What is ur pre op diet like? Im miserable lol

I was miserable for the first three days! I couldn't see any food on tv without wanting to jump through the tv. Yesterday I slept a lot. Last night I was really hungry, but my emotions about it were in check. I get two Atkins shakes, two medium sized fruits, 2 1/2 oz cups of milk, and two cups of veggies a day. How about you? I'm sure I will have my moments. I'm staying away from grocery stores and any restaurants or parties. Luckily, I'm a stay at home mom so I can pretty much lock myself in my house fr the remaining days of this diet. I drink hot tea when I want to put off having anything.

My doc has me on these Protein Shakes. This week I have shakes all day and one meal at night thats unlimited mixed greens, one serving of veggies and 6 oz of a lean meat. I can have a cup of coffee with skim milk only. And no dressing on my salad and 64oz of Water a day. Next week im on straight shakes no food. I dont know how im going to do next week ugh :( its interesting the pre op diets r different. I guess its the doctors preference.

Yeah, the diets vary! Some people are on liquid diets for two weeks! The day before surgery I'm on a clear liquid diet. A piece of meat would be nice about now! Hehe I've been weighing myself every day to help. I know some days I won't lose any or may go up...but so far I' started at 284.7 down to 276 four days later. If you can have hot tea do it! Just remember what we are working towards! You are beautiful by the way! We can do this! Spend time reading this forum. It has really helped me when I get scared or wanting to eat ten pizzas! Lol

Yes Wednesday January 23rd, leaving for Mexico on the 22nd. Thinking what to take with me to drink while I'm out there for the two additional days out of the hospital.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
