apricot1119 105 Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks Robin. So far the diet isn't too bad. But I am trying to stay calm. Excited nervous...feel a little nuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aquaman3 0 Posted June 14, 2012 I remember when i was at the point of my pre op diet. I was soooo nervous, and considered not following through. As time got closer to my surgery date, i felt less nervous and more excited. Don't get discouraged. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bubbachubbs 4 Posted June 14, 2012 For me I realized it was my body detoxifying. I quit alcohol, soda, coffee, and fast food right before my pre-op diet. After a few days it will seem like no big deal. And it is worth it! I have lost 100 pounds since February 28th and I couldn't have done it without the surgery or the pre-op/post-op diet. Good Luck!

DuranFan1969 119 Posted June 14, 2012 The pre-op diet can seem a bit of an intimidating challenge, but it can be done! I would highly suggest you get as much variety in as your doctor's plan allows you too. I thought several times about cheating a bit, but I kept reminding myself that if I slip up and my liver isn't shrunk enough that they would have to close me up and not do the surgery. That was all the incentive I needed! It'll get easier - just make sure you're having a little something every 2 hours and stay away from people who have really good smelling food.

robin33 71 Posted June 15, 2012 Ok my last day of food before preop was a lunch date with my friend at olive garden and dinner with my hubby at the Mexican place with that good ole salsa. Followed by a trip to Walmart to get my food to start preop tomorrow. Here we go!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
