This pre-op diet stinks. Major whine

[melsabells 64]

The first two to three days were really smooth. I had the pangs of hunger at first but now...ending of day four...i'm really hungry for a few crackers. Insanely hungry for them LOL

My stomach has been topsy turvy(hence wanting crackers). Last night it just went wild in a bad way. Were you able to go out much in the week before surgery? My stomach is really giving me issues today and i've had to stay close to home. I have to go to my niece's events in the next two days. Just a wee bit nervous.

I am however not really doubting my choice. I do have fears...lots of em...but i'm ready to put myself first for once.

Hope everyone is having a great night!

Yes, it does stink. I had a couple of 24-hour periods in the last week before surgery where I took a break and ate regular food. But my surgeon said that patients tell him the pre-op diet is the hardest part of surgery, and he’s absolutely right.

To me the pre op diet was bad but not as bad as being post op and not having anything to eat whatsoever for two weeks. Not sure how long your diet was but my Dr had us on Protein Shakes for two weeks pre op but allowed us to have one low carb meal per day up until a few days before surgery. Post op was NO food until we hit the puree stage. I have never been so happy to just have a baby spoon of refried Beans in my entire life!!!
