Pre op diet starts today!

[JessicaAnn 564]

And im already hungry with a headache. I think it's completely mental, because its only 8am and I never eat this early normally! Is going to be a rough 2 weeks! 4 shakes a day plus Clear Liquids. I'm going to prove to myself that I can have will power, since I've never been able to stick to a diet before! I'm nervous!

Good Luck! The first 3 days are the hardest, after that you'll be fine...

Remember...you can do this!

Thanks you! It's so hard being a stay at home mom and cooking for my family and kids all day and I can't touch it! Lol

Today is day 4 for me. It has been so much harder than I thought it would be... and I did a pre- pre-op diet to try to prepare. I finally crawled out of bed last night, after spending 3 days in bed sleeping and whining. I am up today and feel better.

The key for me has been, not getting too hungry. If I feel at all hungry, I will eat sf Jello, popsicles, cup of broth and Protein shakes. My doctor lets me have green veggies too... so I am squeezing in a green salad too. I feel like I am eating all day... but I am just trying to get through these next 11 days.

Good luck to you!

Thanks! I wish I could stay in bed . I have a feeling my kids and husband aren't going to like me the next few days lol! I didn't prepare very well, I only have crystal light, shakes, and broth in the house. I'll have to make some Jello and buy Popsicles.

Good luck to you too!

The other thing to remind yourself is that staying on the pre-op diet and following it strictly will make your surgery and recovery better. It's helping 'shrink' your liver which helps the surgeon have better access to your stomach;) YOU CAN DO IT! Mind over matter! I can say this because I haven't done mine yet-Ha! I believe you can do it! It's only 2 weeks of the 52 in the year! Remind me of these things when I am on my pre-op

I'm a stay at home Mom too. I start my liquid diet on Friday. I'm sure it's going to be tough having to cook for my family and not being able to have any. Good luck! I hope I'm not too grouchy during the ten day liquid diet

You can do it! I am on day 3, yesterday really sucked but today is a little easier BUT I have had NO weight loss yet... That is a little discouraging.

Yea I've been weighing myself every single time I go to the bathroom. I have gained 1.5 lbs today! But I've also had about 80-100 oz of fluids today.
