Help!!! 4th day of Pre-op Diet

[lace 0]

I started the Pre-op diet on Tuesday, I have not yet been scheduled for surgury, but I know it will be the week of May 10 or 17. I have not been able to talk to any one at the Dr's office to get the acurate diet so I have doing what I have read here. But I am hungry. Does anyone have any ideas as to what eat in between meals to keep you satified? Please help with any advice that you would like to share with me. Thanks :smile:

What is allowed on your pre-diet? Is it a clear liquid diet or some other variation? As for being 'satisfied' during the pre-op diet phase, I never was. sugar free popcicles helped some, but not much. It's short-term though so you can get through it. Just keep on thinking of the goal you're after and good luck.

I was allowed to have sugar free Jello, Sugar Free Jello, and Natural Applesauce (no Sugar added). Which helped me considerably during those two weeks!

I never thought it would happen to me...I have such a phobia to feeling hungry but I never was completely satisfied on my pre op 10 day diet. I did drink a lot more. That did help. I honestly believe the SF popsicle helped a lot as well. And I lived! I took it one day at a time and looked back at what I had accomplished. YOU CAN DO THIS!

By the way, I was allowed two Protein drinks per day....one Protein snack and three SF jellos and/or Sf popsicles and all the Crystal light and Water I wanted. I LOVE crushed ice and used that as well as my favorite Starbucks cup to carry around with me.

I was not so hungry come day 5. I just kept up the protein..it does help. this is coming from a carb addict!! I would have an ultimate Protein Shake in the morning, broth mid moring, another Protein shake-that I makde int a pudding for more filling, another cup of broth mid afternoon and for dinner I could have 4 oz of lean meat and a 1/2 cup of non startchy veggies. did alot of grilled chicken and lettuce salads. I did drink constantly-either Water or crystal light. I was able to have sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles-2 of each a day.

I am ready. My surgery is Tuesday.

My surgery is Tuesday as well and I fell off the wagon today. I was GREAT until dinner time and I started to feel sick. I caved and ate a piece of pizza before I even knew what I was doing. I imediately regretted it.

So angry at myself but I am drinking a ton of Water and getting right back on the wagon and I know that it wont happen again. I dont want to jeopardize the surgery.
