10th day

[Pac-woman 325]

I am on my 10th day on preop diet. I am surviving on 900 calories. For whatever reason i just dont want to eat. I am forcing down the shakes. I am scared of this surgery. Reality is setting in.

I am in my eigth day, not sure how much is my calorie intake but should be close to yours. My surgery is on Monday. My first day with the shakes was a nightmare, but got used to them and their not bad at all. I use Isopure, chocolate and vanilla in powder form and apple-melon aand passion fruit in liquid form. Although the powder form tastes better I have a variety to choose from and not get tired of the same thing. I am allowed a lean meal a day, but plan to stick to liquids last 2 days. Wish you the best of luck and just have faith that God is in control!

Hungry! I am tired of shakes. I can't drink another one. So i sit here while my stomach growls

Nights pre op were my worst. I would get raw veggies and Greek yogurt mixed with ranch dressing dry mix and survived. I did cheat a few times

We are on the same boat pac woman i can't even sleep my stomach is growling so bad and i have the only headache Tylenol ain't cutting it

[Pac-woman 325]

Water...drink lots of Water. Helps with the headaches temporarily. When one is in ketosis, chemicals are being released in the bloodstream. Flush it out. It is all i can do. I am not allowed anything but tylenol. Tylenol doesn't cut it for me either. I suffer from Migraines.< /p>

Finally surgery is done!

Hi adrianna, you will do just fine. If you have questions ask away as i am freshly done. Lol

I can honestly tell you that the preop diet is hard but it prepares your body and mind for what's come.

I get very nauseated with anesthesia. That was a very bad feeling. But they were quick to give me meds so i won't throw up. They dont want anything to hurt the new tummy.

The second bad thing is the gas in your body moving and putting pressure. For what ever reason my gas loved to hang out in the chest area and back. It is temporary. That too will subside. If you burp the better. Lol

Otherwise, the pain you feel is muscle pain as if you did situps to win the olympics. Goog God! But rest assured the little pump they give you to press for pain meds id awesome. I will be honest i have pressed it so it gives me that nice relaxing sleepy feeling. Enjoy it cause they take the pump away next day. Then they give you oral meds. Pump away! You can every 8 minutes.

They got me to walk down the hallway and back. That helps with gas. Oh and ice chips will be your friend and tell your visitors not to make you laugh.

Keep in touch!! ????
