Pre-Op Diet and the Monster Inside



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all. I'm on my third day of the liquid pre-op diet and there seems to be a monster living inside my stomach! It is quite angry.

Question for those in the know. Does this monster shut up after the sleeve surgery? If so, is it right away?

It doesn't hurt, it's just embarrassing when in public. Seriously LOUD!! ????

The Pre op diet is HORRIBLE. I was so hungry. AFterwards it hurt to swallow Water. I was not hungry for about 3 weeks or so. Some people say they don't get hungry but I definitely do. I get ravenously hungry but eat about 5 or 6 bites and it is gone.

Nope. Mine is a loud and hateful beast. After surgery I thought I would no longer feel hungry but this turned out to be incorrect in my case. I get hungry periodically and when I do it's extreme, loud and urgent. Good news: it takes about two bites of something to shut it down for hours so I just plan for it daily. There's always a way :-)

I'm not really hungry but my sleeve is a loud little girl! She grumbles and rumbles all day long, lol. Every drink I take every bite I eat she has something to say. It's not painful just annoying.... get used to it. From what I have been told it takes a while for it to go away if it ever really does.

Well, I'm glad the beast/monster can be tamed with just a few bites. Right now, it refuses to be satisfied. But just have today and tomorrow the deed is done.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
