Pre Surgery diet tomorrow

((Vent))

I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad. Today I took my hubby to Breakfast for Fathers Day. I'm sure we will be eating out for dinner.

Prior to this weekend I've lost a total of 15 pounds. Tomorrow is the first day of my preop diet. BIG SIGH. I've been overweight 20+ years. I should be able to do 7 days without cheating. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Time to go buy some broth and sf Jello.

I know it is worth the struggle!

I so with you...I start my preop on Tuesday. Stocked up on sf Jello, Popsicles and crystal lite. Thinking positive

i hear ya both! i am on day 7 of my pre-op (my doc requires 14 days) and i won't lie, it is hard.

i have had a couple small slips but still am managing to lose some pretty good numbers (-8.5 today).

my surgeon says pre-op is way harder than post op because you still have this huge stomach just sitting there, producing hormone and waiting to be filled.

my biggest piece of advice is to get your Protein shakes in faithfully. i have noted that on the days i have them on schedule, i have very slight hunger and can manage. i also mix mine with extra milk for more Protein.

it's hard but SO worth it. good luck to both!

I start my diet tomorrow. Not looking forward to it but know it is something I must do. Going to get Jello and popsicles tomorrow. I just hope I will remember all the rules after surgery, sip not gulp, Protein first, etc.

We r all worth it and courageous for doing this.
