Pre-op diet. Need a buddie

[Nikkah_Mineolalove 4]

Is anyone having trouble with the pre-op diet? I know everyone has different guidelines....some surgeons allow a lean sensible meal, and others are strictly liquids. Is any one in the same boat as me?

Im on liquids now. Surgery is tomorrow. I dont think it was that bad. I just drank alot of broth. I made chicken Soup and?at the broth. That seemed to sustain me longer than boxed broth. I also ate?a lot of Jello and popsickles.

Im sucking on a bad boy now (popsicle) lol. I heard that broth does help, I should probably try it. But oh wow, are you nervous?

Im on my second week of liquid diet. Protein Shakes, SF Popsicle, SF Jello and broth. I can add spinach, strawberries,raspberries or 1/4 banana to shakes if low on carbs. I have tried broth but doesn't seem to satisfy. 7 more days to go. You can do this!

I just started my 2 week pre-op diet today. I can have one meal a day and shakes for the rest with up to 4 shakes a day. It's only 10:22am and I already struggling! It's the head hunger!!

I'm struggling, I'm not going to lie. I know the first few days will be tough.

April 25

I just had my one meal that I get a day and I swear I'm feeling like I would rather be fat then go thru another day like today! I'm feeling super frustrated.

I know the Liquid Protein diet is no fun. I have lost 22 pounds or around there since I started with my mandatory appts to be considered for surgery. (5 Jan 2017) I have lost 12 lbs in 12 days which is when I last saw my surgeon to complete the paper work and have exam for surgery. I started the preop liquid diet 4 days after that appt.

Stay strong and there will be rewards!

I started my pre op diet yesterday. It's hard. I'm doing 3 Premier Protein shakes a day and SF Jello and Popsicles. I haven't tried the Soup (juice only) yet.
