MOcatmom reacted to FluffyChix in Good morning, all! So, it's day 4 post op. Still having general discomfort/relatively
Ha! That's what the fast forward button is for. I haven't even had surgery, just trying to stick like glue to my pre-surg diet and the commercials are psycho killers!!!!

MOcatmom got a reaction from Bobia in The first day of the pre-op diet. OMG, I'm starving !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😩😳
It does get better. I had a couple of key moments where I got angry and depressed and wanted to go to a fast food restaurant and order one of everything on the menu. But somewhere in the frustration my brain told me that I needed to sit with those emotions and push through them. I'm only a week post surgery and I'm learning more and more how difficult this path really is but will be completely worth it.

It sucks, girlfriend. No pussyfooting around it. And it will suck a few more times until surgery. I can say without reservation it was the hardest thing I've done. Think long term. If you don't power through this, your surgeon can't get to your stomach and you'll have to do it even longer! Keep the faith!

For me, goal weights are arbitrary numbers. Do you have other ways to evaluate your progress? Behavior? Clothing size? Ability to do things? I don't know what, but something other or in addition to the number on the scale. Because you are wonderful no matter what it says.

It's scary. on that side of things. Much, much less on this side. I'm 9 mos. post op and I just live my life now. Like really live it. That's the best part right now. Build yourself some good exercise habits as soon as you are cleared and it will make the road much easier. I'm available if you have questions.

Thanks for the suggestions, BIJ. I love mint tea but haven't had it in forever. Not sure what miso is but will google that now. Thanks for hearing me.

Before you go to a clear liquid diet, ask your doctor if / how long you should be on one. Five weeks seems excessively long. This is not a decision to make on your own. It could have serious impacts to your health.
My sleeve surgery is scheduled for 8/7 and I'm on day 4 of a two week long clear liquid diet. To prepare, I had an hour long consultation with my surgeon's dietician as well as received a PDF manual on what I was limited to drink as well as what I needed to intake daily (e.g., 50g protein).
My point being, I've had very specific, detailed instruction on the liquid diet in advance. I would strongly suggest that you have a conversation with your doctor asap on what his/her expectations are for your individual case. This is not something you want to "wing" on your own.
Holler back, Socks, and let me know what he/she says! I'm thinking about you.
