I am on the same page with you right now. I’m on the third week of clear liquids post-op and I’m feeling the desire to have something but I really can’t tell if I’m really hungry or not. I think that I’m just going through a stage where I know it has been five weeks without food and I’m surrounded by it at work at times. My surgery was May 18.

How did eating once a day cause you to gain? That’s what I do now and I did gain so really just curious.

My procedure was on May 18th and I have been sleeping all over the place.

Just got all the IV’s about to roll away to the OR?

Mine is at 2pm so my anxiety is high lol..

Soooooooo it’s May 18 surgery day. I’m so nervous and can’t sleep. Pre op weight loss 28lb

Soooooooo definitely slipped up on this pre-op liquid diet. I made it through a week and a half or more. My apt is on May 18th, but on May 15th I had popcorn. I hope that doesn’t throw off everything.. right now I’m down 25 plus pounds in the past 3 weeks.

How did the procedure go today? Are you adjusting well?

I have found that this process so far is truly mental and can be draining at times. I have gotten to the point on the pre-op diet where I’m not really hungry even for the protein shakes I just have cravings and smells get to me. Someone next door to me started their bbq grill and I about lost my mind lol. I have learned this far to respect food and not abuse it.

Understand that completely.

For the most part pretty good, I have been craving popcorn. The hardest part for me is just late nights when I usually eat are cut off. I’m not hungry during the day at all. My first few days were okay it didn’t seem hard to transition. I had pizza for the last meal

How are you doing with the pre-op?

How are you doing with the pre-op diet?

I know it will in the long run. I just worry about being consistent??‍♂️

May 18th is my day and I’m completely nervous about messing up.
