Day 5 of preop diet! Made it through Thanksgiving with chicken broth and a little bit of turkey in it. Doc said I could! Just having some tummy issues. Anyone else? Is it normal?

I'm on day 10 of my pre op diet and have had stomach issues the whole time. Not sure if it's normal ...

That doesn't sound good! Anything terrible or just different?

Not to be tmi but when I go it is loose.

Well u guys, I assume since if all ur puttn in is liquids then all u start getting out is liquid or loose stools. Bc although its to shrink the liver, ur body has probably cleaned out most if not all of the backed up stool, and bc of increased liquids, its going to b soft. Imo, I don't think its anything to worry over. HEY, Andrew, how's the rash fairing, better? Well gl all and Happy December to the group and I look forward to our successful stories soon to come!! What a Christmas present:))

Worried!

My surgery is on December 3rd and I just started feeling the symptoms of a cold. Do you think they will cancel?

I think you need to call your dr... Mine said that if I was under the weather to let them know ASAP so they can call in antibiotics or whatever and not cancel.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
