Pre-op successes

[Shainadelphia 69]

Hello wonderful community! Just a few successes from today I wanted to share.

This afternoon I took my daughter and her friends out for pizza. I ordered a plain salad (Ok'd by doc to do veggies only with lemon on such occasions...) and that's all I ate, even with the amazing looking pie right in front of me.

Tonight, after back to school night, I went out for drinks with some friends . They all had 2 beers each and I had 2 unsweetened ice teas.

This is my 6th day on the pre-op diet and I think I can do this! (8 more days to go....)

How are others doing with temptations??

Congrats, you can do this!!! I am waiting for my date to start my preop diet. Wish me luck!

[Shainadelphia 69]

Thanks!

The first three days were really hard - I was a total grump. But after that it gets much easier!! Good luck!

So glad to hear you say it gets better. I am on day 3 1/2 and had one of the worst headaches of my life yesterday. Today is a new day and one day closer to surgery!

[Shainadelphia 69]

Yes- I had a headache and felt light headed when I would stand up. Had another experience this morning - there were Dunkin donuts for a parent coffee this morning and I just sipped my tea.

One thing this pre op diet has showed me is how often I am exposed to high calorie food and drinks!! It's everywhere!!!

Yes that is so true!

The liquid diet headache is officially gone today! I feel like I can see the finish line or would it be the starting line.

My head is throbbing. Headache is so true. This is only my 2nd day and I don't know how I will make it through.

It just got better it's my meal time. My one meal a day. I don't know how people are doing just liquid for 2 weeks.

I have to ask my nut if the liquid diet the Surgeon requires includes real food I'm 5 months away but I want to be prepared
