Survival skills for the 14 day pre-op diet

[holliebug13 1]

My surgery date is November 8 and I only have to do a liquid diet for 48 hours before my surgery. Wonder why mine is so short compared to everyone else?

I have no pre-op or post-op liquid diet. Just high Protein and low carb a week before. Every surgeon is different. And I am going to a Center of Excellence Bariatric Center, so I'm trusting what they tell me to do!

Day 10 of 14.

Today and tomorrow are the last two where I can have shakes, lettuce and lean Protein. Then it's three days of clear liquid. Down about a lb a day on this pre op. how's everyone doing on their pre op???

Day 13 of 21. I've gone crazy. Ive also lost 11 lbs. I have cheated twice! This is really hard. I'm obsessing about food, and lashing out at people. I'm having crazy dreams where I put hands on people. This is the last bit of evidence that I am a food addict and I cannot do this alone. Good luck everyone! Please pray for me.

Yeah, I have to admit I have been a lot more cranky they usual. I snap at people as an impulse then have to apologize lol but I'm hoping it will get better and my habits change with time.

I have been on Clear liquids and 3 shakes a day since last monday. I am feeling like I might end up on the front page of the newspaper for committing murder! Thursday cant come quick enough.

You guys give me such good advice! I am glad I found this place before my journey! I am set for my first consult with the doc on the 11th of November. I am hoping this will be a quick journey. . . I hate the food addiction! Its worse than beong hooked on meth (which I was) that was very easy compared to food! Good luck everyone.. keep up the postings too!

To those of you who feel like wrapping your hands around someone's neck.. I'm praying for you

Hi Chris

I have Dr Rantis and have surgical date one week after you. I just started the shakes this weekend and they aren't as bad as some I have had on fasting diets. Looking forward to surgery and I would love to hear how you are doing as the procedure progresses.
