im STARVING!

[*Misty*Raine* 192]

So I started my preop diet on 7/5. I have to do it for 10 days. On 7/10, I have to have a filter put in. So at least that day I wont worry about food.

In the meantime.....im doing my 3 shakes and 64 oz Water. Can soneone tell me if I can have sf yogart? Im dyin here! Watched my family eat steak last night and chewed a whole pk of gum!!! Help!

sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, I am on day 7 and it's not easy keep your eye on the price one step at a time

I could kill for food lol

Check with your surgeon if you can have sugar free Popsicles or sugar free Jello before you have it. It will probably okay but I wouldn't do anything without asking.

Gum chewing is okay before surgery but never after. It will put air in your stomach and cause gas. I'm sure you were told this.

Good luck with your procedure.

Oh yeah! They told.me post op....never even buy gum. And I wont. I have a ton of sf yogart high in Protein for post op.... I just want one so bad I could chew my own arm off. Lol.

Lock yourself in a room with Netflix. The only hard part was when people were eating on camera. Watch war movies? lol

Sorry, I feel you, one million percent!

I'm on day 4 of the 14 day liquid diet. I'm surprised that it's not as bad as I thought. However, I'm allowed 3 shakes a day, 2-3 Snacks which are non-fat yogurt (reg or Greek), low fat cream Soups (8oz), sf pudding (4oz), sf hot cocoa and unlimited sf Jello, broth or boullion, v8 and 2-3 sf Popsicles daily. Along with my 64 oz of fluids. Just 3 shakes I'd be starved! I feel for you!!! Good luck!

Today I stuck my face into a bag of chips just to smell them, and you know they didn't smell that great lol

[pik 262]

I am on day 5 of 14. I would love to have some kind of food. For my diet, you are to have 4 shakes, a bar, and the Soup mix, so 6 products a day and 64 oz of Water.

Not happening. I am good to get in 12 oz of Water and today I had 3 shakes and the bar. No Soup.< /p>

We are allowed a small banana per day and sugar free popcsicles and Jello.

Today is day 8 for me, yup not getting easier. Last food I had was a week ago. I have been doing 3-4 shakes a day some sf Jello and a sf popsicle. Today I went and bough weight watches ice cream ( just wanted a change) but then thought about it and they sit in the freezer.. Sigh...

So day 4 wasnt easy. I actually chewed up a bite of chicken and spit it out just to have a "taste" of it. Thats horrible. Tomorrow is day 5 and Thursday I am having a filter placed to prevent blood clots. So as bad as this is gonna make me look.... I am honestly addicted to food. I have to have something in my body or I feel I am gonna rip someone's face off.

Please dont judge....I know I screwed up! Lol I'm beating myself up constantly for it. Its even made me question if I can really even be successful. depressed is being mild.

No worries, we won't judge you as we have all been there. When it comes time for my pre op diet, I am not going to eat dinner with my family, the solid food would just make me hungry and the temptation to cheat would be too high. Are you getting enough Protein? That would be my main concern, as Protein shakes should hold you for awhile if the Protein level is high enough and are you drinking enough of them?. A lot of what you are feeling (wanting to rip someone's face off..etc) is also your body's way of dealing with the food addiction, you are most likely going through withdrawals of not having sweets or carbs or whatever you are addicted too.

I remember in a WW meeting one time we talked about using the word "starving" or "starving to death". I know it sounds silly, but self-talk like that is harmful because it blows up the severity of what we're feeling.

Maybe trying to limit the use of the word will help you not feel so desperate for food.

Best wishes!

What kind of filter?

[*Misty*Raine* 192]

What kind of filter?

I had a IVC filter put in to prevent blood clots. It was recommended by my dr. Wasnt exactly a walk in the park. But I'm one step closer to my final destination. Losers bench....I'll be anxiously awaiting to post I did it.
