Hey there u two!! I don't have to do a pre op diet mandatory but I'm still trying to do one but the fact I don't have to has made it hard!! Finally since the end of last week Ive been doing pretty good. Im just doing protein shakes for first two meals and salad for dinner and have had some string cheese or celery when hungry. Im struggling with guving up my soda!!How about u guys?!

I gave up soda about a month ago!! That was hard.. But now.. not so much... I am on Day 11 Pre-op Diet... My food list consists of: Water, Protein Shakes, Jello, Applesauce and Broth... I sucks!!! Really bad when you are with a bunch of people and you can't eat!!.. Just keep reminding myself just a few days left to go!... But on the bright side... Down 13lbs!!

Hi 2 u 2 ???„

My pre-op is two weeks Of Protein shakes with green veggies

I have found that Sticking to the shakes with a greens only salad is very very very hard!!!!!!! But gets easier the closer to my surgery date This Friday.

I'm so jealous!! i really want food!!! But I guess, since I will have nothing solid for 3-4 weeks after, I can understand preparing the body!

How did you guys do?!?! I'm doing pretty good just pain in my port site mostly!! Hope you're all doing well :)

Hi karisa

Doing very well, the only pain I am having is like you at the port site. Went for Breakfast with my wife and felt like I could eat which was surprising!! But only had apple juice and coffee, not going to take chances at all!!

Chris

Glad you're doing well! I'm doing pretty good myself still have pain and just feel kinda weird inside..just hoping its all normal!

Hey guys day 3 post op how are you feeling?????

I'm doing good pain isn't so bad just at port site and i feel a little weak. I haven't had any problems drinking or eating liquids so far. The one complaint I do have is a headache dunno if it's just lack of calories or something?? either of you having this? Im going to get out of house today going stir crazy! Hope ur doing well!!

Im 6 days post op. Im hungry with pain at port site. Im gassy too. Good to see others with similar experiences. The headache may be withdrawal from pain meds.
