Fell off the wagon/Pre-op diet (Aug. 11 sleeve)



Recommended Posts

I'm posting because y'all have become a great source of support for me.

I am on Day 3 of my 14-day Pre-op Diet and I am feeling physically ill right now.

I fell off the wagon tonight. I'm supposed to have 2 Protein Drinks and one sensible meal per day.

Today I had one drink, a chicken caesar salad for lunch, and a turkey sandwich, with frito corn chips, slice of cherry pie with scoop of vanilla ice cream for dinner. Is your mouth gaped open? I feel so sick. I WILL get back on track tomorrow.

I'm under a lot of stress at work and personally. I realized that I ate today to comfort myself and to handle the stress.

Then EUREKA! It hit me again-- this is how I've gotten into the condition I'm in now.

Y'all, pray for me. Please tell me how you're handling your pre-op diet!

You'll be ok because you recognize what you've done. No worries, just get back to it and don't be discouraged. Before you know it, your habits will change for the better. Stay focused & good luck to you.

My best thoughts going out for these days to fly by for you and to keep you on track.

When I was pre-op and felt like cheating HARD I would get out of my house in some way or I'd call a friend and talk talk talk until I was distracted. It's not easy, but so worth it.

You've got this. You do.

I too fell off the pre-op diet wagon, fortunately I was able to limit myself to eating only lean Protein. Work to get back on track, it is soooo worth it!!

To me, the pre-op diet was harder than the surgery and recovery. But 1 week post-op, I could tell that mentally, things had changed. I no longer obsessed over certain flavors and I have the "need" to eat every 2 hours.

      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!

      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!!
