Pre-op liquid diet ... I want to cheat so bad!



Recommended Posts

I feel like such a baby! My pre-op liquids diet is only 3 days. My surgery is on Thursday, but today's hunger has been brutal! I've had 5 servings of Protein Shake, probably 100 oz of Water, some sugar free pudding and unsweetened apple sauce and I'm still thinking about nothing but food. Was it this hard for anyone else? The reasonable part of my knows it's only a few days, but the life-long eater in me wants to go cheat and cross my fingers that it's not a big deal! Anybody have any tips for dealing with the hunger?

Yes, it's hard. It stinks. You just gotta gut it out. Think about the game plan.

Sean,

I feel the same way. My surgery is on this Wednesday morning. I have been on a liquid diet for a week and it has been a bummer!! Lucky you..at least you had applesauce, etc.

I had to remain "busy" to keep my mind (stomach) off of food. By the time I looked up it was time for my next meal.

Hang in there you can do it!!

Hey Sean,

I was surprised at myself...I completed the liquid diet!! And you can too! Was not easy, but CAN be accomplished.

Well, in just about 4 hours from now, I will be rolling into surgery!!

Send a quick prayer up for me..we are all on this journey together.

I will check in with you soon!!

Best wishes!

I've managed to get by and not cheat! There were a lot of opportunities I had to sneak something in, but I decided if I can't even make it 3 days, how am I going to make it a lifelong change? It's tough, but I know why I'm doing this and I want to do it right. I've had some monstrous headaches (possibly due to caffeine elimination) and a big lack of energy as well. Surgery is tomorrow though, so I'm almost there!

      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.
