I'm Not Hungry On The Pre-Op Diet.



Recommended Posts

Day 8 of the pre-op diet and I am not hungry at all. Very weird. Today I drank a Vitamin Water Zero and a RockStar no calorie but ate nothing until dinner. Then I had 3 ounces chicken and some veggies as directed.

I've already had to toss my favorite jeans because they were falling down. If this keeps up, I will be buying new pants every two weeks. It's a nice problem to have but hard to absorb mentally.

My doctor said my goal weight was 105 at 5 feet tall. No one weighs 105 in my universe!

I am also "nesting" like pregnant women do. This house is going to be so clean and tidy!

Wednesday is the big day. Can't weight, umm wait! Freudian typing!

I can relate to the tidiness, I haven't even started my pre-op diet yet, but I have been preparing things in the house. I want recovery to go smoothly and want to focus on me and not on things being out of place or disorganized. I do not have a goal yet, have to wait and see what the doctor says.

Glad you are handling your pre-op diet easily. I will be starting mine in about 2 weeks, and I am not sure how well I will do. My diet will be a complete liquid diet for two weeks. I am so dreading it.

Keep up all the great work you are doing, and I hope Wednesday moves smoothly for you and that you have a speedy recovery. You will be in my thoughts. Keep us updated on how you are doing. Best Wishes.

I'm on day 4 of the Optifast diet before surgery, today is better then yesterday. I broke down yesterday and had an egg, all these shakes and Soups and liquids, last night my hunger was alittle too much. but I have heard the third and 4th days are usually the worse. My understanding is that this Optifast is used to put my body in a state of ketosis, which burns fat rather then carbs and in turn shrinks the liver to make surgery easier.

today I am not feeling as hugry but I can def still feel it bitting at my heels, hopefully it will get easier :)

best of luck to you!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
