I'm starting my second week of pre op dieting and have one week til surgery! I hope this week is better than last and flies on by! Anyone else antsy?

Was it hard? Did u go through withdrawal from food? How much did u loose?

A lot of questions, sorry, but I haven't gotten that far yet and I'm wondering how people cope?

Yes it has been a struggle for me and yes withdrawals of course! I'm sure I have lost weight , but I won't know how much til the day of surgery because I don't have a scale! No problem with the questions you can feel free to ask me anything! The worst thing for me though was the headaches I had for the first few days! They were horrible! Not as bad as a Migraine but it was a make you wanna just squeeze your head to get it to stop hurting! More than likely from the lack of sugar I am used too! But you can do it! Believe me if I can u can!

Do u think the withdrawal would have been easier if u would have ate a little healthier before the liquid diet? Like cutting out the the sugar and eating smaller portions?

I am very antsy! My surgery is Wednesday and it can't get here soon enough. I have lost 10.5 lbs on th epreop diet. I started a week early to allow for any slip-ups I might have in the beginning. After the first 3 days it was easy. I wasn't starving anymore and the headaches went away.

Yes I had been trying to do a low cal no bread diet before and it probably would have been way worse if I hadn't? Good luck on your surgery Wednesday! Keep me posted!
