I think today is your surgery date so I wanted to stop by and wish you luck. It will be great, I promise!

Also - regarding the pre-op diet, I supplemented a lot with Protein shakes, but I ate a lot of turkey slices and string cheese. Basically cut my carbs down to less than 15 per day and had a nice, flat liver for the surgery. (Which is why they have you do the pre-op diet) I was like you - starved all the time.

The first three days are the worst. I am not kidding! The headaches and just general irritability because you're body is going "WHAT THE HECK?!" because it's used to getting what it wants and now all of the sudden it's not.

Good luck to you! You'll do great !

no its oct 6th unless they change it

stay focused,no one ever said this was going to be easy:tt2:

The doc lied said the shakes would help with the hunger, i have never been this hungry on any diet i have been on.

Mary:mad2:

I can relate to how you feel. I was starving pre-op and now post-op. Just keep telling yourself (like I am) that this is necessary and is only temporary. I have survived 19 days now with no food. Most of the time, I am okay, but I have my moments that I am a miserable you know what! :thumbup:

i blew it last nite!!i have a case of the guilts.But i figure if i stay away from sweets and carbs i should be ok.i dont really have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks yet so i should be ok:tongue:

Ok i called a friend that just had this done and she said to do the shakes with low fat milk and not Water ( i was using water) I did and they are better. is there low fat ice cream LOL just kidding i am felling better today. I was so down yesterday.

Dont feel bad pick up and get back on the road to a better life, we all have days when this will happen and you know what the docs know we are not perfect.
