After surgery you won't be hungry much. As soon as you eat something, you'll be full. I broke down one day, and have a pack of Lance crackers, that was it, had to skip my meal.

Yes that’s what I keep reading. It’s like this is the hardest part because I’m aware that I can still eat the food. But I’m determined to beat this food cravings and not give in. I have to keep fighting.

Thanks Star! You started early. Today so far I’ve had Water and a oíkos zero sugar yogurt. It alone has 15 grams of Protein. lunch will be Premier Protein shake. They’re not too bad.

[emoji38] You say that now, but after surgery, and another 2 weeks liquid, they will drive you insane.....

I think this pre op diet is harder than the whole surgery. It’s so hard

Really? I haven’t even been given an idea of what it might be. Glass half full, when I go to pre-op I’ll only have a week until surgery

I am scheduled for surgery on April 25th! My Dr requires a 1 week pre-op diet so I start mine on the 18th, but this week I'm trying to slowly change my diet so that I don't go into shock next week lol.
Good luck to you on your new journey!
I'll be look forward to your updates!

The week before I technically had to start I started this with just one healthy meal a day so I wouldn’t go in shock. I know my brain/body and have to ease into things. So the transition wasn’t too bad. Good luck!

So, I got my pre-op diet plan. Two days before I have to do stage 2, the full Fluid stage where I can have yogurt, Protein Shakes, and cream of wheat. One day before is nothing but Clear Liquids, so it won’t be tooooooo bad.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
