Pre op diet

[scarlep 68]

I begin in 2 days. Not looking forward to 6-8 weeks without real food. But I believe it'll be worth it in the end.

I met with the dietician and went over all his required steps. It looks hard :/ but certainly doable.

2 weeks of liquid is what I have to focus on right now.

it's going to be hard but after surgery it'll probably be easier because we won't want to hurt our new stomach, and ugh try to eat Jello at least Jello it's good I'm require to do two days of liquid starting Tuesday

Okay, I'm disregarding everyone's response on here (because I didn't read them) and I'm honestly going to tell you the truth!

Girl... I cheated about 5 times during the two week pre-op diet and I was so frightened that I wouldn't be able to proceed with my surgery as scheduled. Now, I wasn't splurging and cheating all day. It would literally be a taste of 3 fries, or a bite of Pasta, or a chicken sandwich. So, on the morning of my surgery I asked a nurse about my cheating and I was surprised when she said "as long as you didn't eat anything before midnight you're fine".

I later found out she went to ask my surgeon about this question (which I was trying to keep from him -.- )

Lol, but all was well! All IS well. Continue dieting and making better choices. Do not beat yourself up if you slip up! Pace yourself, commend yourself and be your number one supporter when it comes to this experience.

Congrats on everything and I wish you well with your new journey! ????

YES!!!! I cheated. More than once. More than twice. It was at night, late. I think overall I did really well.

I really dreaded it. I was afraid of feeling bad bad weak and having headaches. Thank goodness I didn't have to quit caffeine, just no sugar cream etc. I think what helped me the most is starting my variate iv Vitamins two weeks before my liquid pre op diet. I am very concerned about hair loss and feeling bad. I gotta tell ya, I only felt bad one day of the diet, day two. TODAY OS MY LAST DAY!!! Tomorrow is surgery. I made it!!! Almost anyway.

I'm on day 2. 1200 calories or less. 150 grams carbs. 40 grams of fat max. The creamy box Soups, V8 spicy, yogurt, Jello and the Protein Shakes are my main staples. Just make sure I have something every hour or 2. Good luck! I'm too much of a scardy cat to cheat.
