Am I delusional?

[jennifer1 180]

Today was day one of my 2 week pre-op diet. My diet is very strict allowing only liquids. So far so good. I stuck to it 100% and even worked out at the gym. Am I being delusional in thinking the whole 2 weeks will be like this. If this is as bad as it gets then I can handle it. What is everyone elses experience with an all liquid pre-op diet. Is it going to get worse?

I'm sure by day 13 you will be thinking differently haha (then another week or two after surgery, then mushies for a week a or two..). But eventually you will get to eat again!

Maybe you're feeling quite excited that you finally have the date for surgery? Today was my 1st day and it's been hard not to eat! I wanted a starbuck's coffee SO badly today and I don't know how I avoided it. I can truly tell why I failed every other diet...I always say "I can do it later..." With this, I know I can't mess up these next 2 weeks so that's making me stay on track. I hope you continue with your delusions and have a great 2 weeks

Is your surgery the 24th also?? I wish it would hurry up and get here!

Day one was great- I was pumped for my surgery and excited it was so close. Plus, it was almost an "adventure" to just have Clear Liquids (broth) and Protein Shakes. By day 3, caffeine withdrawl headaches set in and by day 5 I was grumpy and cranky. Day 7, though, wasn't too bad, because it was the "halfway" mark for the liquid preop diet. The second week wasn't too bad. I actually learned a few things (like I could use the seasoning packets from Ramen noodles to make my broth and that I could had plain Protein Powder to my broth to make it "heartier") and was getting closer to surgery. By the morning of surgery, I couldn't wait to have "real food" (ie: cream of wheat) when I got home.

my surgery is the 20th. day two wasnt that bad either. someone bought in baked chicken at lunch and i wasnt tempted at all. i even when to the grocery store to pick up some more liquids and Soup and i didnt pick up anything extra except some SF peppermints to fight the bad breathe! LOL! I'm looking at this a challenge to myself and praying I make it the entire way! 10 more days til i'm banded!!!!!!
