Pre op diet

[alrsr28 7]

Start my pre op diet on Monday. Does anyone have any advise??

Keep the bad stuff out of the house or out of sight. Drink a ton of Water or un sweet tea. I got green tea that I sip on all day to keep my hungar away. Focus on the prize. Also cut your portions way down. I stared using my children's plates and bowls for my meals. It really helped me.

Meals? You get Meals?? I just finished day 7 of a 3 week pre op diet. I get 4 shakes a day and IF I'm still hungry (IF!!) I can have a dry salad. I am losing my mind! I'm being a little dramatic, but this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Harder than quitting smoking. Harder than quitting alcohol. I know, I'm not being very encouraging. It's just been really rough. 2 more weeks of this seems so long!!!! Pray for me, people!!!

Yeah per my preop I get one small meal for supper wich I have been using on a small portion of grilled chicken salad. But yeah its all shakes and Water from there.

Thx everyone. I get one small meal a day and 3 shakes and Water from here.

The best advice i can give is to space out your Protein even throughout the day... Every 3 hours, it really helps curb hunger.

I am here for you and I will totally pray for you right along with myself!!! God knows I need. I'm doing better now that it's day 4, but whose counting

Meals..wow! Mine was 5 shake per day..that was it. Did it for 15 days. First 5 days sucked, but made it threw and didn't slip or cheat once.

I'm not required to do one but plan to go to all liquids the week prior to Nov 6 and just cut back a lot this week.

Day 2 in the books for me.. Isnt going that bad. Do i miss food, of course but i get 5 shakes and drink one every 3 hours. No detox symptoms i stopped caffeine 4 weeks ago...

Why do they make you do a pre-op diet?? Does anyone know? I wasn't required to do that and I'm curious.

[unbesleevable1 420]

They say it is to shrink your liver, which somehow happens by losing 10-20lbs really fast. I have no idea if it actually works. From the research it seems there is no substantiated research that it improves outcomes, or decreases complications.
