Day 2 pre op I am starving! Only shakes for 14 days. Is this normal?

Aeromech, you should have gone to dr Cavasos in San Antonio.

Carrie -- this forum helped me so much. I am 2 weeks post op and am so glad I was good on Preop. It had me ready for life postop. You can do it!!!!

Maybe that's another reason they do the 2 weeks, other than to remove the fatty stuff around the liver in order to be able to work under it.

My Dr. did not require a pre op diet at all (not even a day before surgery) for me. I asked him about that at the hospital prior to surgery, based on the fact that the majority of people posting here seemed to have one. He said that he only requires the diet for patients he feels do not understand the major changes that will be required after surgery or for those he feels will be non-compliant. Interesting perspective - guess he inks this could change their mind?

Wow, I guess I'm not alone. I am hungry as hell, but I have to do what I have to do.

Oops meant pre op

I am actually on the last day of my 7 day pro-op dirt......The first 2 days were rough, but I am kinda glad that I had to do one...I feel MUCH better then I have for a long time. Now i just have to get over the "OMG my surgery is tomorrow!!!!" nerves that I have. The doc starts on me at 10:30 am

I went to True Results because my wife went there. I know what to expect from them.

If I were making the decision unbiased and on my own that may have been different.

Thank you though

I think the best part of the pre-op diet is it gets your head in the right place for the 8 weeks of post-op diet.

Take this time to learn the difference between your head hunger and your stomach hunger.

You really need to find a hobby. You want something that engages your mind and requires focus so you don't think about eating.

Was right there with you about 4 weeks ago and know exactly what you are going through. It gets easier around day 4 or 5 and then u will just get fed up with it the last 2 days and wish it was over with. Just hang in there. Best part is that u have less than 2 weeks to go.
