Day 3 on Pre-Op and STARVING!



Recommended Posts

I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. It's not liquid but I have to keep calories 800-1000/day, with most coming from Protein. Getting in the protein. Still so crazy hungry. I can't concentrate bc I'm so hungry. I've never been this food focused in my life. Any advice for not feeling so hungry???

It will get better, for me it was day 3. I really just got to the point that Ididn't care if I ate or not. SF Popsicles are only 15 cals and are such a treat!

sugar free Jello. Clear broth. Green Tea.

Distractions. Watch movies you love. Have crazy sex. Take a hot bath. Do something you enjoy.

I had a terrible time of it, too. I HATE how I feel in ketosis. I feel unhinged and horrible, brain fog, hangry, desperate, dizzy, miserable.

Pre-op diet was really tough for me, but I did it.

A day at a freaking time. An hour. A minute, sometimes.

You can do this. It won't last forever.

Hang in there!! I agree with the SF popsicles!

Once you get to post op, things will be so much easier. Good luck!

        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!!
