Moonstar613 got a reaction from pullmeoutfrominside in 2 Week Pre-Op Liquid Diet
Dear Pullmeoutfrominside.
I'm down to the last day. It does get easier. I was in a routine of every 2-3 hrs I would have a Protein Shake, then next a yogurt, Soup with Unjury Protein Powder, Jello, drink and a Popsicle. It's the Protein that carries you through. You can do it. Remember you have to do it after, so you need to be prepared. Cheating after may cause damage to the sutures, etc.and you don't want that !
The primary reason for the preop diet is to firm up your liver and shrink it, so they don't accidentally nick it during the surgery. When it's firm and smaller they can move it out of the way easier.
Congratulate yourself on what you've accomplished so far ..you're doing great ! Quitting smoking is incredibly hard ! As your stomach shrinks you're not as hungry! Keep up the good work. You can do it !

I have struggle a little bit since staring my pre op stuff. Like I had to quit smoking 4weeks before surgery. today I quit finally and its almost 2 week before surgery. quitting is not really a big deal to cut out for me. It is the food. I feel I might be co-dependent on food. but going through this journey has made me more self aware. the doctor put me on an all Protein shake diet. I can drink up to 4 a day. I am not going to lie, I have cheated. I feel since the date is getting closer I really need to work on the mental part of this disease. I will get through this. I am afraid of failing. but maybe this is the thing I will successes in my life.
