I am on my first day of the pre op diet. I am so proud of myself, I haven't cheated and I've wanted to multiple times. I know as the 2 weeks move along may get a little more difficult but hopefully I'll adjust. Anyone else with surgery date 8/28/2019. I have about 150 pounds to lose! Any advice or tips would be welcomed.

the first couple of days were the worst for me. Once your body goes into ketosis, it's not as bad.

Hi ,
I'm on my first pre op day and scared as hell weather I'll manage this .
My surgery is planned for 30.8.
I'm just two days behind you [emoji847]
I have a feeling that beginning won't be hard - first few days - but later on it will get difficult
Hopefully we will be successfull on this pre op journey

I agree with @catwoman7--the first days are the worst! Hang in there. Stay busy and drink busloads of water, decaff black coffee, decaff green tea and your protein drinks. Also sugar free popsicles and a sf jello per day.

It is not so bad , at least it wasn't today .
I'm allowed to drink soups and protein shakes - but must keep my calorie intake to 1200 .
Right now I'm bothered by headache but I guess it is normal untill my body gets used to this
I will start taking biotin and some good vitamin and mineral combo tomorow just to keep my immune system in check
I even walked a few hours with my girl
We went in parks and she had fun
Hopefully tomorrow will be a success like today [emoji2]

The headache might be from carb withdrawal. I think i had one for the first couple of days

Yes , you are right
I have noticed it is normal in first days cause it is a huge difference in calorie intake and in makros it self .
But overall I'm holding quite well
Had no crisis so far or need to eat more than this
I'm struggling with water ..
It is so hard to drink enough .
Thanks [emoji8]

I begin my pre op diet next Thursday. This is all great information. Thanks so much for sharing. Is anyone allowed to have greek yogurt?

Well my surgeon requested diet woth calorie intake 1200 - as long as I stayed in that range I can eat anything I want
But cause of easier calorie counting I'm in a full liquid diet with one meat - low or no carbs meal

It is hard in the beginning. I have did full liquid diet for first three - four days.
I had headache and felt weak in those first days
Good luck with your surgery and your journey

Your getting close! I am right after you, on either the 3rd or 4th. Anxious to get it done.

It is madness - just two more days until going to hospital - and four days until surgery [emoji27][emoji1] is it even possible that days are going by so fast [emoji23] good luck to you [emoji8]

I won't be going to the hospital until the day of surgery, and most likely will get discharged the next day.

Best of luck to you!
