I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know? Thanks, paddyski, I need the encouragement This is just kicking my bum big time-I don't have much energy, the shakes (I have to use New Direction) are causing fun gastro issues for me, and I want something other than the shakes, broth, and Jello. Everyone says week 2 is better so I am hoping that's true for me too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rch1286 23 Posted October 25, 2018 I'm having my surgery 11/8 and just started the pre-op diet today. I feel like this is going to be the slowest 2 weeks of my life. I still feel so intimidated by this pre-op diet but I know how important it is. 1 paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I am hoping the next 10 days fly by! What is your pre-op diet? Mine is 4 shakes per day and I am also allowed to have up to 2 cups of non-starch vegetables. (just finished some cucumbers!). Good luck! 1 paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not currently hungry per say, but I have headache and just feel so blah. 1 paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I am more tired then normal. But I think I was thinking it was going to be so terrible before I started, that so far it isn't as bad as I thought. Hopefully it keeps getting better and better each day and the next 10 days will go quickly! You also reminded me that I am allowed to have sugar free ice pops, so maybe I will have that as a 'treat' tonight :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
