Pre-Op Diet Hunger Distractions



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow is my first day of a three week liquid pre-op diet. I'm not really that concerned with cheating but I am worried about being 'hangry' all the time. Does anyone have anything that worked for them to keep them distracted?

Tomorrow is my first day as well. I feel the same way. I just keep telling myself to keep busy and the end result will be worth it

Honestly its all mental, Im on day 3 of the stray liquid liver reduction diet because my surgery is Monday and when Im "hungry" I stop an think am I hungry or bored or think its time to eat. The Protein shakes fill the real hunger for me so far.

I have to tell you - I was concerned just like you and it really is just not that bad.

I started on the 2nd for surgery on the 22 and I am almost never really physically hungry.

I am still making all my daughters meals and sitting with the family to eat and it's not bugging me too much....

When she is at camp and I'm home alone I do have a little battle with head hunger and I've been doing little things to help with that - read a book, call a friend, walk around the block, take a nap, take a shower - and when I'm really desperate I clean lol.

But for the most part what has helped me the most has been acknowledging that it's just head hunger and deciding to not give in to it.

I'm counting on keeping myself busy but I know there's going to be times, especially at my job in between clients, where I will be just sitting there with not much as distractions. I'm determined to power thorough though!

Why do you have to do three weeks? Isn't it normally two? That stinks :(

I hate all the Protein shakes I've tried! I started my liquid diet yesterday and my surgery is on the 23rd. I could also use a friend on here having surgery around the same time to talk to.

Have you tried GNC Total Lean 25? Those are the only ones I can stomach! We should totally keep in touch during the process, it's so helpful to have people to talk with who are going through the same thing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
