Pre- Op Diet

[wantingtolivehealthy 2]

Started my pre-op diet Tuesday, down 8 lbs. Its not to bad, but I find myself watching the clock waiting to eat again. The hospital called for pre-registration, started to have an anxiety attack. I know this is the right decision, but I'm so afraid of failing again. As the 9th approaches I feel my anxiety rising. Anyone one else with the same feeling?

Happy for you that your surgery is soon. I have to wait until June 19. And I'm having anxiety about it but it's totally normal!! We are embarking on a journey different than the journey we've been on! It's normal to feel this way.

What does your pre diet consist of and how many calories?

Thank you for the encouraging words. My pre-op diet is 850-900 calories, 80 - 90 grams of Protein.

Breakfast is dry Cereal, oatmeal or microwave eggs

morning snack is a liquid drink

lunch is Soup

afternoon snack is like a Protein candy bar

dinner a microwave meal

evening snack is salty chips/pretzels

Breakfast and dinner are the worst. But I am loosing weight on it, so thats good.

Good luck to you on your journey

Are you exercising at all? My daughter and son-in-law brought over their Wii Fit and want me to use it. I guess I should try it. It looks like fun.
