Cravings during the pre-op diet

[geelynn 72]

Today, (day 7) on the pre-op diet I felt like I turned a corner . . . I had some energy, I wasn't biting everyone's head off, general "I can do this" feeling. Now, it's getting to be bed time and all I want is a huge bowl of Cereal, or a ice cream bar, or . . . . anything but a sugar free Jello.

Guess this is more of a rant than anything else. I'm thinking I'll go to bed.

I felt that way as well. It will get better I promise. Just don't have that ice cream or bowl of cereal you will regret it. Plus you want to make sure your liver is as small as possible before your surgery date arrives! Good luck and see you on the other side

The pre-op diet is such a great start to your new life. Your mind and body will adjust to the diet. Just keep your goal in focus. It's the best jump start to yoru post-surgery life.

Also, check out my little write-up about how the pre-op diet feels post-op. It may give you some inspiration.

I think everybody reacts to it differently. I was so sick of sweets that I wouldn't have touched ice cream with a ten foot pole, but I swear to you that I would have punched my own grandma in the head for some steak. Which is the total opposite of how I usually am... I'm usually all about the sweets. (Sorry, Grandma!)

Day Two was ... fluish. Headachey.

But today is Day Three, and I feel just fine

Fingers crossed.
