Pre op

[sonya601 7]

I'm having the hardest time ever on this liquid diet. I feel hungry, depressed and having second thoughts on having the surgery. The broth is nasty. I can handle the shakes just can't drink a lot. even before I never was a person that constantly drink. Maybe tomorrow will be better

I'm struggling too... I'm not too terribly hungry, I'm just exhausted and have a headache. I guess I anticipated it, but it still stinks. I'm on day 2/14. My surgery is scheduled September 30th.

Tonight I wanted to feel a bit fuller than I did earlier in the day. I boiled 1 lb. carrots (not peeled, to leave the fiber), and 1 onion in a large container of chicken bouillon + a medium-sized can. I pureed it in the blender and added juice and rind of 1 orange, then added salt and cinnamon to taste. By the time I ran it through the blender, it had cooled somewhat and wasn't too hot to add the Protein powder. I put enough of the puree in a large Soup bowl and added a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder. Whew! Feel better.

There's plenty left for tomorrow.

I'm on day 3. My surgery is September 30 as well. I asked my nutritionist can I have food, she replied with a salad with vinegar only or fresh cut vegetables. I don't know if this will help you a little... wishing us all good luck with liquid diet

Hang in there, the first 2 to 3 days are the hardest keep your eye on the prize! Headaches are common as your body goes thru a detox period of sugar and carbs. A cup of warned low sodium fat free chicken broth will help with that a lot... best of luck this is only a small step in a long journey!

I t will get easier I am a week out on the pre op and I have had the shakes for Breakfast and lunch and around I have a cup of organic chicken broth or vegetable broth and about 5:30 6:00 I have my dinner of the oz. of chicken turkey or fish 1/2 cup brown rice and a cup of cooked veggies except corn, peas or lima Beans they are no no's and through out the day I have warm tea no sugar or cream or sugar free drinks I hope this helps give you an idea to keep from being hungry.

Thanks. I'm so glad that there are many others who have been attempting to try other meals. Counting calories and my other techniques are useful. I have created a diet journal to record my journey to a healthier life..
