3 nights until surgery



Recommended Posts

And I can't take one more Protein shake! All I can think of is food... On day 13 of liquid diet and I only cheated once (which I felt super guilty) and was a HUGE mistake. If you are on your 2 week liquid only diet, don't cheat as it will make it so much harder to continue after and will trick your mind into thinking one bite or two a day until surgery is ok.

If you are near the end of your diet how are you coping? I have to check into hospital at 6am on Friday and although I'm not ready for surgery I AM so ready for the hunger pangs to be gone.

I would say don't cheat either. I didn't cheat but my dr switched me from two weeks to one when I had already started so I went and ate. It was so super hard to get back on track, I did it the next day but it was 10x worse than when I first started. But if I had just stayed on it instead of taking advantage of the one day I had, it would have been easier and I would be lighter. So yes I'm near the end, today is the last day and surgery is tomorrow. For the most part the last few days have been fine but in the evenings I do have these thoughts that I should go in there and eat because it will be my last chance for a big meal like I'm used to. But I do not really want a big meal, that's what got me here, it's all in my head and I don't know any different. So for you the last few days will probably be easier than you think.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
