So My Surgery Is In 5 Days



Recommended Posts

On it now. My surgery is Wed. This is my 8th day. I am so thirsty tonight for some reason. Can't get enough to drink. The only thing that keeps me going is this web site and another that I read all the time. The good stories make me think I can do this because of the light at the end. We will get through this and we will make it to surgery and we will get through the surgery. We will heal and by next year we will be able to eat but just not too much. Hang in there. Everyone says it will get better. Keep in touch.

I'm having surgery on Wed also! And i also feel like the only reason I've been able to do this diet is because of that light at the end! Good luck.

My surgery is Wednesday too. I really dislike the liquid diet also. I just keep thinking about the end results and it helps get me through. Also looking at some pics of myself is a fantastic motivator! We can do it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
