I will be starting my 2 week pre-op diet, and I am wondering if anyone can give me product idea's that got you through it. I am just going to have a shelf to myself and probably hibernate in my room for 2 weeks out side of work. Want to reset my kitchen to make it as user friendly as possible!!!

I am on Day 10 of 14 of my liquid pre-op diet. I have to say it has been a little hard at times, but not what I thought. That is until today.. I ran to post office (before I ate lunch) for work, and I was so hungry. All it took was one smell of Mc D's salty crispy French fries, and I cheated. I let myself down, and indulged. 1 day before my pre-op appt. What the heck was I thinking. I have some scared feeling in my mind the Dr. will know the minute I walk in. I have lost 13.8 lbs so far, but I just know that value meal is going to give me away like the metal detector in the airport if you were smuggling something dangerous in.

3/6!

I feel optimistic that I will be fine. I know that when I HAVE to complete something to get to surgery, I have worked my butt off. I would hope this pre op diet will be no different. I thank God that I have my husband and family/friends supporting me!!! I love that I stumbled on this website...I feel great knowing other people are in the stage I am in...Thank you for your supporting comments!! What day are you on for your pre op diet?

You will do fine! The first 2-3 days were the hardest for me. I had headaches and bodyaches which made it seem like my body was detoxing (which in a way I guess it was.) But once I got past day 3 I was fine. I have learned to drink Water every time I felt like nibbling something, and now I am at the point in which being around doesn't make me want to bite into it. As of yesterday I was down 5.9 pounds since the day I started and that alone was enough to keep me motivated to want to do more.
Use the time you would snack with your husband before bed to do something else. I promise you it doesn't stay horrible forever!

I have my surgery date of 3/6/17. I am trying to cope with this one day at a time. I start scaring myself if I think about the pre-op diet being 2 weeks long...I don't have a food addiction, I have a routine addiction. Breaking the routine of my night/Days will be the hardest. I joined this Bariatric Pal in hopes of some new idea's and support.

I'm so glad you folks are here in this group.
