Disco 56 Posted June 19, 2013 i'm having mine on June 25th as well :-) I started my week of pre-op and I feel like I am STARVING! LOL (i know it's mental... and I know this is soooooo worth it.) Im excited and a little scared too, but I try to put it out of my mind... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
witzend 8 Posted June 20, 2013 I'm the 25th, too. My doc doesn't do a pre-op diet. Just asks that I not gain a whole lot between my consult and the surgery. Had a 4 hour pre-op, hospital registration meeting yesterday. They bring in all the folks scheduled for a given week at the same time. Then they had a taste test of some high Protein items, Vitamins, etc. I didn't think I was nervous, but I'm not sleeping and wanting to eat anything I see, which tells me I am. Every so often I just think "what the heck am I doing!!" But I still believe its the right decision. So glad to have fellow sleevers to talk to!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ytsepam 15 Posted July 5, 2013 I had surgery on 6/25 as well. Still on the liquid postop diet. Can't wait until I can chew something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
witzend 8 Posted July 5, 2013 I hear you about chewing!! I find myself getting so confused about what I can and can't have at this point. Living on green tea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco 56 Posted July 5, 2013 I am soooooo sick of this flippin liquid mess!! Arrrrgh!!! It feels like I've been "drinking" something and not "chewing" something for forevvvvvvver!!!!! I find myself still "desiring" unhealthy stuff though ... ( and truly realize the WHOLE world revolves around food...... That I CAN'T have!!!????). Ready to get to soft foods sooo badly, but in the meantime trying to figure out healthier alternatives & put that food devil -->????, that sits on my shoulder, the heck OFF!! Pray for me y'all ..... Yesterday was TERRIBLE..... Felt like crying as everyone ate delicious food for the 4th.*le sigh* 1 gourmetone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
witzend 8 Posted July 6, 2013 Every time I try anything thicker than Clear Liquids it hurts. Guess my tummy is still swollen and I'm asking too much of it by trying full liquids. Not sure which is worse - real hunger or head hunger! Trying to be gentle with myself and not get discouraged. 1 gourmetone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
