Thank you! ????

I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday, I am just wondering for those of you who have had surgery what kind of yogurt did you get? I am able to have some on the 3rd day I was going to get stuff on Wednesday just to be prepared.

I have to be there at 6:15am for 7:30am surgery on Thursday. Now if I can just get my brain to shut off and stop think so much about the surgery. I just have a few more things to get together and I will be ready ????

I cooked last night for my family and ate with them, (my yummy Protein shake) I can't hide from them eating for the rest of my life. Last night was the big test and I passed with flying colors. I knew before that I was ready for surgery but now I know that I am mentally ready as well ????

My sister asked me if I was nerves or scared and I told her no. I am leaving everything in Gods hands. I have been doing good with my preop diet and I am praying that continues after surgery. I have been stressing about not starting my period because I do not want to be on it during surgery. I was actually excited that I started this morning.

I am so excited and happy, today is a week since I started my preop diet and I have lost 11lbs. ???????????? Surgery is on Thursday, I can not believe its almost here.

I have no dr to talk to about pre op diet b/c i am doing it in Mexico. I have to start jan 29th of pre op. i just emailed my coordinator. what i read off their website is one Protein shake at Breakfast and lunch and small dinner salad with Protein and if necessary Protein Shake.

doesn't seem like enough food in one day. i bought the premeier shakes which is 30 grams of protein, i do know i am supposed to drink half a gallon of Water a day. but i work all day long. i have pre diabetes and get shaky if i don't eat enough so is it really true that only eating that small of stuff will keep me all day?

thanks for everyone's adivce on getting me through this

i am getting scared

I am diabetic and have been off my meds since I started Preop diet. I am on all liquid diet no solid foods (every doctor is different) I do have 3 Protein Shakes a day and sugar free jello/Popsicles, I also have broth every once in a while and lots of Water. The first two days I felt like my blood sugar was dropping but after that I have been good ????. Good luck on your journey it is hard but it is doable.

I do not like chocolate so I have only been using the vanilla shakes, last night a friend of mine gave me some her chocolate Protein Shake and it was good. Today is day 5 for me, after I had the chocolate shake, I had all this energy and cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom, wall to wall. During the day I have been doing good it's in the evening that I start feeling sick, nauseous and a headache. Oh ya and last night my back was hurting a lot, I have no idea why. I agree with a lot of people as the days pass it gets easier ????

I'm checking in for surgery. Wish me luck!

Good luck! Sending prayers your way ????

I didn't give in ????. It took a lot of will power but I didn't do it. Very proud of myself

I am also struggling day 3 of preop for me. I am also good during the day, it's the evenings when I get hungry and I also get headaches. Today I had a meltdown and started crying and told myself if I can just get something to eat right now I will get it out of my system and not cheat again. Well we all know that is not going to happen if I cheat once I will cheat again. So I put my big girl panties on made my shake and broth and I am laying in bed reading all the forums on here ????WILL POWER AND PRAYER ????

I had the same problem with my 19 year old daughter, so I let her come to my appointments and she asked questions. She also told the doctor what she was worried about. He had me take her to the seminar they provide after that she was very comfortable and is now my number one supporter ????

HELP! This is my 3 day of preop diet and I am hungry I have been doing everything right. Right now I am so tempted to eat something small and healthy! I don't want to cheat, but I feel like I am about to give in ????

Omg here i go i can't believe it! A prayer for everyone this morning and praying for steady surgical hands

Good luck! Sending prayers your way ????

I took mine a couple days into pre op diet. they were so bad I downloaded a photo vault app to put them into on my phone so Noone sees them

I like that idea!

Hey ladies (didn't see any gents!), My day is TOMORROW, January 5. Finally decided I needed a little extra support. So here I am.

Good luck tomorrow sending you good vibes. Just think of all the good things that are going to come from this ❤️

I also have a fb group that I am updating everyday, I just started it last week as it is easier for me to check Facebook. My group is a closed group and only members can see it ????

Today I can say it was not so bad! I kept myself so busy I am just now on my 2nd shake of the day. I did have lots of Water and a Jello, broth and a Popsicle for lunch. I am having some back pain and a slight headache.

I def will I have yet to take my before pic...barf but I'm going to do it the day before I leave and then I will post one every month for a year! I can't wait!

I took one barf is right, I will post the day I go into surgery. I am hoping I loose some weight on this crazy preop diet.

I do not feel full. I mean, I'm clearly not starved. But even having 4 shakes a day can be less than 1000 calories, with a full-sized stomach. It's totally doable, but I'm not exactly feeling hale and hearty. And I am definitely not BITING things as much as I'd like!

Ok, I thought I should be feeling a full sensation and I am not. Yesterday was my first day and I will admit it was horrible not because I was hungry but because my brain would not shut off, I thought about food all day and felt very weak. Today I woke up feeling much better ????

This is a dumb question sorry, isn't the Protein Shakes suppose to make you fill full?

The pre op diet hasn't been really bad it's just boring, I feel like a rabbit, 1 weetabix for Breakfast with a small amount of skimmed milk, salad for lunch & dinner, 2 pieces of fruit a day.

I think I would be ok with just being able to chew on some salad and fruit, but this only Protein Shakes and liquids is hard. I survived day 1 only 11 to go.

I started my preop diet today, oh boy it's been rough!

Stay away from the kitchen. Window shop. Go for a walk. Read a book. Clean your entire house? Haha

Post op will be easier in the hunger dept. ( so I'm told!)

Unfortunately, I still have to get in the kitchen to feed my kids. My husband and oldest daughter are working so I am on my own today. I really am not hungry, it's me just thinking about food nonstop. I feel so dumb right now, I feel like I am weak and can't handle this. PRAYING FOR THE WILL POWER I NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL I CAN NOT BE THIS UNHEALTHY ANYMORE. ????
