Day 2 of the H*LL Preop Diet

[brians34 31]

Very sick of it already. How to get throught it?!?!?

liquids and nonstarchy vegetables. Going to have to get to the store for some sugar free popsicles and Jello. Thank goodness I at least have my Protein shakes.

I'm on day 6... it still sucks honestly I'm not gonna sugar coat it it sucks so bad I want pizza and bread and popcorn and chips. That doesn't go away just stay strong it'll be worth it <3

Yep, pre-op dirt, one week today & it was a tough one today. Had food cravings & felt very low. Just have to get thru these next few weeks & know this deprivation is not forever. I found warm broth with unflavored Protein Powder helps me feel fuller & Mio in Water with Protein powder gets the water down & protein up. You just need to find what's going to work for you. And keep telling yourself, it's not forever!!!

im on day 14 im down 15 pounds and I finally let my dark side creep in, I was so busy I had one shake for Breakfast and literally nothing else so at 8pm I had a whopper from burger king. SO now I know I have probably cost myself a few more days of the shake and salad barrage. Worst part is I hate the fact I did it. for the first time in my life I truly regretted eating. It really sucks.

I am starting my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow, with surgery being on November 12th, and am scared to death that I wont be able to stick with it. I wish all of you about to start or are doing the liquid diet luck and the best with your surgery.

I had it for a week before which is hard becasue you are not in pain or having a smaller stomach. After the surgery the liquid diet is easy I have now been on it for 24 days total and its just a way of life until I can eat again.. Just enjoy the Protein shakes because I missed them for the 5 days I could only have Clear Liquids. Good luck

I'm on day 2 of my pre-op diet and last night was very hard. Today so far it's not going too bad but I'd love some toast.

Thank goodness I like cherry tomatoes. Only bad thing is if I eat too many they give me canker sores.

I'm on day 11 (of 15) of preop diet (then one day of clear liquids). It does get easier, but I still want a piece of pizza. I'm lucky that I get to eat one sensible meal a day (plus two shakes for the other meals). I have a countdown app on my phone. And I know it's to make surgery better.

HANG IN THERE. try to find something to take your mind off of eating. And drink tons of Water. I'm hoping this is all worth it!

You are lucky, maybe I should switch to your surgeon. =)

I'm hoping it's worth it too. I know it will be.

You had your quick fix, just make sure you keep up the diet there after. We all fall off the wagon at some point, just remember, this is probably the strongest you have been in your past diets. You will be fine!!!

There are Protein 2go (like mio but with protein) from designer whey, it at least gives you a chance to change flavors while getting protein in. http://m.vitaminshoppe.com/mobile/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=XN-1173
