llafontant 22 Posted December 24, 2016 I am doing my pre-op diet now as well! I am on day 2! It's really hard I can agree! You're not alone lol! We can do it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KWeilbrenner09 88 Posted December 24, 2016 We are superheroes!!! My mom said I was the strongest woman she knows lol I do have classic binge eating disorder and since I am a revision patient, I've decided to see a psychiatrist after my surgery to help work through those issues. Part of realizing surgery will be a tool, not a magical cure all. I'm still on five shakes a day, but I've been drinking Powerade zero which has no calories or sugar. It's the best thing in my day lol 2 more sleeps till surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#fitnotfat 42 Posted December 24, 2016 Been on my pre op 9 days and lost 9lb so delighted, just 10 more days till my op and every time I see something I wanna eat I just think of how I will look and feel slim and the craving goes. Tough time of year to do a pre op diet but it will be sooo worth it! Hope everyone's surgery goes well x Sent from my B3-A20 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiresandwood 15 Posted December 24, 2016 Day 10 of the pre-op diet and I've lost 11 pounds! I'm now down 27 pounds from my highest weight. The loss is really keeping me going. The diet gets easier every single day and even the cravings have been decreasing. @@KWeilbrenner09 That's funny, my mom also said the same thing to me! My family couldn't believe how good I was when I went to a Christmas party last night with a ton of food around, and I didn't even bat an eye. It's great realizing just how strong you can be!I'm starting to get really excited about life after surgery. I know it will be hard, but feeling healthier and lighter will be so amazing. Good luck everyone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smaller 77 Posted December 29, 2016 Had my surgery (RNY) yesterday afternoon. Just got home a few hours ago. The surgeon was very pleased with my compliance to the pre-surgery diet. It was tough, but I made it through with a good support system. All of my family and friends were so helpful and supportive. Not to mention the feedback on this board. Couldn't have done it otherwise. I was doing laps around the floor every hour today from the time I woke up. Last evening, immediately after the surgery, was unpleasant. I just couldn't get comfortable. I was determined to leave the hospital after one night and I succeeded. The Dilauded through the IV really helped. I switched to Norco a few hours before they discharged me. Only issue so far is I waited nearly 5 hours between doses which caused a bit of pain. My goal is to wean off as quickly as possible. How long did anyone stay on it for? I'm expecting three days. By Friday I'll be off it, hopefully. Now on to the next stage! Hello warm, salty broth!!!
