One week before.



Recommended Posts

Hi there

I am from London and i am currently one week bf the gastric bypass surgery. As pre op diet i have been already on shakes only diet for a week and still have 6 more days to go. I can't believe my scale as it dropped 5.5kg this week!!!! But today i found my self craving to chew st and i can't get it out of my head!!!!

More about me... am 30 and been overweight my whole life...had few hard years and weight when way way up....to the point when i didn't feel comfortable anymore. Other reason is me and my hubby have been trying for a baby for the last four years and have no "medical" reasons why we are not succeeding. The hope is with my weight gone i will increase my chances. ...

Its good to have a place to share the personal experiences. ..

The need to chew is a tough one during pre-op diet. I can only tell you to occupy your mind with something else so you don't think about it. You only have 6 more days before surgery, so just get through it. You will be on liquids for a few weeks after surgery as well, but the big difference will be that you really won't be hungry.

Good Luck!

Chew on ice and sugar free popsicles! I did not have a liquid only yet but I've seen many people do this and recommend it. Good luck to you, both with surgery and trying to conceive. :) I'll be in that boat as well in the next few years...
