Open DS Surgery with Dr. Martin @ Madigan
Revision from 2006 - VBG
Hernia repair and tummy tuck - 05/12/2010
I am drinking lots and lots of water when I get hungry.
Also, my doc must be different than 90% of others out there; I can eat all the fruits and veggies I want just NPO after midnight on the day of my surgery (Sept 1st).
My issue, is this... I didn't get to be over 300 pounds by LOVING fruits and veggies.. LOL so ya its kicking my butt. I eat an apple and I'm like are you kidding me, that so didn't touch my hunger!!
Back to my doc, he's kinda back words.
I don't have a full liquid pre-op diet; I have a 6 week full liquid POST-op diet.
So ya, that will be just LOADS of fun! (joking)
But the only thing that makes me OK with it is knowing I should drop pretty rapidly during the 1st 6 weeks. (At least I hope so)
So stay strong and its almost over Gastric_Babe, and soon you will be able to eat again! :D
Here are a few tips:
Drink some water with a slice of lemon. Water does help to fill ones stomach up and it is great for our skin, as well.
Apple Cider Vinegar- great for killin hunger pains
A cup of cold or hot coffee. Hmm, love my morning coffee (decaf).
Green Tea. This I have also noticed is an ingredient in most diet pills. Buy the moderate grade kind.
Chew sugar free Gum
Brush or Floss your teeth
And ya, that's all I can think of!
I'm sure there are much more creative people on here than I!
XD Hope this finds you well! :D

That is just so awesome! My big day is Sept 1st as well. I was looking on your profile and I couldn't see what kind of WLS you are having so I wantes to ask!As far as the pre-liquid phase goes, just count down the days till it is over. If you can learn to control habits and make healthy choices before surgery I think that is an awesome learning tool for your new healthy life-style that is about to begin!!
Hope this finds you well
((hugs))
