2 Week Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I I made it through day four of the pre-op diet without a hitch. Really think I've got this,not saying it's a walk I the park, but doable. Working out thou him kinda a slacker, just feel tired to go. Anyone else struggling with their work out routine during pre op? Or if you're totally Rockin it would love to know your routine

I know I was barely able to stay AWAKE during the first few days of pre-op. I literally took naps on days 1 through four. Working out would not have been possible for me.

I am not working out. I'm having knee and hip issues that um hoping weight loss will help. However, I am on day 4 also and I'm also doing very well. I am so relieved! I certainly WANT all kinds of foods but I'm a rule followerer and have been moving along just great!

Also surprised that I am not tired.

The first four days were definitely the hardest for me - it will get easier as your body adjusts.

I also found drinking green tea really helped me - I wasn't a tea drinker prior to the pre-op diet.

Hang in there and keep your eye on the prize. It will be over before you know it!!!!!

On day three AND have a cold, so yes the energy is gone! However, the cold might be a blessing because it covers up the horrible taste of some of these Protein shakes! Lol!

On day three, so far so good :) I decided not to work out at all, I don't think my intake is enough to exercise and not really feel exhausted the next day.

Yeah not a bad idea at all. I mean we give up caffeine, calories, sugar, carbs, wheat and pretty much all chewing...there's a lot of adjusting. It's okay to slow down a bit :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
