June 18, 201115 yr I am Monday too :/ I'm just ready to get it over with!! congrats we will be starting a new chapter of our lifes!!
June 18, 201115 yr Mine is Tuesday and I can honestly say that I am finally getting a tad nervous. We will all do fine and have a great new beginning!
June 18, 201115 yr I want to join in on the scared team too! I'm going on Thursday for my surgery! It is very scary, isn't it? We'll be okay!
June 18, 201115 yr So since we are all this week coming up what were your pre-op diets that your surgeon gave you mine has been 1 week liquid diet, and it's been pure hell just because I hate feeling hungry!
June 18, 201115 yr I started mine on May 31st. So for the first week, it was 4 protein shakes and a small meal with no red meat and very low carbs. I had to stay under 1000 calories. Then after my preop class on June 8, I could only have 2 protein shakes and one small meal. I had to keep it under 1000 calories a day but I've ended up keeping it between 600-700 calories a day! Yeah, I've had a few meltdowns from being hungry or just plain not feeling satisfied. It has truly been one of the hardest things I've done in my life.
June 18, 201115 yr Author Mine was SF Jello, SF popsiccles, low Na broth, crystal light, Protein shakes, Water, and 1 SF pudding a day for 2 long weeks! I am sitting here starving with cotton mouth! I am so sick of everything that sometimes I just dont eat anything. I am scared as (bleep), but Ill be glad to start full liquids after surgery. Good luck to every one. Lets keep in touch Melissa
June 18, 201115 yr I'm the same as you I can't stand broths or sf Popsicles Soo all week I've been living off water and Gatorade but I've lost 14 lbs in 4 days Soo I guess it's working, but I would be fine if I didn't feel hungry boo!! :/
June 19, 201115 yr I am on 3 protein shakes and 2 meals of 300 calories or less. Have been pretty good but not perfect. Have lost 8 pounds.
