Pre-Op! One week out!



Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm Lauren! Just one week out from surgery! I'm super nervous and excited! And overall just ready! I'm currently struggling through the pre-op fast. I know this will all be worth it! Any tips (for hair, skin...all that jazz) and recipes would be super welcomed!

The first day is the absolute worst, second gets a bit better, and by the third day the hunger just goes away. Just remember it'll all be worth it. Once you get past the first day it gets much easier.

Drink lots of water! I'm allowed to have SF Jello and poweraid, and broth. Doctor said if I absolutely NEED it, I can have an EAS Protein Shake but I need to try to avoid them. Soooo, whenever I'm hungry, I'll eat some jello, or have broth or poweraid and drink Water till I'm full! I find that the days I don't drink enough water are the days I struggle the most.

Vitamin Water Zero helped me tremendously during the liquid diet...kept my electrolytes balanced and helped with the headaches and weak feeling.
