Hi everyone

Have started my ore op.diet today. Am feeling nervous us this normal?

I am on shakes but can eat vegetables as well and salad but no carb vegetables. I thought it was suposed to be liquid only but dietician said this was ok.

The fear of the unknown is kicking in

This is very normal. I recommend that you focus on educating yourself and preparing your home for your post op life. I was on full liquids for six weeks after surgery. This meant stocking up on s oups and foods that fit that category. I also was told to immediately begin walking, so I was glad I had a treadmill at home. My nurse told me to walk 15 minutes the first day after surgery and add a minute every day until I built up to two miles. Then keep going two miles a day.

You won't believe how wonderful your life will become once the weight starts coming off and food is no longer the focus.

Good luck and keep posting here. That really helped my motivation as well.

Thank you so much for your reply and advice. I will make some liquid soups up and freeze them prior to my op. one more week left. my jaw feels abit tight on this liquid diet am guessing its probably the withdrawl from all carcs ans sugars.
