March Sleevers

[Lrckey0610 39]

March 3rd here, struggling with this pre op diet. I've cheated way too much. Never consumed more than 1,000 calories a day, but afraid that this weakness will cause catastrophe for my mind after surgery. Anyone else?

I'm scheduled for March 3rd too and I feel exactly the same. Even gone as far too think Omg I don't know if I can do this? Which makes me cry because I want it so bad, but I feel like food has control over me :-/

I'm March 19th. This will be the 3rd time I've attempted. Nerves and the thought of not eating whatever I want, whenever I want has me freaking the heck out!! food has become my god essentially.

I know it seems impossible. I am on liquid diet day 4, it is a little rough. You mind tells you that you need to eat. But you need to find a shake you really like, get a ton of Jello, and get some bouillon for you broth. I promise you that it is way worse thinking about it than the actual diet. It will be so worth it in the end!!

I'm there with you on March 3rd. I have cheated a bit here and there nothing major, but the drive to just chew something is overwhelming sometimes. I am scared of the next few weeks, but I am hanging on the fact it's just a few weeks out of my life and then it will be over and I will be able to eat again.

Stay strong! You're so close.

My date was finalized yesterday ... March 10. Started my pre-diet today so I am on my way. A little apprehensive but excited too! The time will fly by I know. I will have surgery on Tuesday and go home on Friday if goes as Doc expects. She is great. She asked what size was my goal and I told her a 2. ( I am 6 ft) She busted out laughing and asked when was the last time I was size 2 and I told her I think when I was born. That of course is not my goal!! LOL. Can't wait for the post-op.

I have my preop on Monday! Sounds like they take blood, urine, and talk through the procedure. Anyone know what they are testing for?

[defibvt 348]

They test for cheating on the pre-op diet! LOL

March 9th for me as well! I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet of high protein/low carbs. I drink my Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch. I am allowed a small low carb snack in between. I do a piece of string cheese for my first snack and a handful of almonds for my second snack. My dinner is then a few ounces of lean meat and a leafy or low starch veggie. Two days before surgery I will do all liquids. Detoxing from those tasty boxed foods with all those carbs has been tough. Staying under 1,000 calories per day is also challenging, but it's so worth it in the end. Good luck with your surgery!
