Pre op diet!

[susancae 36]

I found out after lunch on the 25th that my pre-op diet was to start on the 25th. So what did I do? I went out for Mexican food that night! I figured that since I had already eaten two meals that day, I might as well get the last thing off my "have to have it before surgery list" Luckily, my list wasn't too long! I also ate some of the pies that my daughter bought from the culinary school for Thanksgiving. She had picked them up that day. A nice finish to the Mexican food ! Since then, I've been toeing the pre-op diet line!

I have 7 days left to get through until surgery. My date is dec. 9th (: I did eat on thanksgiving my dietician told me I would be ok as long as I didnt go crazy and I didnt! Ive lost 5 lbs so far. And im super excited its almost here.

Oh I did . I don't even eat McDonalds normally but my "last fat meal" was a Big Mac and large fry . I don't know why I picked that out of all the food but it just seemed "right"'. I was having Mini food funerals for about two weeks though. Of course now none of those foods are appealing. I didn't have to lose weight though. In fact I had to gain 8lbs in order to qualify mainly due to my height since I had no comorbidities.

Yep - same here! Before the pre-op diet I ate a big ol' burger with all the toppings and fries. I also had a chinese food funeral, and I forget, I think there was one other food type that I indulged in. But I still lost about 5 pounds in the couple months before pre-op and then about 15 on the 2-week pre-op. After surgery I was really glad I'd done that. It helped me to feel less deprived later.

Ty (: I agree. I also want to have a very safe surgery! Ill def keep posting. I'm so ready for this change! I have been big m whole life. Never had any medical problems so I'm lucky in that sense but I loathe being so unhappy with myself. I looked into surgery for a couple years before I even went to see the doc. And then I got pregnant and after I had the baby I went back right away! And that's how I got approved for surgery because right after I had him my bmi was over 40 but before it was 38 so I was almost there anyways. I'm scared in some ways and ik its going to take time to adjust but I feel it's a great choice to a better life

you can di it!!!!
