Just started my pre-op dietyoday. This is rough! I dont know how I am going to do this for 2 weeks! Any tips??

I have not started mine yet, but my doctor kept saying.. Variety variety variety. Try different flavors to keep in interesting. Hope the time flies by and everything goes smoothly!

I only have the diet for 5 days before surgery, What kind of diet are you on for two weeks?

I am on mine for 10 days. I'm currently on day 3 and today is much easier than the first 2. Hopefully I see that continue for the rest of the days! Good luck on your journey!

im not on liquids but im on high protein low carb less than 20.. and im on day 6 and have lost 9lbs so keep in mind that itll jumpstart ur weight loss that all i keep telling myself and look forward to my weigh ins every morning..

I started mine today too. A little hungry but I am managing ok so far

Just take it one day at a time! Sugar free pospicles were my savior, I like the sugar free bomb pops, you can crunch on them so you get the chew factor. By day 3, not much sounded good anymore and I wasn't very hungry, but then again, I only had to do it for 5 days.

You can do this!

My pre-op was only 1 day. Funny how different doctors have different guidelines. Maybe it goes by individual?

I dont know what youre preop diet consists of but I will tell you that day 1 for me I wanted to eat my arm!! I was SOOOOO hungry and wondered how I would do it for 10 days. BUT...day 2 was SOOOO much easier and I ended up breezing through the 10 days without a single slip up. YOU CAN DO IT!! Mind over matter...it's a short time when compared to the rest of your life! Stay strong friend!!

My pre-op diet is only clear liquids. I am not sure how creative you can get with clear liquids for 5 days.

Today is day two for me and I'm hearing so many people say the can have one meal and sugar free jello. Mine is pure liquid. 3-4 protein shakes and unlimited water or propel. Yesterday was hard but today is better. I weight myself and lost 2 lbs so this helps me to want to do better. Keep focused. You'll do great.

I am on day 3 and its getting better. I was provided a list of acceptable Proteins like beef Jerky, turkey weiners, eggs etc along w the Protein shakes. I'm equipped and prepared for these next 9 days.

I think the first two was torture!

We can do it!
