Hi everyone, I'm so happy that I found this app! My surgery is on the 23rd and I start my pre-op diet today. I'm sooo nervous but excited that I'm finally doing this. I don't want to fail, so any advice to survive these two weeks will be greatly appreciated. (I'm going to take my Protein now... Hope I don't starve later) ????

Congrats on starting this journey for health!

The pre op diet can be rough, their are so many different ones. Keep in mind that most of us did it and it has rough spots but you can and will do it.

Good luck, keep us posted!

No lie, the pre op diet blows! I had to do three weeks and I hated every. Minute. :lol: But every time I thought I'd go out of my mind and head to the drive through at In-N-Out I would tell myself that if I messed up, I might end up waking up after my surgery with no band. That wasn't going to happen. :lol:

Remember, the purpose of the pre op diet, torturous as it is, is to shrink your liver so that it is safe for your surgeon to get in there and successfully place your band. Just remind yourself of that, and that it's just temporary. It will all be over, soon. :)

Hang in there! You'll be done with the pre op and banded, before you know it. :D

Thank you!!

Quick question. Can I chew sugar free gum during the preop diet? I feel like I need to chew smthg , but of course I don't want to cheat. Anyone?

I don't see why not... As long as you are doing sugarless. :D If in doubt, call your surgeon's office and ask but I'll bet it's okay. :) I'm not a gum chewer, myself but I am hooked on sugar free mints. I nommed on them during my pre op and had no problems.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
