Honestly the first day I was fine and today I woke up with a Migraine and missing food. But we have to be strong and I know I will start getting use to it.

I'm worried about the Migraines. I get them ALOT and normally it's caffeine related and I know I will need to just get over it, and I will.

WE CAN DO THIS!

My name is LeeAnn, btw :)

Ginko helped when I cut my caffine addiction. It took the edge off. Getting off suger was harder. I sart my pre-op diet on Monday.

I will try that! I start tomorrow, so tonight is my last hurrah with food. I think this first week will be the hardest... Then get easier. I'm going Protein Drink shopping tonight. Those things are tough... So many leave an after taste or are chalky. :/

Hey everyone! I am 8/7, too. I start my pre-op only one week before, but I have been trying to "loosely" follow it for about the past two weeks. I am down almost 10 pounds during that time alone. I'm in Florida.

I started shopping for my pre-opp diet. costco has some good deals on Protein Powder and Clear Liquids. My concern is all the artifical sugar and food dies. Has anyone found any sugar free option made with stevia or without tons of food coloring?

I just ordered the Jay Robb sample kit based on some suggestions I'd read here. Those are made with Stevia.

I'm drinking the premier Protein ready to drink shakes, in between makin my own. I got a binder at my dr.s office with a list of the things we could get. Also there are some recipes. Everything has to be 20+ Protein grams and 5g or less of sugar. I however get dinner. A very lean and small portion of protein and bright veggies. Such as a salad...

I have to say, the premier shakes are not bad!

How was week one of pre-op diet? I start tomorrow. I am nervouse since I nver got my packet with details in the mail. I had to go to their website so I feel like I am going in not fully knowing it all. What was the hard part for week one? I think I will miss chewing. I do have a last dinner planned for Saturday, my one cheat meal.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
