1st day of pre-op diet - 8 hours in - absolutely starving!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

First day of my pre-op diet today and I’m really struggling!

Feel so weak, tired and hungry!

Does anyone have any advice on how to curb the hungry/weak feeling? Will it get better?!

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you!

It will get better, but there's no denying that it's tough! All the pre-diets are different. Tell us what you're allowed to eat and then maybe we can give you some suggestions.

Thanks so much for your reply! Currently I’m allowed 3 slim fast shakes per day (200 cals each). I have an appointment with my dietician on 24th June so that may change! Have been drinking vast amounts of Water and coffee today!

Other than the shakes are you allowed any other calories at all? What other liquids besides Water & coffee?

No other calories, sadly. I would be allowed to switch one shake for a healthy meal but I don’t trust myself enough to not cheat so I’m sticking with the shakes for now!

If you can have one healthy meal you might consider doing that to pack in the Protein. Protein makes you fuller longer. You could prep it ahead of time to curb the temptation to cheat but only you will know what might work.

3 shakes is pretty limited. Mine is no other calories but at least I get 5 shakes.

Wow, that's pretty strict. How about making yourself frozen "coffee-sicles" or any other calorie-free drink. At least you could chew on those a bit. I hope someone else can offer suggestions. This is a tough one!

Make your coffee-sucked with caramel shake mixed in , almost like a fudgesicle treat, Hey what about mixing chocolate or Cookies and cream in and making a mocha-sicle? 👅

I have been on the pre op liquid diet for five days and the first 2 days were really hard. It gets better hang In there. I’m only allowed 4 shakes. No coffee which sucks and I’m having headaches from the withdrawal. One think I am doing is putting crystal light in my Water that has helped a lot.

Brewer I know how you feel too! I’m having 3 slim fast shakes per day at 200 cals each... I’m still hungry today but not starving and weak like yesterday! I’m lucky as I’m having coffee - can you have anything caffeinated??

Oh no! That sucks so bad! 😢 I will struggle after surgery as I love Diet Coke and coffee!! Keep it up though, it’ll be soooo worth it! That’s what I keep telling myself!! You’ll feel better in a few days once the withdrawal is out your system 🙏

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
