Starting my pre-op today!



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

I am entering Day 1 of my Pre-op and I am sooooo excited. I think I am almost too excited to be hungry! It's been an okay starts. My husband and I have been up since 7 with our DD. He keeps slipping up. He brought me some French Vin coffee in bed. But then I had to remind him that start my pre-op today. So only Water. I think I am going to try to plan each day out the day before. While there aren;t any calorie restrictions, I still want to make sure I look at my carbs (no more than 40 a day) sat fats (no more than 5/serving). So here is what I had and what I plan on for the day

  • 9:00 am 16 oz of water and a plain hard-boiled egg
  • 10:15- 16 oz of water a a half of banana (other half is my daughter's :-)
  • 11:30- 16 oz of water and a apple
  • 1:30- Protein Shake (150 cal/ 1 gr of sat fat/ 6 g of carbs/ 26gr Protein) and 8 oz of water
  • 4ish -Some snack within guidelines (I was thinking Greek yogurt with frozen strawberries) with 16 oz of water
  • Dinner- Plain chix breast w/ sweet pea with 16 oz of water
  • Late night snack if needed- Protein shake (280 cal/ 2 sat fats/8 gr carb/ 56 gms of protein)

Wish me luck!

Yeah. The main thing that was stressed was getting in lots of Water, fresh fruits at least two a day, and mainly Proteins. As little carbs as possible too.

Thanks! I am FOCUSED!! I keep reminding myself "You need to shrink your liver. It's not about losing weight, but shrinking your liver." Happy and uneventful surgery is keeping my eyes on the prize.

I start mine on the 13th and my surgery is the 27th, but I have to do my psychological exam on the 10th. I live in Georgia and they are saying we will have snow and ice on the 10th. To make a long story short I'm running out of time to get all my appointments in before the surgery, but I will go on thr pre-op diet just in case. I might be on a liquid diet longer than any one person can handle.

It's worth it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
