Hardest Part...



Recommended Posts

I do so well during the day on my shakes and Water only..then I go home and have to cook for the kids....cooking for them and not being able to eat it is soooo hard...

My date is november 5....and I am down 15 lbs from this preop diet....not too much longer!

What is your hardest part of the day?

I agree. When the kids are away at school it's pretty easy. With my pre-op diet, I get one little meal a day. After eating that, it's hard to turn it all off. I'd love to eat the rest of the night! I've been doing 3 shakes and a meal for over a month now.

Weekends are excruciating! Everyone is home. Teenaged boys making numerous trips to the fridge- ugh!

But our big stomachs will be gone soon!

Having the surgery and eating afterwards will be the easy part - because this pre-op liquid crap is nuts to handle! I would kill to be able to eat a small sensible meal per day! I'm expected to have nothing but 5 shakes per day and water! No popsiciles, SF Jello or fat free broth! nothing - really? I have been bitching about this since I started on Monday - I have to get my head around this whole process and soon - focus focus focus :)

There isnt really a hard time anymore - now it is a relief that I am no longer controlled by an obsession with food. Feels good to be free ;)

Before surgery I would say anytime i tried to do the all liquid thing - what a nightmare and I feel for the folks who have to do weeks of shakes for their pre-op, its torture. For my pre-op my doc has his patients do Atkins induction - hellooo chicken breasts and cheese lol - wasnt so bad.

The pre-op diet is very hard. I do two Protein Shakes a day and one low fat, low carb dinner. The dinner does help some. I am really hungry tonight but can't eat anymore today. Guess an early bedtime is in store for me tonight. It's very hard tonight. I don't understand all of the different diets either. I have to do it for two weeks but many others don't do it as long. I'm ready to get to surgery day.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
