Terrified of my PreOp Diet

[ladyd 0]

Hi everyone!! I start my pre op diet on Friday, and my surgery is scheduled for Jam 16th. I am so worried about the liquid diet. I am allowed three shakes a day for two weeks and all the Water I can drink. I just know I am going to be starving. If I drink a slim fast shake (optima) I am starving 15 minutes later. I am just so scared I will cheat and my surgery will be postponed.

Why does my surgeon have to have such a strict preop diet? If I was allowed even Soup broth I would feel so much more comfortable about this.

Hi TaraBell,

I can feel what you are saying. I am scheduled to have surgery on 2/3 I have been worried about the

pre-diet that I was given also.I pray that I can make it

thru. I have been trying to ease into it so that when the full 10 days start it wont be such a shock to my system.

This has been such a long journey to get to this point that I don't want to fail like always. So I'll pray for you

as well as for myself that we both have the determination

to make it.

Hi ladyd! I am on day 4 right now. I had a little set back yesterday, but i got right back on the horse, so to speak. I am tired and light headed, but I am doing alright. The shakes I am drinking, the Bariatric Advantage, are keeping me surprisingly satisfied.

You will do great. I almost gave up on day 2 but with my surgery on Friday, I am starting to get excited. :thumbup:
