Well day 5 of my pre op was NOT a good day!! I mean I didn't cheat or anything but my toe was hurting for about 3 days went to urgent care and they said it was infected and ingrown .. the bad part about that is that it could cancel my surgery because of the infection. I'm so upset right now .. I've cried once but I really could just cry again , bummer .

I'm so sorry that's happening right now! I know it must be super stressful to worry that surgery might be cancelled while trying to stay on the preop diet in case it's not. But how awesome that the stress has not caused you to get off track with the diet! I think that's a really great thing you should be proud of. I really hope your toe gets better & surgery isn't cancelled...please keep us posted. :)

Did you get some antibiotics? Everything will probably be okay, I had a terrible cold and ear infection while in my pre op diet I thought for sure I would be post poned but I was not. Everyting turned out okay. Just take your meds and hang in there.

      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.
