Tatinkg 10 Posted November 16, 2017 Hang in there, it is really tough. Today was the first day for liquid diet pre-op (my procedure will be on 11/28/17 and I felt hypoglycemic...I’ve been taking Kefir, broth, coffee, two Protein Drinks and cucumbers. Good idea on popsiclesł! Thanks! Don’t despair, change is not easy to come by but you, we, all of us will get there. You can do this! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aries331 34 Posted November 16, 2017 You guys are inspiring. My surgery is Monday, Nov 20th. The pre-op diet is so hard, which is why diets don't work, right? I'm just hoping that cravings subside post-surgery. While we can't physically eat, those urges are tough. 1 TexasTracy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter.Sobchak 978 Posted November 16, 2017 So my surgery (sleeve) is on nov 21st and liquid diet started on Monday. There hasn’t been a day that I went with out cheating it’s so hard when you still have to cook and prepare food for everyone in the house. I have 8 days to get it together! Boyfriend keeps coming home with take out like his tempting me on purpose What others have said, you have to shrink your liver. If your liver is too swollen the surgeon could abort the procedure out of safety concerns. I am sure you do not want that. Stay focused, stay strong, keep motivated, focus on the goal. I had to remind myself that I had eaten enough pizza, fast food and China buffets to last a lifetime. Had to get it together before my surgery. 5 ProudGrammy, {.Narin.}, sowinning and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also supposed to stay away from carbonation now and after surgery. I’m not a big soda drinker so that wasn’t a problem but I would love to be able to have veggies. I made cabbage Soup hoping I could eat it during this phase but they said no. I’m glad you are doing so well, great job [emoji1360]Have a great day!Amanda [emoji16]HW 248 CW 241 Surgery Date: pending 11/21/2017.

{.Narin.} 34 Posted November 17, 2017 Oh you need all the support you can get so definitely have a talk with him im so dreading the pre-op liquid diet pre-op diet length will depend on my BMI 2 weeks before surgery. I’m between 43-45 BMI at the moment if its 45 or less then its a week of clear liquids only *horrified* if its over 45 then its two weeks of clear liquids + one meal of lean Protein and veggies a day 1 trailtramper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoddessMoon 108 Posted November 18, 2017 I feel for everyone that has to do a liquid diet! Omg! I have pretty much been on my pre op diet since April, because I had alot to lose anyway and was on a 1500 Cal diet the whole time. Everyone stick to the plan, fight the urges because I know it is hard! You are almost at the finish line to get your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
