candyce 14 Posted September 16, 2012 I cant seem to not be starving on this pre op diet.. any suggestions.. I'm trying so hard no to graze I want to eat though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex&zsmom 33 Posted September 16, 2012 Pre-op was definitely the worst, and mine was only two days! I barely made it. When I see what others have to do, I'm in awe. The best I can offer is that you'll never feel this way again! Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex&zsmom 33 Posted September 16, 2012 I was really concerned that I would feel like that forever, but as soon as you go under, it really is over! It feels sort of miraculous. And like I said, I almost gave up in the two days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my time 9 Posted September 16, 2012 Starting my second week. Everyone told me if I made it to day 3 I would be OK. Not exactly. This is tough. This weekend I have tried hard to stay busy so to keep my mind off of food. Celery is saving me!!! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex&zsmom 33 Posted September 16, 2012 Are you sure you can have Celery already? That seems a little rough for our unhealed stomachs. My hunger didn't completely go away until this week-week 4. Protein is what keeps me going.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ready4success 380 Posted September 16, 2012 Starting my second week. Everyone told me if I made it to day 3 I would be OK. Not exactly. This is tough. This weekend I have tried hard to stay busy so to keep my mind off of food. Celery is saving me!!! Good luck. I just kept eating something. I went from one thing to the next with 3 Protein Shakes a day, and sf pospsicles, and low sodium broths were a free for all. I still lost and my liver was fine.

SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted September 17, 2012 I started preop this am. 15 days. I have to say it is challenging at best. Day 1 morning has been okay. I am sure day 4, my feelings will be a bit different. I told our Nanny this AM that she only needed to prepare Soups. She looked at me like I was crazy. Mind you, this is not the 1st time we have had this convo! I guess it is a bit much to understand unless u are going through it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunsetblvd68 16 Posted September 17, 2012 I started my liquid diet today...My surgeon said 3 days before surgery is plenty of time to shrink the liver before surgery!! 15 days seems like a lot!!
