Pre-op Diet ..starving



Recommended Posts

I started my preop diet late last week and most days it is a struggle. I do fine all day then by nine I loose my mind. Yesterday I had a tooth pulled and I am in a lot of pain (dry socket I think) so I am on pain meds. I find that it is hard to not give in. I am cranky and the pain meds give me Migraines. I haven't really cheated, but this week can't go fast enough :( . My surgery is the 23rd and I am down about 6lbs but I really hope it is easier after the surgery.

I don't know about your dr, but mine allows me to use unsweetened almond milk in my Protein Shakes. Try that and see if it helps..

The pre op diet was the hardest part of the whole journey for me. I was one cranky woman! It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel while you are in the middle of it, but it will come and go....and you will be shocked at how fast everything goes by. Good luck! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
