hopeful2loose2014 21 Posted April 9, 2014 Started my pre-op 2 week diet and man o man I'm struggling. First off the Bariatric Advantage banana is not so hot...ok but not great.. 2nd, I have the watery poops (yuckkkkkkkkkkk)... and it's horrible... Is this normal to have diarrhea like that, doesn't it cause dehydration? 3rd, I'm STARVINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.. I mean like really really hungry. Why do some doctors not do 2 weeks and some don't.. I have never been told I have a fatty liver and I have had surgeries before (last one in Oct to have my gallbladder out). I don't know how I will make it through the next 14 days.. Helpppppppppppppppppp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScarlettL 12 Posted April 9, 2014 I am also SO STINKING HUNGRY!!! I'm on day 7 ish? The weight loss is definitely encouraging but yes - it stinks! (as does the poop). Try some perrier or palegrino fizzy Water - helps me feel fuller with the bubbles. Also - no carbination after surgery so better get it in now Hang in there! Remember - keep calm and drink protein!

Scylla 106 Posted April 9, 2014 I'm on day 15 of a 30 day sentence. It gets easier. Are you allowed to have anything besides the Protein drinks? I am allowed 4 Protein shakes per day, plus raw vegetables (no dips, dressings, etc.) Having the raw vegetables definitely makes it easier for me. I would totally miss chewing! I am surprised to hear that you had watery poops. Completely opposite effect with me! I've never had problems with Constipation before and it's pretty horrible! I am having to take Pericolace, which is a stool softener and a mild intestinal stimulant. 2 SliminDownThick and Zoey716 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimpossible80 25 Posted April 9, 2014 You can do it!! You are in the home stretch!! I started feeling less starved around day 4-5. I bought some herbal teas- some of them have great flavor and break up the monotony. Plus, warm liquids made me feel more satisfied for whatever reason! 1 BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melodica 64 Posted April 9, 2014 I started my diet today. Thankfully it's only a week, but I'm very restricted. I can only have Protein drinks, flavored Water, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and broth. I'm already starving! I completely feel your pain. I keep wondering how I'm going to make it through the next 6 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScarlettL 12 Posted April 9, 2014 Have you all discovered the Thai-Ginger flavored chicken broth (Swanson's)? Its AWESOME! And its spicy! Makes me drink it slower and the spice fools my mouth into thinking its more substantial than it is 5 beeteroo, katesuccess, hillgirly and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yolicious1 64 Posted April 9, 2014 I can honestly tell you that eventually it will get better. Keep drinking and stay busy. I'm on day 9. I hate this part with a passion, but I guess It's for our good. 1 Imanurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raychel74 22 Posted April 10, 2014 I had one of my Protein Shakes with soy milk yesterday & it was AMAZING! The soy made it thick and sweet, just like a milkshake. Try almond milk too. I think changing up your liquids helps. I also bought multiple flavors to mix it up! Good luck ladies! You got this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darneka1 20 Posted April 10, 2014 I am on the same boat!! I am starving...on top of it everyone is the office where I work is eating pizza today. It helps to see that I am not the only person struggling. I keep telling myself to see the end result and that it will be over soon enough. Just take one day at a time and don't look so much at the total number of days you have to do it. It can be overwhelming. 1 BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
