Pre surgery diet starts tomorrow

[kooks3003 41]

It is one month to my surgery tomorrow which means its shake time.. It's kinda of exciting to think there is only a month left of living in the hell of being over Weight with no hope..

Sonoma excited I will be able to start my life again and have energy and feel alive again.

I really need to write daily as I know liquid pre op diets are hard so I do need support.

But all worth it in the end.

YAY! I've been doing an 800 calorie VLCD since December 3rd and I'm currently on day 7 of my actual 21 day preop. I do get a "lean and green" meal (piece of lean Protein and a salad of greens)which is kind of nice. I DO know how it feels to do all liquids though as I have done that before (both with shakes and I once did a 30 day juice fast) The first few days are SO HARD, sometimes I would just go to bed rather than endure seeing food... but by day four or so you really start feeling better and stop being so hungry. AND, your body is very kind to you since there is a chemical response when you go very low carb and enter ketosis, that releases a chemical similar to the drug xtacy. This feeling often kicks in between days 3 and 7 and can last from several days to a few weeks!!! So DON'T cheat and eat carbs or you'll lose out on this natural high which can really help carry you through the process. I'm super excited for you. I think having a longer preop period is actually a very positive thing as it has really been helping me feel much more mentally prepared for this surgery!

Thanks. It all is very exciting! I can have a salad and grilled chicken at night but I will see how I go cause It cost alot to keep buying portions of chicken and salad every couple of days. I might do Soups for dinner to brake it up.

Only a month till surgery it's so exciting and the thought of if I cheat and don't loose enough before that I will have to push surgery back kinda scares me into staying on track lol

Good luck! You will do great. First three days are the struggle. Only because you want your other foods.
