Day TWO of pre-op and :(

[Sofla Kate 16]

I am on day TWO of preop liquid diet and just ate 4 skittles (my kids). What is my problem? How am I ever going to be successful post op? Will I need to be sedated for 2 weeks so as not to cheat?? I just feel deprived and sneak in a few cheats here and there, hence the reason I am overweight and never successful with dieting!

I just got somewhat reamed out by my nutritionist during our weekly pre-op check in. Botton line is the preop is to shrink your liver and make this a safer surgery. Not following the diet is reason to move the surgery. Losing weight before hand makes it safer. I screwed around food wise for too many years to screw up this relatively short period of time that is going to allow me to get my life back.

I am on day 2 of pre op diet and I was feeling very sick to my stomach from all the Protein shakes. So, instead of totally falling off the wagon, I had 3 deli slices of turkey. It settled my stomach and I finished the day on a good note.

I am looking forward to surgery next Wednesday.

Good Luck and hang in there.

Oh, and I do find that different herbal teas help fill the void. Caffeine free like peppermint tea is really nice to sip in the evening. I'm becoming a bit of a tea fanatic. Being hot it's almost like fooling myself that it's food.< /p>

I was just reading a similar post and someone mentioned HOT stuff. The hot stuff is what got me through it as well. It seemed to satisfy me better.

My pre-op diet is just low carb not liquid, for 1 week only. Then reading the instructions said it took 10 days to show a change internally. So why am I only on it for one week then. Then I read some don't have a pre-op at all.

I don't get it. I'm afraid I'll mess this up

I totally relate to these posts. I am on day 10 of the pre op liquid diet and having a really hard time today. I only have today which is all most over, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday goes to all clears and then Wed is the day. I am on day two of my period and so extra emotional today. I went from so strong to extra weak!!! So frustrated.

Im on day 5 of my two week prop liquid diet... Then 3 weeks post op. for now hot broth is saving me. I rotate shakes, broth, Jello, and Protein Drinks like blitz or Isopure.< /p>

Also...pour ur chocolate shake in a mug and heat. The hot broth, herb teas and hot chocolate shakes are comforting. Hang in there. We will make it!

Sry.. One more thing... I think the trick is to not wait too long to have something... If i get too hungry, it is soooo hard to be good!

[betsyann07 21]

I agree with everyone! This is all so hard! I want anything but the shakes, sf Jello, Decaf coffee/tea and broth I've been eating. I also agree that hot stuff is a saving grace! It's gonna be so much better afterwards when I'm not hungry so much of the time!
