Stating Pre-Op diet today



Recommended Posts

Started my diet today and so far it’s been ok. It’s 3:30pm and I’m starting to feel the hunger pains kick in. I’m going to eat dinner early and go to bed early. Any tips or tricks will be appreciated 😀

You can do it! My great trick was to drink Water and then try to fall asleep before the hunger came back. Avoid smells of food if you can. I used Vicks vapor rub below my nose to block out the smell of food cooking.

Drink lots of Water and if you’re allowed chew sugar free gum. I found the gum helped a ton with the need to chew.

If you put some chia seeds in the Water, the water becomes more filling, plus you get a little Protein and omega-3s out of it. 😃

Gum is a life saver.

I’d have died without it. Literally had different flavors for different cravings.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
