Preop Diet And The Journey Begins!

I'm so happy for you, and I am so awaiting for the day I make it to pre-op and then move forward!! Trust in God and he will see you through all of this!!

Thank you very much. This first day is hard but I'm going to do it no matter what. Trust and believe that I am asking God to help me each step of the way.

great attitude. the first few days were the hardest but i was sooooo determined not to mess up cuz i wanted this so badly and that outweighed anything that could hurt my process. this is a great place for support. glad you have your hubbie and mom for support. best wishes in your journey hun

You will do fine! I recently had my band and survived the pre-op diet. I've had some tempation during this phase,but each day get better and better. Today a suck on a wheat hard preztzel until it was mushy, then chew it. i feel guilty and can feel it moving into my stomach. From this point on I've learned that the tempation is not worth the guilt. Hopefully it will disgard soon, but for now it back to liquids and soups.

yay!!! it means you are just that much closer:) is your hubby getting wls too?

OMG!!! Yesterday was so hard until i went to bed at 8pm just to keep from eating. Are we to be concerned about sugar as well? I have decided to track my fat, calories and protein to ensure my diet is low calories and low fat, but the sugar content is extremely high. However, I did manage to get at least 68 grams of protein. My bariatric coordinator wanted me to get between 40 and 80 grams since I am concern about losing my hair....I worked hard at it. This morning i am drinking a Yoplait Greek Yogurt Smoothie which has 14 grams of carbs but only 2.5 grams of fat with packed with 30 grams of protein especially since I added a scoop of vanilla whey protein.

Sometime today i am going to call my coordinator because there is only so much oatmeal, salad, fruits and vegetables I can eat within two weeks. I wonder if I can have wheat bread just one slice.
