I'm Not Hungry On The Pre-Op Diet.

[Argnewcan 3]

Day 8 of the pre-op diet and I am not hungry at all. Very weird. Today I drank a Vitamin Water Zero and a RockStar no calorie but ate nothing until dinner. Then I had 3 ounces chicken and some veggies as directed.

I've already had to toss my favorite jeans because they were falling down. If this keeps up, I will be buying new pants every two weeks. It's a nice problem to have but hard to absorb mentally.

My doctor said my goal weight was 105 at 5 feet tall. No one weighs 105 in my universe!

I am also "nesting" like pregnant women do. This house is going to be so clean and tidy!

Wednesday is the big day. Can't weight, umm wait! Freudian typing!

I can relate to the tidiness, I haven't even started my pre-op diet yet, but I have been preparing things in the house. I want recovery to go smoothly and want to focus on me and not on things being out of place or disorganized. I do not have a goal yet, have to wait and see what the doctor says.

Glad you are handling your pre-op diet easily. I will be starting mine in about 2 weeks, and I am not sure how well I will do. My diet will be a complete liquid diet for two weeks. I am so dreading it.

Keep up all the great work you are doing, and I hope Wednesday moves smoothly for you and that you have a speedy recovery. You will be in my thoughts. Keep us updated on how you are doing. Best Wishes.

I'm on day 4 of the Optifast diet before surgery, today is better then yesterday. I broke down yesterday and had an egg, all these shakes and Soups and liquids, last night my hunger was alittle too much. but I have heard the third and 4th days are usually the worse. My understanding is that this Optifast is used to put my body in a state of ketosis, which burns fat rather then carbs and in turn shrinks the liver to make surgery easier.

today I am not feeling as hugry but I can def still feel it bitting at my heels, hopefully it will get easier

best of luck to you!!
