Pre-Op Diet Today!

[Melissa D 34]

I was so excited to start my pre-op diet today. I'm required to do the 3 day diet, but I wanted to do the 2 week diet (starting with Protein Shakes & salad). Am I crazy?? Maybe lol. I've had a horrible day today, everything went wrong and even though I adjusted my insulin pump, I still was low half the day & extremely grumpy. It doesn't help that I have a bunch of finals to study for. Stress city!!!

Well I guess your surgery is tomorrow so its a little late to encourage you on your preop diet lol. But good luck tomorrow and I hope everything goes well.

Nope, my surgery isn't until May 15th! My pre-op diet is going just fine now. I'm still fairly fatigued, but I'm dealing with it okay. I'm not especially hungry although I am getting pretty tired of lettuce and I'm not finishing my salad in the evening. I've lost 4.5 pounds as of this morning, so it's going well.

You can change it up to raw spinich if you like it, with raw veggies. I alos put some protien on there, such as turkey or chicken. And drink lots of water! Good luck!!

Yes spinach is on the menu for tonight lol. I've been making themed salads - Southwest Steak salad, chicken Caesar Salad, Taco Salad and tonight is Spanish Salad (spinach, strawberries, chicken, sunflower seeds, feta cheese & raspberry vinaigrette). trying to keep it interesting

Home from hospital after being sleeve 7/10. Not much discomfort at all, no gas and tolerating liquids well. Sleepy, but very happy with surgical results. Taking no pain meds. Also, I am 64 yrs old so very happy with results.
