Day 1

Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.

Good luck! You can do it!!

Good luck - you will get through it. Pre-op is very difficult but so worth it, believe me! My pre-op was two weeks long and I saw so many changes in myself I can see why the surgeon required it.

I just got surgery on Tuesday and my pre op made a huge difference in how I am handling my post op eating!! I am happy I had those two (some days excruciating ) weeks of Liquid Protein Only... Focus and mind over matter I have to say got me through every day trying to focus on the big Skinny Picture!

I just got home from the wedding. I am so proud of myself!! I had a piece of chicken breast and a bottle of Water. I left before they served cake.

Wow! How long does the pre-op diet usually last? I see different responses so I suppose it depends on the surgeon. I thought it was like 3 days. Yes, that will definitely be tough!

My preop diet was a week of low carb high Protein. All dr seem to do something a little different.

Lots of variation based on doctor - I have seen it range from none at all to 3-4 weeks. There is also variation on what the pre op diet consists of.

My pre-op diet is 2 weeks.

I was told if my BMI is above 50 still I will have a 3 week pre op diet. I am working as hard as I can doing a modified version of the diet to get below a BMI of 50! I started at a BMI of 55 and I am at a BMI of 52 right now

Keep working at it. You can do it!

Day 2 went well and i actually got some rest last night.

Today is day 3 and my stomach is confused! it's making all sorts of sounds. LOL I had a Protein shake for Breakfast and I've been sipping on Isopure. I'm finding it hard to focus without food.

Stay strong. Whenever you feel hungry, drink! It will get better.

I couldn't agree with you more Royalrags ~ It was hell going through those two weeks, but now that I am 3 weeks post op I see why the surgeon requires it. My mental attachment to food is gone, I look at it in an all different way. This week I started on soft phase of food and boy am I enjoying it, but it doesn't take much to fill me up and give that feeling of satisfaction. How are you doing so far post-op?
