Pre-op diet vs post-op diet



Recommended Posts

I was wondering how the "feeling" differ between the two. I'm on day 6 of all liquid pre op diet....and im surviving. The first few days were hard but I've survived making three meals a day for my family, going to a 50th party full of food and alcohol, and, a date night with friends out bowling and drinking. I was okay for it all...and that's just crazy for me. Funny thing was if I look at the food it didn't make me crave it but if I could smell the food is when I was like "oh hello". So I guess my question is...is the hungry urge different after the surgey or can I expect kind of the same thing? ????

It's been the same for me. The craving and desire will still be there after surgery. It's just a head game.

For me, the cravings haven't been as bad after surgery. I still get hungry, but it's typically when I probably need to eat again. I'm almost 3 months out.

For me, I can think of food but I know that I wouldn't be able to eat much so I really plan what to eat so I get the nutrition I need. I made a mental switch when I decided to do this surgery that the things I ate before were not my friends. They got me to the point I was at and things needed to change.

Sure I miss some foods but I can also find a way to have a healthier option if I really want it. I would rather get healthy and lose weight than eat junk.

I don't really get hungry but I am also only 5 weeks post-op so who knows what may come. Good luck!
