Oh my gosh this pre-op diet STINKS LOL

I do not know if its head hunger or what but my stomach growls I go down some Water or unsweet tea 5 mins later its growling again.......... last night I want to eat an entire bag of Doritos but I ate some ham slices instead!

ANY ADVICE?!?! I only have today and tomorrow then wed is liquids (feel like that may be worse) then Thursday is the BIG DAY!!!!!

My dietician recommended making a list of distractions. She said ideally, they should be things that make you feel good. I received some posh bath stuff for Xmas and even though I don't comfortably fit in my bath, I have a long hot shower, light candles, music and treat myself top to toe. Everything I can start doing now to moisturise and massage will hopefully help the health of my skin and therefore give it a better chance to bounce back. If I keep doing this, I'll look tonnes better before I know it, I'm all done and feeling so fresh and good that I'm motivated to ignore the fridge. Other things could be so your nails, buy some magazines and have them around the house- ones with clothes you would love to be wearing etc etc! Hope that helps :)

Today is my last day on the pre-open Protein diet. Tomorrow I drink the bottle of mag citrate and can have only Clear Liquids and Friday is my surgery. I won't know what time it will be until late tomorrow afternoon.

Feeling nervous and excited.

I'm doing ok other than dizzy, had lotsa nausea yesterday .As much as I dislike the idea, I'm going home this afternoon, but then I may do better at home too. Grape frost Isopure is the nastiest thing I think I have tasted in a while.

Glad to hear your going home GAWildKat. Hope everyone else who is postop is healing well.

I had my EGD today. If all comes back OK with that, surgery is a go for the 10th!!

Lucky, you are lucky to only have a one day liquid diet! I'm on day 8 and it's been a $&@&@! It does get easier, but it's no fun. It has taught me that my body can survive on Protein Shakes, sf Jello, and water! I also now know that my willpower is alive and well. I've lost approx. 10+ lbs.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
