I'm on day 4 of my pre op diet. I'm allowed 3-4 Protein shakes, Greek yogurt and non fat creamed Soups. I was so hungry today I almost went completely off the diet. I hate Plain yogurt so I added Splenda but I think that made me even more hungry.

Is anyone else going through this?

Also, does anyone know why the diet is these specific types of soft foods? Why no applesauce, etc? Is the point to lose weight only or to clear out your system?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Well it could be Feb, then for me. That's ok. I'm with Kaiser Permanent..

Hmmm

I thought it was 10% of total body weight.. But it only 10%of excess..

That would be about 9-11 pounds for me.. I thought I'd have to lose 25 to get the date.

Yes I will look at your blog. Thanks for the info!

What is your name?

I'm Ali. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Where are located?

I started my pre-op diet Monday and lost 9 pounds in 5 days. Today is harder for me for some reason. I can only have protein shakes, broth, jello, and I get one pickle pear a day. So random, but it gives me something to look forward to.

Hi Ali,

I live in East Bay of San Francisco in a town called Pleasant Hill,

What city are you at? Maybe we're not too far from each other!

I'm in Mountain View. Where are you having your surgery?

In Fremont Calif

So Ali, your surgery date is Monday!

Wow, are you excited? Where are you having YOUR surgery? I will be praying for you on Monday.

I used to work at a mall in Mountain View many years ago

Thank you so much for your positive thoughts. Surgery went well. I had some post op complications from human error. Spent 2 nights in El Camino Hospital. My 1st week post op was a little rough. Doing a lot better now.

Went with my mom yesterday and got a medical alert tattoo

I am so grateful my doc didn't make me do a pre-op diet.

The day before the surgery was my only day and I had to do clear liquids.

I never would have made it two weeks on a liquid diet!

Me too! I'm so grateful!
