Pre-Op Diet

[Caroline G 25]

So this is day 5 out of 14 of my liquid diet. I also can have a light meal, 2 fruits and 1 starch although I have only had the starch once and a fruit once to try to keep the carbs down although I accidentally drank a little of my daughter's regular lemonade until I realized it was not my crystal light. I don't mind this diet at all. I don't want to do it gor the rest of my life, but it does make decisions of what to eat and self-control easier when I think about the weight I need to lose and that I do not want to mess anything up so I can't have my surgery. I am a little hungry at times but it is not that bad and does go away. It is not as bad as when I was on Weight Watchers and worrying how I can do this for the rest of my life. This feels just temporary because once i have the sleeve, I will have the restriction from that to help me. And it is very motivating to have lost 7 1/2 pounds in 4 days and makes me hopeful for the next few days. I would like to lose about 5 1/2 more by surgery. It would be nice to lose more but I am trying to be realistic.

I am on Pre op diet day 2....I wake up each morning and say today will be the fattest day I will ever be for the rest of my life. That gives me the motivation to be strong.
