Hi all, I'm scheduled for December 12, I'm really really struggling with the pre op diet!!! I'm supposed to be on it for 3 weeks but just can't stick to it anyone with me??

Depends on what you mean by "with you".

I am with you, it's hard. But I felt (vis my research) that it was pretty important.

Do it!

It is very hard but use this time to work on discipline. It will be the same discipline needed to keep the weight off. Remember this isn't a quick fix it's a change of lifestyle for us. Find healthy "cheats" if you need to just have something extra. Mine is sugar free Jello or pudding. I'm not on full liquids but I'm on a 1000 calorie diet for since last Friday. My surgery is Wednesday. I do two Protein Shakes and a small meal but prior to the start of the pre-op diet I put myself on a modification so that the change wouldn't be a complete shock. I started with one Protein Shake a light lunch then dinner. I think that has helped me prepare for this. I wish you the best with your preparation and just keep the bigger picture in mind. You can do this!! Good luck =)

Thank u x I suppose I'm like everyone else here, and no different. The headaches I went through were unbearable. I suppose after the surgery it will be easier x

Just remember we haven't been good to our bodies and now that we are trying to do something about that it wants to revolt but we alone only have the power to control us. Stay positive and ask for help if you need it.
