Pre-op diet hell 7/5/10

I am in hell. 9 more days until surgery and the pre-op diet is making me insane. I'm always hungry, especially between dinner and bed. I hate being hungry!

 

I am doing it exactly the way my dr. said, drinking 64 oz water/day, no carbs etc. I want to eat the world!:scared0:

Sawree. I can only imagine how hard it is for you. Maybe drink more water between dinner and bedtime or go for a walk. Just remember to keep telling yourself this so my liver can strink and my surgery is safer for me. That's what I'm going to tell myself when I'm on my pre-op diet.

OK, now that I've whined and moaned, I pulled out the info from the bariatric program and found the following: I can have a 1 cup salad in addition, and I can make my own dressing for it--woo! So I got up and went to the store, and got a brainstorm while I was there--I can season my meat any way I want--so why not with pico de gallo (chopped raw garlic, onion, tomato, cilantro)? I'm getting excited about dinner. I picked up some asparagus that I'm going to dress with a ginger vinagrette. I just need to get over myself lol, and get creative with it!

LOL!! I love that you found away to get out of your own head. I also love pico de gallo and I would put it on everything before I had my surgery.

Just keep thinking how your putting yourself in the best physical condition for your surgery. The healthier you are pre op the easier post op will be. 9 days is nothing and you know that you can do this!!!
