Cassiecarson 7 Posted April 1, 2014 Yes.. I have started the dreaded pre op. The worst part has been the caffeine headaches. First couple of days were awful but I'm making it. I haven't had any caffeine and I think that has been the worst. However I was told to drink lots of Fluid so I believe that has helped. I also started walking an hour a day just to fill my lungs and pump my heart. I know my body is saying why are you punishing me lol. Anyways it will all be good in the end!

O-Town Body Rock 148 Posted April 1, 2014 That's wonderful then! My appetite comes and goes. After work is the hardest. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize Tried to start my pre-op a day early yesterday and all was good until I got home after work. I stopped at fast food joint and gobbled a #2 meal. What's funny is that it made me sick to eat it; like my body was rejecting it and saying "no don't eat that crap" with every bite. My husband was like "see that's what u get"!

rhoste 21 Posted April 1, 2014 I also was STARVED after a day at work running around and then not prepared enough with something to eat, also got fast food, but was a chicken salad at Wendy's ... Oh well, wiser today, and am more prepared. The good news is the coffee headaches are almost gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rosan100 1 Posted April 6, 2014 @ db1982 What is the pre op diet you're following? I would like to start a 7 day now and follow that with the 3 day yogurt and Water diet that is required by my doctor. I think it will help me get into the right mindset and start breaking bad habits! Try to relax and not worry so much, I know the plane missing is scary but your chances of being in a airplane crash is so unlikely, you are so much more likely to be in a car accident. I have flown a lot and never even had a scare. You will be fine, you will get through this and start your new healthy life! We'll all be thinking about you, stay in touch, we're all here to support one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
