Dizzeepinkee 72 Posted February 15, 2016 Day one of my two week pre-op diet. Man, I'm excited to get this show on the road. Carb withdrawal, coupled with caffeine withdrawal, (ACK!), I am going to be a peach to be around for a few days! In the words of that esteemed and illustrious philosopher Macho Man Randy Savage.....Ooooh Yeeaaaahhhh!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katnroyal 225 Posted February 15, 2016 I was Cruela by the end of my pre-op diet and it actually ruined the vanilla flavor for me. I had to drink three bariatric Meal Replacement shakes a day and one lean meat no card meal with veggies. The shakes were vanilla, now I can't eat anything vanillas flavored. Weird I know.

I had to drink three bariatric Meal Replacement shakes a day and one lean meat no card meal with veggies. The shakes were vanilla, now I can't eat anything vanillas flavored. Weird I know. I bet. Believe it or not, this next two weeks is what I've been dreading the most. I'm not concerned about succeeding, just know I'm going to feel miserable initially. Once I'm past the first few days, I'll feel better. A lot of people who post on here mark the day they made the decision to have surgery as their turning point, for me, the day I start actively moving towards health and away from obesity is mine. That day...is TODAY! (Cue Monty Python trumpets). best of luck man believe me its not an easy journey but totally worth it Thanks man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 15, 2016 The pre-op diet is no fun at all. I'd love to tell you it gets easier post-op, but the first few weeks post-op are pretty miserable in their own right. So you have some rough weeks ahead, but there is light at then end of the tunnel.... distant light.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted February 15, 2016 I think if you can cut down the whole journey into days, it might make it easier for you. The ol', "Divide and Conquer" theory. How does one eat a whole steer? One bite at a time! Get through today successfully and tomorrow will be another day to start over with successful day behind you, then two, then three, etc... We are all here, rooting for you--starting to warm up your spot on, "The Losers' Bench". You'll join us in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
