Day 9 of pre surgery liquid diet. But... I want pickles! Can I have them?!



Recommended Posts

Hey y’all! Surgery is on 5/16! I’m on day 9 of liquid diet but I’m dying! I’d love to enjoy a pickle or 2 tomorrow during our Saturday green market. Are we ok to eat pickles during this horrid liquid diet? I’m so tired of just shakes and broth and Water. Jesus help me! I’m also so anxious about next week. I’m here thinking about all of you in this journey and I’m sending all the good vibes and love your way!

When is your surgery? I had a different diet. I was allowed one small meal and chose dinner to eat. I cheated a little and still lost 16 pounds in one week.

I dont get such a regimented diet. I don't personally think pickles could hurt. They're super low in calories.

Best on your upcoming surgery!

There's no fat in pickles, so probably not a problem, but please try to stick to your liquid diet pre-op to best protect you for surgery.

I wasn't allowed pickles - or anything other than non-calorie or ultra-low calorie fluids. I stuck to my plan. I know it's hard, but it's so worth it in the end.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your feedback. I’ve chosen to stick to the liquid diet because I’m afraid of messing it up! Plus my surgery is on 5/16 so I’m almost there! And I know that the biggest struggles are ahead of me. This is the time to learn discipline and it’ll help post op. I know I’ll have half a pickle some time in the future so yay de that! Lol. Thanks again! Happy Saturday!

to be honest, I found the two-week liquid diet the most challenging part of it. After surgery most people lose their hunger and appetite for awhile, so these restrictive diets we're on the first few months don't seem that bad in comparison!!

I hope this is the case for me. I kinda feel the same way because right now I’m always hungry so afterward it should be easier! Fingers crossed. All the prayers and good vibes are welcomed at this point lol.

I'm having surgery the same day as you, and I'm allowed up to 200 calories of veggies along with my Glucerna shakes. I've had a couple of baby dill pickles every couple of days (the sweet of the shakes is overwhelming).

Omg it is overwhelming! I’m allowed the same but only raw veggies. I have that with some broth. I’m tired of the shakes, honestly. Going to try the powder. I love pickles I’m just wondering if it’s part of the veggies that I can have. I’m so excited for us, MrsGamgee!!! 🙏🏽

I was told I could cook my veggies or make them into a Soup, which is why I figured a couple of baby dills every now and then would be okay.

It's coming quick. Today I made a list for my hubs of people to co

Oops... what happened to the rest of my post?

The list is of people to contact when I'm in recovery. I'm also going over all my paperwork again, just to make sure I've got everything covered.

      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
