Pre-op liquid "D" word.

[shazini 94]

Okay so I'm a couple days into this pre-op liquid food plan and I must say I'm not a fan!

I've been on a lot of different eating regiments but never this -- it sucks.

No I'm not gonna quit, what're you take me for.

I'm just bitching around here that's all!

Thank God I had NO pre op diet whatsoever. My dr said just to have a light dinner the night before and nothing after midnight. So, my "light" dinner consisted of a slab of ribs, a baked potato, salad and cheesecake from Outback. I considered that light at the time. I barely made it on the 4 weeks liquid diet afterwards. If it weren't for Tomato Soup I probly would've starved to death.

Good luck to you. It WILL be over soon and you'll be on your way to a new you! I promise you it will be worth it!

Honestly I am sooooo thankful that I had a 10-day liquid pre-op diet. It shrank my stomach and thought me what real hunger is. I have no issues telling the difference between real hunger and head hunger now. I think it made the food progressions after surgery so much easier.

Focus on the prize of surgery, keep reminding yourself this is only temporary. Others have done it, you can do it.

I does suck, no doubt about that! The good news is it does get better. Hard to believe, huh! Hang in there friend and try to stay busy so you don't think about food. It's okay to vent here.

b***h away! Yes it does suck...but somehow we all dig deep enough and get it done! Cheers to your new journey!

Today is day 4 for me and I think my hardest yet. I can smell everything. Even ketchup smells good to me. How long are you on the liquids?

Until the surgery on 03/06/13 same as you.

Oh o.k. I see that in your siggy now, duh. food deprivation, lol

Good thing is...at the end of your pre-op diet, you will feel like a freaking superhero because you did it. Promise.

After day 4 it gets easier. Looking back I can't believe i made it through. So glad I did though. I'm 4 1/2 months out and I'm 62 lbs down. Boo yah!

You can do it. This is the beginning to your success story!

Cannot wait until this is me. Love this journey and I refuse to turn around

I am on day 4 and feeling little better. My doc rx 2 Protein Shakes and low-fat, low-carb meal at night. Not my favorite way of eating but I know I have to get used to eating a whole lot less. Good luck to you. I'm rooting for all of us.
