Good Morning,

It's day #4 on my pre-diet.....After eating all this cottage cheese and yogurt I'm now having the feeling when I swallow, I feel like there is some kind of bacterial thing in the back of my throat. Has anyone had this? Also, I feel a very bad taste in my mouth at the end of each day. I'm constantly brushing my teeth, but what's this weird sensation I feel when I swallow? Could it be a bacterial build up from the yogurt and cottage cheese?

Just checking, but I will call Nisrene tomorrow at the TLBC to find out...

:hungry: Also, I feel so HUNGRY, my tummy is making so many noises. I get those really bad hungrer pains. When I feel like this, should I go and grad more yogurt or cottage cheese? I've been trying to have it only for Break/Lunch/Dinner...I guess I need more, right?

Thank you all and have a great day.

"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY"....... I CAN'T EVEN EAT....THAT'S OKAY, THIS WILL ALL BE WORTH IT.

Thanks again and Cheers to a great day.

Could it be Thrush? Babies usually get it because they drink only milk and their parents don't know to rinse their mouths. I think it shows up as a white film, but I am not sure. You may want to ask some of the parents on the board. I know you can get rid of it pretty easily, but I don't remember how.

Doriana,

I wouldnt worry to much about the throat thing. Remember that your trying to shrink your liver and pretty much purge your whole body. Drink lots of water. The pre-op diet, in any other way, except for pre-surgery, would just suck. It's the fact that the surgery is just around the corner is what makes it okay. Hang in there. And ya, hunger is there, you will truly be soooooooooo sick of cottage cheese and yogurt, but keep eating it if your hungry. Try sending a pm to woody's. She had some real great ideas to spruce up the pre-op. Smile!!!!!

Cloe,

Thank you... I will hang in there.....She did give me the recipie for the cottage cheese/yogurt/ice cubes smoothie. I love it so much.

Woody,,,,, Thank you so much for that... It does make a huge difference.

Talk soon,

Doriana

I don't thing that the throat thing is related to to the yogurt or cottage cheese, in fact it should prevent thrush. But what do I know!! Anyhoo..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Hi Louise,,

Thank you so much for the Birthday Wish....That was so nice of you!

I thought forsure this feeling in my throat was from the cottage cheese and yogurt. It may be just extra mucos from the 2...... I hope it's nothing to worry about.

Have a great night.

Doriana

Hi Doriana,

Whilst I don't have much to offer in the way of advice (my preop diet was Optifast - a icky liquid shake made with water), I just wanted to say Happy Birthday!! and hang in there. It will be over soon and when the weight starts dropping off, you'll forget all about that yucky taste in your mouth lol.

I do know though, that when I eat smooth ricotta (I love it with pineapple or strawberries), I get what seems to be a thin film at the top of my mouth and back of my tongue. Not sure what causes it, but brushing really good seems to make it go away.

Hello,

Thank you as well for your birthday wish...

I hope this feeling goes away soon.

Doriana

Hey I didnt know it was your birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :eek:

BTW....If your pre-op is 2 weeks long, then tommorrow is day 5, then your almost half way there!!!!!!! WTG!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Doriana,

The bad taste in your mouth, that is your diet working. I was on the Optifast diet, but i was told that i would experience a bad taste in my mouth, it would just mean that the ketones were breaking down in my body, maybe that is what is also causing the feeling in the back of the throat. At least this part will soon be over.

But yes call the clinic tomorrow and find out for sure, at least it will give you peace of mind.

Maria

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I too was going to say it is likely ketosis begining. It made me feel (and smell I am afraid) like something had climbed in my mouth and died!!! It will pass...just not fast enough!!! Hang in there!!!

You will be a bandster soon!!!!

Kat

Happy B'day Doriana!!

I wouldn't worry about the throat thing.

...and YES.....if you are still hungry...have some more yougurt for a snack throughout the day etc. You can't just eat it at Breakfast, lunch and dinner...that isn't enough to sustain you...so have some yougurt Snacks as well!!!

You're doin' GREAT!

Is this pre op diet only Yogurt and cottage cheese ? If it is I will die ! I hate cottage cheese and only yogurt will kill me !

yasmina

Thank you, Thank you, ......

I feel so much better now. Still have the taste thing in my mouth and throat. You are all SO supportive......I love coming on this thread every day......

I'm 1/2 way there and this pre-diet will be all over soon. I can't wait...

I have the nutrional seminar tomorrow night. This should be interesting. Do they give you lots of good information and recipies for the Post/recovery stages?

I wish you all a GREAT day...

I do really appreciate you ALL...

Ciao for now.

Doriana
