August sleevers && preop diet

[Kstokesforever 6]

I'm on day 2 and doing well so far.

Hi Hannah on day 2 as well but now it's Friday night and no enjoying drinks and festivities as I do on weekend, so I was doing well all day until tonight hit. I am glad you are still doing well and I will fight to focus on the end result.

I'm on Day 5 (being sleeved 8/12). I've been fine all week long. I had a bit of a test today when I went to happy hour with my coworkers. But, I happily sipped on my Protein Shake at a local sports bar. :-)

Hey all I am on day 4 of my pre op liquid diet surgery on the 9th. It was hard the first couple days but it is getting easier I have to keep reminding myself this is just one step in getting my life back on the right track. We can do this stay strong everyone.

Me.....and it sucks lol 11 more days....ugh. My surgery is the 13th so we'll be suffering together!

Me too and right now I'm going through! Trying to stay focused! Don't want my shake for the night I'm just calling it a night!

Hey friends! My surgery's the 13th. Excited with all of you.

I find that the more I stick to it the easier to becomes. I'm going into the fourth day now. I realized that for this preop diet' date=' I REALLY have to slow down my eating. Sometimes it takes me an hour to drink some broth, have some veggies, whatever it is I'm allowed.

The hardest part now is intermittent hunger and realizing I'm about to go into a habit (grazing, picking up a food and then being like, "WAIT! I can't it this." My plan is to take it hourly.[/quote']

At least you can have something other than just these Protein shakes.

Surgery is 8/7 feeling way tired, lightheaded, etc. Is anyone else having this issue with the prep diet?

Cant say I've been feeling that way but its still early, I'm just on day 3. Your surgery is right around the corner, hopefully after you'll start to feel better. Good luck!!

My pre-op diet is shakes for Breakfast and lunch with 2 Snacks and a palm size meat (no skin, or fat, or oil) and 3 hand-fulls of veggies for dinner for 2 weeks.

I haven't cheated so far but I probably would if I just had a clear liquid diet like you lol. Stay strong!!

I'm allowed 3 Protein drinks, and 6 servings total out of the following: oatmeal, cream of wheat, 98% fat free or light veggie Soup, sf pudding, sf yogurt, no sugar added applesauce, lettuce/carrots/cucumber/broccoli with 2 tbsp of ff dressing. The serving size is 1/2 cup to a 1 cup. All the clear liquids I want (including sf popsicles, my savior the first few days!)

I'm winding down day 4 and still have 2 Protein Drinks left. I had major tummy issues the first day, but that was an experiment gone wrong. I switched to soy milk months ago after hearing about people's post op issues with lactose intolerance. I bought skim for this week. Bad idea lol I'm back on soy now and all is well. My dizziness and headaches are getting better, although I still feel super scatter brained. Walking around the grocery store tonight made it slightly worse, yet I felt better once I got home. I'm also diabetic so my flailing blood sugars are contributing to my head troubles lol

Yesterday I obsessed about pizza for about 3 hours. I just sat and chomped through about 5 popsicles till it passed. My only "cheat" has been a teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese in some Soup. I don't even count that lol Today has been much better. This is doable, as long as you keep your eye on the prize!

I haven't officially started the preop diet yet. My surgery is on the 21st. I bought all of my stuff yesterday and will be easing myself into it over the next couple of days.

My surgery is on the 21st as well. Second day with my liquid preop diet....13 more days to go. I keep reading in other posts that this gets easier. I sure hope so.
