KatInFL 216 Posted July 18, 2013 Starting my Pre-Op diet today, so the countdown begins. So nervous and excited for this journey. Good luck! No lying, most of the pre-op diets suck..but surgery day will be here before you know it! Stay hydrated and see if you are allowed a Protein Shake or something with Protein to help ward off any potential headaches. ~Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoMoreDonuts 10 Posted July 18, 2013 I started yesterday too. So hungry today. And man, I drank so much, which equaled I peed so much :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luv2bslim 11 Posted July 19, 2013 I agree. The diet stinks and I lived in the bathroom today. One day down and six to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmyInOrlando 348 Posted July 19, 2013 I was told to do 7 days, but decided to do 14 days of liquids. I started yesterday also. So far, no headache, no hunger and down 3.4 pounds, overnight. Haven't given up caffeine yet and not looking forward to the withdrawal. I'll fight that battle next week. 1 tbrown9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luv2bslim 11 Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, the headaches are the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatInFL 216 Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, the headaches are the worst. I'm sorry...I had them, too. Remember to ask your doctor what you can take. I was advised no ibuprofen, only Tylenol in the days leading up to surgery. ~Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luv2bslim 11 Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks! I was told Tylenol, but it sure doesn't work as well as a Goody's powder. . Hopefully it will pass soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliebisme 10 Posted July 20, 2013 I started my pre-op diet today, too! Crystal Light, Atkins Advantage bars, hard-boiled egg and Protein Shakes and lots of bathroom visits. Was pretty hungry around 5:00pm. Thinking I'm OK now.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
