Did any one have problems with their pre-op (lovely) diet!

Hey....   Im about 10 days out from surgery and I feel really bad because I havent been able to totally stick to my diet... and im not even to the "All Liquid" part of it yet!  I have lost 7 lbs... but dont feel much different!

Do they really want you to do it or do they just tell you that!  LOL


Just wondering if anyone went through the same thing....

Thanks, Ellen

I have to admit that I wasn't perfect on my pre-op diet.....I think it had to do with that "last supper" thing.  I by no means am saying this is ok as my surgery is on Tuesday, so hopefully it won't have hurt me any.  I have been perfect on the liquid only diet, just because I know for this I have to be.  Hang in there and try to make the best choices!!!
Good luck to you!

I hated the pre-op liquid diet.  It was the worst part for me.  I did stay on it exactly as instructed because I wanted my liver to be nice and small so that they could see easily around it.  My doctor said my surgery went perfectly, so I guess it worked.  I had RNY 4 days ago and feel much better today.

Ellen....

We share the same surgery date and frustration of this fabulous liquid diet.  I started last Monday and it has really been a struggle.  You definately have to play mind over matter with yourself and keep your eye on the prize.  We can do this!  We have to do this for ourselves!
Wishing you the best surgery and recovery.  Be blessed.
