Pre-op Starving on Pre-op

[pjackson0523 158]

No contract here.

No contract here either. I am soooo hungry right now! Grrr. So glad u all feel my pain and I can complain here

[pjackson0523 158]

Well, just got call from my doctor's office. There was a problem with my scheduling. I've been bumped to the 21st.

That is awful I'm sorry. Does that mean they will change when you have to start your diet?

[pjackson0523 158]

Yes. Not till next Monday. But, I think I will try to continue, just not quite as strict this week.

I did not have to sign a contract and I only have to do a week of liquid. Little stressed that I am doing it without the final approval from insurance but I don't want to take the chance that the approval comes and I didn't start. Ready for next Monday to be over and start the healing process.

I did not but I did have to sign that I would attend 3 support group meetings at their group on specific dates & that I would attend follow up visits.

I only have a week of liquids bc I lost all the way thru my "wait"

I'm heading out for PB2 tonight.

I really dislike soy & was told almond & coconut which I like aren't approved. Total BS if you ask me.

I think I may re-write my pre-op diet bc it's my body & I am down #4 in 5 days.

Reaching the point that I don't have any f$&@'s to give right now.

allons-y

Mine told me the same thing about everything else but soy and cows milk. Bummed for sure but I'm so used to it because I've got a 4year old that can only have soy.

Wish there were more alternatives for us lactose intolerant people.

That will get better. LOTS of green tea, my friends, LOTS of green tea!

I don't drink tea - I'm a coffee gal - have been looking for some to try. Any suggestions?

[Melissa1234 69]

"I don't have any f&$ks to give" that made me lol. That's about how I feel right now.

Me too. So miserable and I know it for the best but I feel like crying.

I tried Chike Protein shakes, I got the variety pack and they have a coffee one. I'm not a coffee drinker but that could be an option that would satisfy your coffee craving and Protein intake.

Started my pre-op liquid diet today as well. Anyone knowledgeable about the popsicles?

I was told sugar free Popsicles and Jello are un limited pre op

[mage54 28]

My nutritionist said since they are 15 calories each (even being sugar free Popsicles) that I could do two Popsicles and two sugar free Jellos a day. Your dr may very well say differently. Couldn't hurt to call and ask.

bleh i started my preop yesterday as well. Im so hungry right now! i had 5 shakes yesterday and 1 cup of cut up red bell pepper. I had the pepper while i cooked dinner for my family. i think that was the hardest part yesterday, b/c as im cooking im so tempted to taste. Especially those creamy mashed potatoes i made. Today im gonna try to add in the sf Jello. what sucks is that i dont even have a date yet for the surgery. the coordinator said she should know within 2 weeks.
