Pre-op Diet And I'm Freaking Out!

Okay guys!!!

I need some help, guidance, advice, whatever you can give me!!!

I started my preop diet today and I want to eat everything i'm not suppose to!! (2 weeks of high protien/low fat/no carbs and one week of liquids)

Anywhose, I'm so scared I can't do this!! With problems at home and problems at work, i just want to eat to drown my sorrows. I'm stressing waaaay too much!! I know it gets easier but this sucks!! I just want these 3 weeks to go by VERY fast!!

I don't know what to eat or do!! Well, i have it written down and all that, but I don't know what to eat. i know that doesn't make sense, but it's just overwhelming right now. banghead.gif

Has anyone else gone through this???

First of all, YAY that you are so close to getting sleeved!!! I know how hard the preop diet is. I was an emotional mess when I was on it. I recommend keeping lots of the foods you are allowed for Snacks to help when you are hungry. I visited this forum lots and watched Youtube videos to help. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! It is a huge challenge, but it is SO WORTH IT! The sleeve WILL change your life. biggrin.png

Oh, i have TONS of snacks that i'm eating constantly!! lol!! I'm visiting this forum everyday and will be for the rest of my life!! i love all the help, advice and support we give eachother! Don't know what I would do without it.

What do you search under in youtube to help with this, though?

I can't wait!!! lol January 18, baby!!! lol

@Lacie, I have PCOS, too and i hate it!! And yes, all the football food in my house doesn't help at all either. My neice just went to go buy like two of those pizza mini pockets, too and i was soooo tempted but i resisted! :) When is your surgery?

I want to get rid of all these things i have already so i can start living!! I hate PCOS, Cholesterol, constipation, and all that crap this excessive weight has done to me!!! Or i've done to myself over the years actually.

I still can't believe i let myself get to this. :( That's the thing i keep telling myself and that fuels me to keep on going! And of course all of y'alls support and encouragement! I can't wait to get sleeved!!! :)

I started my pre op Monday. But had started getting sick Sunday. Alot of coughing and congested. Not getting much better. Surgery is scheduled for the 24th of Jan and hope this does not cause a delay. But, because of this, I'm not very hungry anyway. I drink 2 protein shakes /day and 3 protein bars. Its 9 PM and I still have a bar and shake to go.

firstday,

I started my liquid diet yesterday and they want me to drink 4 slimfast/low carb shakes and when i first posted this, i was freaking out and now I'm good!! :) Thanks to everyones advise and support!

I also find it hard to finish all 4 shakes in the day and i usually end up drinking the last 2 about 2 hours apart.

I've lost 7 lbs so far and i'm excited about that!! I already preregistered at the hospital and had my final visit with my dr and nut. I'm sooooo excited!!

How's everyone else doing?

start writing down what you're eating and you will feel more accountable. :cornut: Remember how much you want to have this surgery and how much it will change your life! :purplebananna:
