First Day of PreOp Diet Done

It was a little hard but not near as hard as I expected, the 2 day caffeine withdraw headache finally went away which helps. I know the weekend will be harder when I am less busy. 13 days to go............I think I can, I think I can!

Absolutely,yes you can! I am on day one now and it sucks but that's okay cuz I know it's only getting better from here. Every day from here on out I'm getting healthier and getting closer to the me I deserve to be.

This is my second day of pre-op diet. I started weening off coffee months ago so have no problems with that but tonight I am wanting to snack sooooo badly. I just gave to keep telling myself I can do it.

Im on day 3 and I am hungry! Lol is everyone on a clear liquid diet or full liquid diet? Im on both and that kind of confuses me. I can have protein shakes and broth. What are yal eating/drinking?

I had my pre-op appointment today and was confused about the clear liquid thing because protein shakes are obviously not clear. He said this 2-3 protein shakes daily, 1 small meal of 450 calories at lunch not dinner and supplement with popsicles, broth and jello. I had lost 7 pounds already which they were pleased with. I attributed some of that to lighter shoes! I was very encouraged by several ladies in the waiting room and their success stories!

I'm on day four of two weeks of diabetic boost only diet (plus all the Water I can drink, lol). I'm having fun making smoothies with them by mixing in ice and a couple of drops of flavouring. So far the chocolate with mint is my favourite.

Awesome! I ate some sugar free strawberry Jello like it owed me money today! Also, I went to a baby shower with tons of southern cooking type food and couldn't think about anything but gorging myself. But I just kept drinking my shake I brought with me. We can do this! It IS getting better day by day. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming WLS!

You're doing great! I need to start working on my caffeeine habit before I have to follow the 2 week post-op diet. I'm going to miss my coffee.

I keep dreaming about eating and waking up in a panic. I don't recall dreaming so vividly about food before.

First day pre op and I want Dill pickles like a pregnant women. Crazy it is such a mind games. I am not hungry just craving pickles. We will see what tomorrow brings.

My 4 day of liquid diet. I'm hungry ????I broke down yesterday ????today I'm doing everything well. But hungry. What happen if U break down on this diet? I went crazy ate an English muffin and egg. I felt good. After. ????what happens if u eat like I did? Just that 1 day and do well after that please help me understand this diet ????thank you. I'm taking 1,000 a day. My shakes will take all the cl. They say I can have broth and a few vegs. I'm confuse. ????

Day one of pre-op. Not so bad so far. I'm on 2 shakes per day plus a dairy snack and a surGar free pop after dinner. Veggie/salad and 4 oz of protein. A lot better than I thought. Ask me in 3 days lol

I'm so impressed with you all doing the liquid pre-op. I'm not sure how I would handle that. My Dr. requires a 2 week very low carb diet and that's it.
