October 2016 Bypass Buddies?

[greennewlife 6]

I am anxious. I have my pre-op meeting with the surgeon and dietitian on Thursday. Yes, chewing slow and taking 30 minutes to eat a meal is torture. I just keep telling myself, one day at a time. You can do this!

Thank you greennewlife. One day at a time is great advice. Maybe I even need to look one meal at a time right now. Best of luck with your next appointment. I've got one tomorrow morning and again Tuesday.

Yes my surgery is the 4th, I'm doing my pre-op diet right now. It's not as bad as I thought it'd be.

Are you limited to Clear liquids, or will you be allowed to have full liquids (oatmeal/farina, pudding, sherbet, creamed soups) during your pre-surgery diet?

I'm on a full liquid diet...not just clears.

Then something like oatmeal, or farina, or a cream Soup, isn't out of the realm of possibility for you. That would help with feeling more full, I think. Less feeling like you're starving, whether you are or not.

Hello Everyone! I'm scheduled for October 4th.

I'm on the 3rd. How is the liquid diet going for you? I'm on Day three and doing ok. Mostly i just wish I could eat. Don't feel tired or very hungry, just sad about not eating. I'm excited about surgery though! More excited as it gets closer and less nervous.

Rachel, I guess I was lucky when I had my lap band then the sleeve that I only had to be on a liquid diet for 2 days. Is ur diet a Clear liquids only?

I'm on October 3. I'm getting excited. I haven't found the liquid diet to be too bad either. I'm missing food but I don't feel very hungry. I had a WICKED sugar withdrawal headache on Day 2 but that has gone away now. Good luck to you...can't wait to hear about your success!

My surgery is October 4th. I've been on the liquids for a week and at the moment I am starving. My Nut told me it is ok to have low carb vegetables and bouillon so I made a pureed veggie Soup which I use in those moments when I need to eat or I'm going to loose it. It has helped me stay on plan...I'm dropping weight to so that is good. I couldn't take it if it was just the sweet shakes all day long. I may go out and try to find sugar free Popsicles just so I can have something to chew on.

I found out last week that my surgery date is set for Monday, October 31st. Feeling nervous but excited. I am ready to start feeling better. Good luck to everyone out there!
