How's preop diet going for you? Any advice I hope mine is soon

My preop diet is getting better for me. The first 2 days were the worst! I was starving and had a horrible headache. Today was the first day that I have felt good. I lost 19 pounds and my body notices it. It hurts less to stand up and walk already. I don't feel like I am starving anymore, and honestly I'm really not that hungry today as I was the first 2 days. I hope each day keeps getting easier.. 10 days until surgery

Oh as far as advice... Get ice chips like crushed iuce from gas station or from Sonic if you have one the ice really helped curb my craving to snack. And if you don't mind cooking homemade chicken broth is a thousand times better than store bought. And last but not least I keep telling myself its only 10 more days you got this girl only 10 more days. That has helped me a lot.

Great advice. You lost 19 pounds in three days on liquid diet???? Are you getting the sleeve?

I have lost 19 pounds in 5 days on the liquid diet. Yes I am getting sleeved on the 19th so just 10 more days!

Super excited for you!! Hope mine is soon too. Please keep me posted.

One more thing that has really helped is looking at peoples before and after pics those pictures have me sooo motivated! I hope you get your surgery date soon I started this journey on Oct 31 and will finally have my surgery on the 19th

I'm 3 days post and I'm having no reflux but occasional pain still when I drink or eat a jello. Things feel funny in there. Best feeling us drinking hotbeef broth. Worst is ice water which suprised me! Not as sore as others thought so I feel good about how things are going. My dr dies have me on Pepcid twice a day for few weeks til tummy heals.

So happy to hear you are not suffering from reflux and that you're not that sore. Those are big wins! How much protein is your goal for a day and are you able to reach it yet?

I know it's been so much easier than I anticipated. I'm feeling very blessed for that. My program doesn't have me starting protein until tomorrow. I won't have any problems because I love Greek yogurt, protein pudding, genepro flavorless powder for soup. Are you already doing protein? I am doing cream of wheat in the morning though. I hope you're doing better tomorrow. Are you on Pepcid?

Our goal is 60 g to start protein. One Greek yogurt one protein pudding and one serving of soup will have all of that for me. Hoping to get in more like 80.

So I clicked on the page, now how do I add them as a friend?
