Thanks Robin. So far the diet isn't too bad. But I am trying to stay calm. Excited nervous...feel a little nuts

I remember when i was at the point of my pre op diet. I was soooo nervous, and considered not following through. As time got closer to my surgery date, i felt less nervous and more excited. Don't get discouraged. Best of luck!

Hey I started my preop diet today too! When is your surgery?

Hi, I started my pre-op diet on Monday and so far, so good...my surgery is set for 6/25 and I am definitely getting more anxious and excited each day!

June 28th! So close. So far away

It'll be here sooner than you think!!

For me I realized it was my body detoxifying. I quit alcohol, soda, coffee, and fast food right before my pre-op diet. After a few days it will seem like no big deal. And it is worth it! I have lost 100 pounds since February 28th and I couldn't have done it without the surgery or the pre-op/post-op diet. Good Luck!

I'm June 28th too! Yes 13 days!!

I am scheduled for 6/25 as well began my pre-op on Monday also

The pre-op diet can seem a bit of an intimidating challenge, but it can be done! I would highly suggest you get as much variety in as your doctor's plan allows you too. I thought several times about cheating a bit, but I kept reminding myself that if I slip up and my liver isn't shrunk enough that they would have to close me up and not do the surgery. That was all the incentive I needed!

It'll get easier - just make sure you're having a little something every 2 hours and stay away from people who have really good smelling food.

Ok my last day of food before preop was a lunch date with my friend at olive garden and dinner with my hubby at the Mexican place with that good ole salsa. Followed by a trip to Walmart to get my food to start preop tomorrow. Here we go!!!!
