Hi everyone, I’m on day 4 of the pre-op diet. Surgery date is April 2.
Anyone else with an April date?
Any advice from others already gone through the surgery?
I have to travel next week, due to work. Any advice on how to manage the diet?

Hi Tada and everyone, I've been a lurker awhile and I finally joined the forum today because of your question. My operation date is April 1 (two days from now)! Just saying hi to everyone here.

And good luck Monday, update us and let us know how things went!

I know you are early on but when using mayo, my nutritionist recommends mixing it with Greek yogurt. 1 part mayo to 3 parts yogurt. less fat and calories and the mayo gives its flavor to the mayo. perfect in egg salad, tuna salad , chicken salad etc later on.

We are surgery twins!!! I go in a 530 am and have surgery at 730am on April 2nd!!

It was difficult for the first 3 days for me, after that the hunger was gone. You're doing well sticking with it and it is draining mentally and physically. I was really tired on my 2 week liquid diet. I also stuck to mine because I didn't want there to be any complications because my liver didn't shrink enough, which there wasn't. The diet will really help to prepare you for after surgery as you will only be able to drink for a little while and you will have already been doing that so you'll be ready. Best wishes with your surgery and a speedy recovery.

4/24 for me! Good luck!

The pre op week and the week after are rough physically and mentally. I was so lethargic! I’m not going to lie, the mental struggle has been the hardest part for me. But with each tiny victory it DOES get easier. And you don’t have to think of it as NEVER being able to have pizza again. Once you get to maintenance I’m sure you can enjoy a slice (just not the whole pie!!! ?) Good luck to all of you. Your future healthy self is going to thank you and be so proud ?

4/1/19 here! Congratulations to you!

My date is April 16....congrats! I also will be traveling from where my surgery is to home and then for a family vacation. I know we should be mindful to keep walking as much as we can, stand, etc. I’m planning on making and packing ice cube trays of soups and what not to freeze and take for my trip and of course protein drinks.
