3 week pre op diet

[ElliottWasHere 41]

I had it set in my mind that I would do a two week diet but my doctor's office called and told me it would be a 3 week diet. I think i'm going to die, ok..i'm being dramatic but I have never heard of a 3 week pre op diet. Have any of you done or heard of that?

Three weeks? Kinda sucky but yes I've heard if it.

I've seen a person or two have to do four weeks!!

OMG I've even seen one or two people have to do three weeks of just plain milk!! 0_o

See it can always get worse

Lol!! Yes! Good point!

Just remember the hardships you will go through the next months or so will be so worth it!

A year from now your whole life will have changed for the better

I am in the same boat. I am on day 2 of my three week pre-op. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. I hope it will get easier as the days go on.

I had 2 weeks before surgery and then 4 weeks post! It sucked ass. I cried and was angry and very depressed!

My husband had to do four weeks. Purpose is to shrink the liver since they have have to up behind it to do the surgery. So as hard as it may be stick to the diet.

A lot of the amount of weeks depends on how heavy you are. The smaller the liver the better off you are

I start my pre-op diet Jan 2nd. Mine isn't all liquid like a lot I have read. I am supposed to have Breakfast and lunch Protein Shakes and dinner of lean Protein, veggies, and a small starch (brown rice) with 3 snack of Protein Bars. I am totally going out for a nice filet mignon sometime this week and some spaghetti.

I start mine on the first. My diet is like yours thankfully! We must be having surgery close to the same day. Mine is the 14th of Jan.

Yes I am scheduled for Jan 15th. I'm so glad not to have the all liquid diet. I'd be a hot mess.

I am on day 7 of my pre op diet. 1 more week to go! I am on full liquids. I'm not really craving food anymore. Just pretty weak and tired. I have lost 10 pounds though! I didn't think it was possible for me to lose weight! Hence the reason i am having surgery....

_{I'm actually looking forward to the pre-op diet. I want to lose some weight before surgery so I am a bit ahead of the game. Am I weird?}
