I start my 8 day pre op diet today. I have to go to Old Chicago tonite with my mom since she can't drive in the dark, and she is meeting friends there, and asked me to drive her. I will be bringing my shake with me. Even though this is tough, I can't believe my time is finally here. I've been working hard (just like everyone else) jumping through insurance hoops, countless doctor appointments, and medical tests and it's finally here. My heart is so full of happiness and peace right now knowing that I will be sleeved one week from tomorrow. Hopefully I will still be this happy in a couple of days...LOL

When I was on my preop diet I thought it was no big deal for the first day or two. Then on the third day I was so hungry I didn't know if I could possibly do this, after that it got easier as my body adjusted to the change. Good Luck.

Thank you

gather those thoughts of hardest and best diet techinique and memory's, use them after surgery and see that they go a long way further into weight losses. You should not be as hungry given your at stage that its turned to be most comfortable afterward.

I started my on Friday is hard because I keep putting myself in the position but just stay full at all time and it will be ok.

I cheated the first two days I'm on the third today. I'm really trying hard. I keep thinking that if I don't followed the doctor directions something bad going to happen to me.

Have you have yours done.

All I will say is if you can make it thru the pre-op diet, the post-op diet is a breeze! Plus, you have a jump on your weight loss.

Just take it one meal at a time. Make the right choices now and you will have a safer surgery. Lets face it, if we were good at dieting, we wouldn't need this surgery! Lol!

I had 2 weeks before and 3 weeks after ! Kept telling myself it is the only time I had to do this!!! Made it easier afyerwards!!

This s the best piece of advice I've heard so far

I've been on my pre-op diet for over 2 weeks now and have 3 more days to go including today. What has been amazing about this is that I haven't had to focus on the food. It's not a question of "what am I gonna make for dinner?" or romanticizing my next meal, because it's another freakin shake! So, I feel like I have a glimpse of what life would be like post-op when food isn't the focus of my time and attention and just finding other things I enjoy to fill that space. I only had a couple of days where I was really hungry. I have to drink water and find other things to do to occupy my mind until the feeling passes becasue food isn't an option now and it won't be after surgery.
