Hey guys so I’m on day 5 of my 7 day pre-op diet and ya girl is starving 😩😩 I could literally cry this is soooo hard. I’m tired of Atkins. I just want some food. Suggestions? Help me please I’m about to crack 😔

I just started my liquid diet yesterday and cried most of the day. I am
Addicted to food and yesterday made me realize how badly and it’s so sad. I woke up this morning feeling like shit! My head hurts so bad and I cannot stop going to the bathroom. I know my body is starting to detox but I am struggling. Has anyone been through feeling horrible the first couple days? Does it get easier???

Yes, my love, it does. I survived over 4 weeks on a liver- shrinking diet, now I am slowly chugging along. on Stage 2 after RnY on September 5th. Is it fun? Nope not necessarily. Is it bareable? Oh yes, you can't believe 1/4 to 1/3 cup is a sufficent amount but it is. When. my nerve frays, and I have a u

quite a few, I remember yes this strange stage will not last forever as my sore abused little bog of stomach heals things will get better. And all kinds of euphemisms are true, what does not kill me, only strenghtens me.
But bottom line, with its blips, twists and turns, it is liveable, I can and will do it. AND IT BEATS DEATH ALL HOLLOW, because without it. it was doubtful I would live out this decade. And even with transitory desire to hold,my surgeons nose and feed him just the diet HE has ME on, I 'll make it through. I am stubborn, RedHeaded, never ran away from a challenge, even married one, with all his deprecation, I OUTLIVED HIM. And now I am still living, I can Texas-2step, yodel , although I can Live Large, praises be with my surgery I Don't Have To Anymore, lost 6 pounds in just lady week, proud of my surgeon but more so of ME. Come rock,with me and let's change our corner of the world.

2, 2, barely 2. I have had trouble with thin cream of wheat/rice. so,pureed and strained Soup, Protein Shakes. flavored and no flavored waters , applesauce although t hst was a go-to, had v trouble last night. Believe they think I still have swelling, when 3 full weeks have expired we will check further. Luckily I have several flavors Soups, Kkeps me from Bonner-hood. As long As I don't try anything fancy Precious Pouch is happy with these things. Jello and. s,f,popsicles.

So how long before surgery do you have to go on liquids only?

sugar free Jello got me through. It’s very filling.

Hey sorry for the late response 🙄😩 I’ve been really bad about that lately. But yes I did have my surgery September 14th and I’m officially 40 pounds down fro my highest weight. Thanks for checking on me

[Frustr8 7,886]

And I am almost 12 weeks out and 64 pounds down since just before my liver shrinking diet (July 31st) lest you have any missplaced envy. of that kind of loss, keep in mind I have a stomal stricture and 5 evil unhealing ulcers to contend with. Hard to,keep from losing with THAT going,on.!
