Pre-op diet boredom

[meSparkle83 153]

Having surgery April 8th.. Pre op diet was kicking my butt.. But it's getting better .. Still have a headache but hopefully I can shake it off soon.. 9 more days to go

We have the same surgery day, what are the specifics to your diet?

[Aspring424 76]

3 Protein shakes.. One low carb meal and a snack like sugar free Jello or pudding . my issue is not drinking soda . went cold turkey. I was never a big eater but boy do I love some Pepsi

hello2brenda,

Best of luck to you in your weight loss journey. It is not just a process of losing weight, but also of learning many things about yourself. You’ve already started with that important realization that you rely a lot on food. Maybe you can build on that as you figure out how to change your relationship with food and find something else to fill the hole and keep away the boredom.

Hello2brenda,

How are things going with you? Have you come up with things to do instead of eating because of boredom. I like to read, but I want so badly to do something I've never done before because of my weight. I think I want to start running when I'm cleared to do so.

I'm just beginning this gastric bypass walk. I'm a little excited and scared at the same time. My primary care doctor signed off, passed the physic evaluation, one more pre-op support group to attend (though I plan on attending them post-op as well), seeing the Dietitian-working on the 10lbs pre-surgery loss, waiting to get schedule for sleep study, am scheduled to see the exercise physiologist next week. Then all of my pre-op stuff will be finished. I can't wait to get finished with all the pre-op stuff so that I can get a date for surgery.

Sending positive thoughts to you!!!
