My doctor has me on a 7 day pre-op diet. I know that's shorter than some...

...however, it is not just a liquid diet, it is a NO CALORIE diet. I haven't had anything (other than 10 calories in jello) since last Tuesday. It is so hard. I'm sticking with it, just so cranky and tired. My stomach literally hurts. I got glares at the movie theatre last night because my tummy was rumbling so loudly!

My husband and I buy organic treats for our dog - and even they are appealing. Argh.

Thanks for listening.

Well, I'm usually the "suck it up and deal with it" type. But even I have to say 0 calories for a week sounds impossible.

Wow zero calories has to be rough! Good luck!!! At least it's only a week and not 2

Pre-op diet SUCKS--a lot.....If it is any help to you--It is way way way easier to do the liquid diet after the sleeve. If you can hang in there help is on the way.

What on earth do you eat on a zero calorie diet?

What on earth do you eat on a zero calorie diet?

Nothing, I'd really feel sorry for anybody around me.

What on earth do you eat on a zero calorie diet?

Tea, Water, crystal light, diet coke, fat free broth, Jello

That's crazy the brain needs something!

Yowsers! Well ... look at it this way ... your post-op diet is going to seem like a buffet!
