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.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
