't wait to start over with a new stomach...i just wish i wasn't so hungry on the pre op diet.
