Last day and I am STARVING!



Recommended Posts

I don't know if it is my mind playing tricks on me or what. I did the pre-op diet for 10 days, mixing food with shakes and staying under 800 calories per day. I was hungry every day, but usually if I had a piece of beef Jerky, it was heavy enough to make me feel full for a few hours.

Tomorrow is my surgery and so I am on Clear liquids until 6pm. It's almost 1pm now and I am starving. My stomach won't stop growling, and I'm getting a headache.

I can't wait to get this over with because I am starting to freak out.

I felt that way when I first started the clear diet four days ago. By day two, I was fine. Don't worry. You will get through it. Just think about the finish line. Tomrorow you will be sleeved...and so will I!! I hope you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Tomorrow is the big day!! I am excited!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
