3 days into pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

So far today is day 3 and i stepped on the scale and lost 4 lbs... Honestly though Iam miserable i just want to cry but i keep on trucking!.... 1 more week and i have my surgery. I am so blessed to have my husband and my few friends support me through this i know so many aren't that lucky. I can't wait to start my healthy life again physically and mentally.

It will definitely be worth it! What are you dealing with as far as being miserable? The only thing I dealt with was slight headaches. I wasn't as hungry as I expected to be. Remember to drink a lot of Fluid. It helps with the hunger. :)

I am on day 13 of the liquid diet. I can't tell you it gets easy, but I can tell you it gets easier. Make sure you get lots of Protein. Drink lots of Water. And find ways to stay busy! Just remember what it's all for!

I too am also on my pre-op I'm 2 days away from surgery and I feel much better than I did when I first started. I've lost 8lbs and I couldn't be happier that it's finally here. I'm glad to have found this website to read about other people's experiences. It's good to share with people who have gone through or are sharing in what your going through.

You're allowed to take liquid Tylenol. That's what I took, and it helped. :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
