Day 5 of pre-op diet and...



Recommended Posts

My skin is breaking-out like a b***h I am used to my skin being a bit funny as I have PCOS, but I have proper broken out in spots all over my chin and one on my cheek and it is insane! Did anyone else's skin do this?

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. Finding it much easier to manage now as everyone said!

One mistake I have made though is only ordering one flavour Soup I thought I would like, and it turns out that it just makes me gag now 🤢

My skin broke out right after my surgery! Omg. I am on week six postop and it is cleared up, but wow, it did not like the change.

@pamela It is so annoying isn't it! I literally just feel so gross, but I know it'll pass :(

How are you finding things?

Oh my gosh, you're almost there! Just over a week to go!

Are you allowed Tomato or butternut squash Soup? I found these blended with unflavored Protein were so much better than the powdered "soups."

My dietician said I am only allowed Meal Replacement stuff so that it has all the Vitamins & minerals I need in them, so no other Soups :( I am gonna have to grit my teeth with it I think!

Almost there for sure! I can't wait for it to be over haha

I broke out too, I think its because were eating better foods, drinking more Water that all the impurities are coming out of our skin. I def have better skin now and probably the best its looked in years! keep hope!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
