MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted December 15, 2013 Today was day three of my 2 week liquid pre surgery diet. I debated on whether I should go to the Christmas party for my work but decided to go ahead and go. As I expected there was food everywhere and I had a glass of diet coke. Yea me!! Now I'm going to just go to bed and try not to think about being hungry. 6 chasingadream, terrydumont46, ☠carolinagirl☠ and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leepers 1,195 Posted December 15, 2013 Yep. I know how ya feel. I hosted a party at my house last night and actually cooked food I can't eat. I'm on my fourth day of preop. I have times of raging hunger, but generally it hasn't been too bad. Then I went to a party tonight and just ate off the veggie tray. Everyone was eating pizza. My hubby is doing the preop diet with me to show his support. I don't know if he's gonna make it though, he's having a hard time.lol. 5 Bandista, MistyfortheMountain, chasingadream and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegudren 156 Posted December 15, 2013 Is your pre op ALL liquid? Mine is 2 Protein Shakes Snacks and one healthy meal. No carbs. No fat. High Protein. 3 MistyfortheMountain, ☠carolinagirl☠ and Leepers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chasingadream 1,311 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Hang in there....it sucks big time but you can get through it...and will feel so much better (physically&mentally) afterwards....I had 2 weeks ALL liquid pre-op and ALL liquid 2 weeks post-op....so I understand! It gives you a new mindset when you make it through this period (and I didn't cheat once---I was THAT determined to make that time and the surgery a success.) It is tough BUT DOABLE!!

MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support. Most people in my world don't know I'm having surgery. The people I work directly with I told I was doing a doctor supervised diet since I started bringing Protein shakes for lunch. So there was no one except my husband that I could brag to about not eating and he really has no clue what it's like to diet. Yes my pre op is clear liquid only. Three Protein Shakes and only clear liquid daily. I'm not even allowed the sf Jello or popsicles. This goes for 2 weeks. This is my 4th day and I haven't cheated yet. I'm holding out for Christmas day. My surgery is the 27th so I'm planning on doing my cheating on Christmas Day with a little turkey and green bean casserole. I'm thinking by then even a few bites will be like heaven! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted December 15, 2013 I had a two-week liquid pre-op diet, too -- got so much easier after first days. Good luck to you. The 27th will be here soon. What a great gift you are giving yourself. Here's to all our dreams realized in 2014! 3 chasingadream, ☠carolinagirl☠ and MistyfortheMountain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LI Lady 64 Posted December 15, 2013 You're doing great!!! Keep it up! Just remember you are preparing your body for surgery and you want to be as healthy as you possibly can be going into the procedure. I am on day 4, but I am allowed a bit more than you. I think it is a bigger mental challenge than physical challenge. 2 chasingadream and MistyfortheMountain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted December 16, 2013 Well, another day done without cheating. I went to my local Chinese take out this afternoon and bought 2 quarts of wonton Soup without the won tons. It is so much better than the canned broth. That or my taste buds have starved to death! 2 Leepers and chasingadream reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leepers 1,195 Posted December 16, 2013 Out of curiosity, Misty, what kind of Protein Shakes are you drinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted December 16, 2013 I'm drinking Premium Protein from Sam's Club. They have 160 calories, 5 carbs, 1g of sugar and 30g of protein. My doctor had shakes he wanted me to buy but these actually had better stats than his so he let me use them instead. 1 Leepers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leepers 1,195 Posted December 16, 2013 powder or pre-made bottles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted December 16, 2013 Pre-made bottles. They come in chocolate and vanilla. I don't think they are too bad. The chocolate tastes like sf pudding cups and the vanilla is a little thicker and very vanilla. I like them. Although I would rather not have them for EVERY meal!
