Pre Op Diet

[marta 8]

Today was day 1 of my pre op diet, my surgery is nov 8. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had a total of 480 calories today, tomorrow I'm going to walk walk walk. I feel sad and not sure why I don't have a very good support system here at home!

It gets easier as days go by. My hardest days where the first and second after that I'm good. I'm on Optifast for two weeks and two days then surgery. You will be fine just try your best

Good luck on your pre-op diet. Be your own support system and you have us here on RNY good luck.

Actually it gets harder.. The first days you are cool then you panic & wanna get the wholekitchen lmbo then after 7 days you hit your self in the butt & you get used to it & don't want to eat the entire kitchen.

Marta, I hope it gets better. Our surgery dates are the same but I only have a 7 day Pre op diet. I am more worried about doing well on that than how I will do after. Great idea to walk. I feel I may need to sleep through most of mine to make it. Keep us posted on how you are doing. This is a great support place.

Today starts my two week pre op diet. Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch then meat and non starch vege for dinner. I think mine isn't as bad as some. So far today two shakes in. Feel bit nauseous and kinda down. The sun is shining here in Indy I need to go sit in the sun.

Good luck to us all these next couple of weeks. Glad I have you guys to come to. Not sure anybody else would really understand what we are going through. Even if they are supportive they just can't know like we do.

Hugs to all

Thanks everyone for the responses. I woke better this morning, decided my pity party was a drag Lol. I told myself I would only weigh myself once a week but I just had to see so I lost 4 Lbs in 2 days! I walked today, did my regular yoga routine and got some resistance bands to try out. I'm really not that hungry, but I did cheat and have a nonfat 90 Cal low sugar yogurt, it was heavenly.
