Pre-Op Diet

By AshtynClaire

· 469 views

Well, Thursday is my big day! I'm thinking a lot tonight, probably way too much. The good thing is, I had to lose at least 10 lbs on my Pre-Op diet & I've lost 15 :) so I'm pretty excited about that. Although, I'm feeling a little discouraged reading everyone else's Pre-Op posts about "3 days" or "7 days".. because mine has been 10. I was given a few puddings and things like that from my doctor. Since LAST Monday the 2nd, I've been eating jello, popsicles, pudding and water. I'm extremely hungry and it's getting very hard coming up on this last day. I hope this is normal & I wasn't instructed to do something bad. This Monday-Thursday I'm on all-water. I hope this is right. :/

Anyways. Any advice anyone has I'd love to hear, because I've never had surgery & I'm pretty much very scared! I don't handle pain well & that's scaring me. Anyways it's way past bedtime. :) goodnight.

    As long as your following your doctor's orders your fine. And how you feel is very much normal and your going to be fine. We all tolerate pain differently and I can tell you I am HUGE baby but I barely even used any pain meds which is HUGE because I thought I as gonna be hurting like crazy but I didn't. I went home the same day of my surgery and here I am doing fine. Hang in there and it will get better!

    My sister is having her surgery tomorrow also and I think she's excited but a little worried too. I'm sure both of you will do fine. Just think of all the things you'll be able to do once you loose the unhealthy weight. Stay positive :)
