Lhogan876 21 Posted October 2, 2016 So this is my first post. I have surgery scheduled for October 13. I am scared and excited all at the same time. Started my liquid diet. It is so hard when the family is eating around me. Any suggestions is welcome. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcmom2016 13 Posted October 3, 2016 Mines the 13th too. Today is day 3 of the pre-op diet and it is soooo hard. Today, my boys wanted homemade spaghetti and meatballs it's ROUGH!! My nurse told me if you cheat on your pre-op and your liver is not small enough, or if you have food in your stomach, they will not do the surgery. They only know that after they start surgery though. So you'll have to pay for the anesthesia twice. That's been motivational for me!

It is so hard when the family is eating around me. Any suggestions is welcome. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App The preop diet was hard for me, too! You will get through it. Part of what helped me mentally was just wanting to prove to myself that I could do it and not cheat. I also was terrified that they wouldn't do the surgery if I didn't follow the protocols! Keep going - it's worth it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
