angelakay2 117 Posted June 3, 2012 I am on my 2nd day of the pre-op diet and I am absolutely miserable. I am soooooo hungry and feel weak! Any suggestions? My pre-op consists of 2 shakes, 2 cups of green veggies and 2 cups of chicken broth for the whole day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelakay2 117 Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks Amy!! Your surgery is tomorrow!!!! Are you sooooooo excited? They moved mine from the 4th to the 13th. I have a 10 year old and she was eating cheese puffs... I wanted to lick the cheese off of her fingers. hahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star1221 270 Posted June 3, 2012 sugar free Jello. Makes you think you're eating... Did your dr not allow that? That's the only thing I've seen that most doctors allow. If not, just drink lots of Water and lots of crystal light. Get several flavors to change up. You can use them after surgery too. Good luck. You got this. It's so worth it honey.

iegal 460 Posted June 4, 2012 I agree, that pre op diet (mine was for two weeks) was absolute torture. Wish I had a miracle for you, but I don't. The way I survived was simply on will power with the prize of VSG surgery. Each day was one day I lived for, that was it. Didn't look at the 10 days left or food I could not eat. Stay away from the lunch room, go to your car and back during breaks & lunch. Live in the bathtub with a book you always wanted to read. Diet is not only to reduce fatty liver but also to train you for the changes you will face after surgery. I know you can do this because I am the WORST patient ever and made it through. Hugs for encouragement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
