I started my preop diet yesterday and it ain’t easy lol I stocked up on protein shakes and sugar free popsicles but nothing else. It is definitely doable but it’s hard not going to lie. Any one else feel this way?

Yes everything is for a reason and you got this! Surprisingly I am not that hungry today which is weird because by this time yesterday I was starving. Now I’m just like ehh I’ll have a shake later not really in the mood to eat.

Glas to hear it is going better for you. Day 4 for me and I m so ready to move on to the next phase-surgery & recovery. When we get to the regulr diet fter this it will seem like a big deal insread of undoable. Good luck to you!

Yes not too bad today I’m not even hungry. I had two protein shakes and a sugar free popsicle. I’ll have a piece of salmon or chicken breast later but really I’m not in the mood to eat. It does get easier I can see that.

I am... STRUGGLING!!!

Hello, new here. I was scheduled for February 18th for surgery, but due to no power and water in Houston it was canceled. I was on my 4th day of pre-op liquid diet, but stopped b/c of the cancellation and all the things going on right now. I’m going to start back on it tomorrow so I can be prepared when they reschedule my surgery. By day 3 I was okay, but the first two days were hard. It would be nice to lose 10-20 lbs before surgery. We got this, is just temporary.

The same thing happened to me but it was Covid spike. Postponed for 9 weeks. I gained weight because of the timing and holidays/ I have my surgery on 2/23...looking forward to it!! Good luck to you!

Omg 9 weeks long time. I’m happy for you that is around the corner. Please keep us posted.

It is very hard! How far along are you?

Thank you, it will definitely pass. I actually just receive an email with a new surgery date of 3/10. I should just stick with the liquid diet till then.

I just got off my 2 week modified liquid diet yesterday now I’m on day two of my full liquid diet and I am STARVING... I’m pretty sure it’s mind over matter but the struggle is real!

Congratulations!!

Thank you. What does you modified liquid diet consist of?

I am on day 4 of 7 for liquid diet. Surgery is on 2/24. Down 5 more lbs. Staying on track and accountable. Trying to keep busy. So far so good. Day 7 which is clear liquids will be the hardest. I work that day so hope that will help distract me.

I drink at least 3 protein shakes 4 oz of lean meat 2 servings of vegetable and 64 ounces of sugar free drinks I just drink water though. I also have some sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles. Days 1-3 were hard and I barely had energy day 4 I’m feeling good, more energy.
