Trouble With Pre Op Diet

This iis my third day on my pre op diet. I'm really struggling. I don't ever seem to get full. Today I had two protein shakes, a cup of cooked green beans, a cup of cooked asparagus, a mixed green salad with oil and vinegar, a cup of petite raw carrots and two bottles of water. I haven't cheated yet but it is very tempting. I'm allowed all sugar free beverages, protein shakes, broth and vegetables. I think I'm just used to snacking and it's in my head. Any suggestions.

Krista our surgery is the same day. When I was told I could have vegetables I was so happy. I'm really not a veggie eater which isn't good but I sure do love them now. Lol. I feel for you. How many days do you have to do the pre op diet. I only have to do it for two weeks.

Lucky you. I have do to 28 days diet then 2 days clear liquid only.

How did the surgeries on the 23rd go folks? Hope you're doing well and having a good recovery.

My surgery went well. I'm a little sore that's about all. I'm on the clear liquid diet which I'm tolerating well. I ended up getting a cold and had an allergic reaction to something all of this at the hospital. I came home sicker then when I went in. Lol. Otherwise I'm doing great. Just following the doctors orders. Also walking as much as I can. The doctor said this helps keep the lungs functioning properly and will help relieve some of the soreness. So far so good!

congrats! Deff keep and eye on that cold. They sent me home with a cold too and it turned into pneumonia.

I've been on 4 shakes a day plus broth and Jello for ten days and my stomach is constantly growling!

I've been dreaming about food almost every time I close my eyes! A recurring theme seems to be meatballs! LOL!

Girl I know what you mean when is your surgery?

I cheated. I had to be on 15 day liquid diet and couldn't stand it at like 3 points during those 2 weeks I cheated and had a grilled chicken breast and even some chocolate on Easter. Now i'm 10 days post op and just fine :)

Hi Vamp!

Did you have trouble at first getting everything in right after surgery? If I drink one more thing, I think I 'll pop!
