My Journey Starting With Pre Op Diet

[mama angela 22]

Hang in there....I've heard that the 3rd - 5th day starts getting better - in that the hunger isn't as bad.

When I start mine - I have to do 2 weeks of 800 calorie days...but they have mine being food - Protein, veggies and a dairy a day...

Glad to hear it gets better. I just want the hunger pains to stop and I will be fine. At least with your diet you get to eat some food. I took in 730 calories yesterday.

[Tawnya777 106]

I had 609 calories today. The best part was being able to eat the egg whites. My hunger pains went away after eating the egg whites. I have a headache right now, but I think that is just from my blood sugar levels dropping low and I need to drink more Water. Yay I get to stop my insulin today since my sugars are low. I only needed the insulin for 7 days. Hopefully I can stop taking my other meds soon. I'm going to go take Tylenol now and drink some water and go to sleep. Will see how tomorrow goes.

Today I was so busy that I only managed to get in 535 calories. I had most of my calories for dinner so I actually feel full right now, after just having drank broth and 16.9oz of Water. Sometimes I get cranky and I just take a nap if I can. My family jokes that they would rather me take a nap then be crazy...lol... The pre op diet is getting better that I'm actually not even really counting what day I'm on ( I'm on day 3 by the way). I learned to except I will not be eating for a long time. I just make jokes about it now. I lost Another pound bringing me to 266. I was headache free today.....YAY!!!! Oh yeah best part, I didn't have to take any of my diabetic medication today since my sugars were around 110 after eating. It's actually going to be weird when I can eat again. So that's my story for today. Any questions feel free to ask.

I lost one more pound bringing me to 265. I had around 700 calories today. I feel a little brain fog and weak. Hoping tomorrow is better. I just feel like resting today and I'm so ready for bed. I shall see what day five holds for me.

[Tawnya777 106]

I didn't lose any weight I'm still 265. My calorie intake was 535 today and I did manage to get in some exercise. I'm not hungry anymore during the day. I only get hungry when I stay up late like tonight. I see my doctor on thursday for my pre op appointment. I never really realized how much my life revolved around food until today when I was bored and started thinking that I would have been eating while watching tv just from being bored. Life has changed for me over the last 5 days. Hopefully I lose more weight in the morning. I'm off to bed now.

I'm with you! I started it on Friday, today is day 4. It goes in waves- one hour I'm ok then maybe I get hungry later on, etc. I had to battle with the headaches too. So far none yet today!

We can do this!!!

It's funny, because the doctors tell us to get all these Vitamins, but they forget to mention to get a bunch of Tylenol for all the headaches....lol...

Thanks for the encouragement (= . We so can do this!!!

I was cranky as hell today. I took a nap, because I started to take it out on my husband. Now I'm still awake and can't sleep.

[Tawnya777 106]

I lost another pound today I was at 264. That's 6 pounds.YAY!!! I focused mostly on my school work today so I didn't get much calories in today. I think I was some in the 400's. I did manage to get on the treadmill again today. I had cravings for Chinese food today, but not really like I gotta have it, it just sounded good. I'm off to bed now, hope I can sleep.< /p>

My insurance literally went through so quickly that I was shocked when I got the approval in less than 2 weeks!! I will never complain about my insurance again.

Tawnya,

I want to thank you for posting your daily experience on the pre-op. I start mine in about two weeks and have been very curious about other people's experiences. It's nice to have an idea of what I'm in for!
