Hey guys!

June 28th here! I’m starting to freak myself out! Pre op diet begins on June 21st.

I haven’t told anyone I’ll be having this done besides my boyfriend. Work doesn’t even know. They just think I’ll be out of town for awhile. I haven’t told a soul because I don’t want to hear any backlash.

June 14! I’m currently on day #4 of my 16-day pre-op diet. Day #15 is liquids only.

My preop diet has been a bit of a disaster. My surgery is on Monday @1pm. So all protein shakes and protein water for the weekend. I’m looking forward to being on the other side when I’m all tooled up

Mine is June 7th. I have been doing low carb high protein mod fat diet. I was not required to do anything other than maintain carbs under 50 best I can for ten days. Today I will start liquid. And I think I will avoid coffee also. I had gained 10 pounds a month ago. Eating what I wanted. I have not had carb cravings like thought. I have lost probably 5 pounds n inches. Now I am nervous.

I’m on the other side now. Everything went well and I’m feeling pretty good

Hey where did u go?

How was it

I am at the place. Tommorow is the big day!

My date is June 19 and I’m 2 days down with pre op

Hi everyone I have surgery on the 27 of this month. Getting ready to start my pre op diet in 6 days, the last 3 days is a liquid diet not looking forward to that. Any tips would be great. Hope everyone is well and happy.

Hello. I’m in Australia so I went to the local private hospital. It’s been good so far, I was well hydrated before the procedure and have been on drips since. I’m going home tonight. My surgeon likes to keep people a few days post to up your fluids before they send you home.

If I keep drinking as well as I have been I will be good, now the focus is protein. I’m one of the lucky ones, I can still drink, and enjoy, water.

My weight gain was due to bad food choices, overeating and neglecting my health. My nutritionist has told me to stay on liquids for another week and then purée/soft for 4 weeks. I’ve been told to stick to 1/2 cup per meal of food rich in protein.

This is a tough phase. You are restricting your meals and still hungry! Try and drink as much liquids as you can so you are well hydrated pre surgery. When you want to eat, have a drink and distract yourself. I know, easier said than done. I struggled with the preop diet, it wasn’t pretty! Drinking lots of water helped post op.
