Day one of my pre-op diet....

[elisa_rose 122]

I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery dec.8th.. I'm now getting very nervous... I start my pre-op diet today. It's really hard.. I know it's all mental..

I'm allowed 5 shakes a day for two weeks.. I'm hoping this gets easier... I won't give up I know this is what I want. I know this is important. However I'm starving:(

@@elisa_rose you got this ! After day 3/4 it'll be easier. I know some friends of mine have told me that day 2-4 they've gotten headaches . My pre op diet was 7 days shakes , Water , broth and sugar free Jello . I've been reading more that all pre op diets vary depending on surgeon . I'm only 7 days post op and I'm still still on the same liquid diet as pre op and this time around it's easier. Don't worry you'll get through this !

I'm right there with you. Scheduled for the 7th and started my diet today. Todays is extremely emotionally stressful for me for personal reasons. I almost forgot I was on the diet today. LOL I drove to the hospital to visit my son thinking "Oh man, i'm so hungry! Oh there's a Burger King next to the hospital, I'll swing in and get a burger." So glad I remembered to throw a couple shakes in my purse before I left. Its going to be a long couple of weeks, but we'll get though it, just as those before us have, right?

Best of luck. It isn't easy but it does get easier.

I hope things get less stressful for you.. this is hard enough without added stress. We made it through the first day.. it has to get easier:)

@@elisa_rose not going to lie I still have that gas they pumped me up with in me but walking around helps . I went in early 11/18 and was in and out of sleeping due to pain meds and just being tried from the anesthesia . The next day is when they gave me Water , broth and Jello to finish from 7am -noon. Just like everyone says , sip sip sip . I'm still learning when I'm full from liquids . I did make thanksgiving dinner for my family and not once did I have a desire to eat it or taste . I always felt full from the liquids . I'm still sore but it's getting better and I'm moving around more . I do have to remember to take my Protein with me or water bottle when I'm out too . I'm learning new ways to make the most of this liquid stage for me . Lol but everyday gets better and better .

Variety in shake flavors will help keep you sane. I have 5 full size powder tubs and easily a dozen single servings around the house.

Add crystal light or mio to change it up! I had a strawberry shake made with crystal light lemonade last night and it was a nice change.

[elisa_rose 122]

I only have chocolate right now .. going to pick up vanilla and strawberry this weekend... good suggestion thank you:)
