Topic: RE: Looking forward to surgery just to get off Pre-Op diet!
Good Luck! and you are so lucky to not have to follow such a crazy pre-op diet. What surgery are you having? I had the RNY laproscopically. I never had a c-section, but I am really sore, thank goodness for the pain meds:) Good Luck and keep me updated!
What the mind believes, the body can achieve.

Yikes! Yes, your pre-op diet was much worse than mine. I don't know what I'd do without the veggies. Fortunately, I don't have the 2 day final diet either. My surgery is the 11th (Tuesday) and I've got my fingers crossed I'll be released the following day. I've had two c-sections and I keep teling myself it can't be any worse than that... ? Best wishes to you!

That was much better than my pre-op diet. It was full liquids for 2 weeks! Protein shakes and unlimited clear liquids. It was terrible and I had a very difficult time following it. The worst was the 2 day pre-op diet of clear liquids only. BUT I got through it and had my surgery on Oct 4 and was released from the hospital yesterday. Believe me now, its not hard at all! :) When is your surgery? Good Luck You can do it!

Seriously, 2 week pre-op diet has been TOUGH! My diet looks like this:
4 protein shakes/day (rarely do I drink them all - they're making me nauseous now)
"full liquids" for snacks (s-f pudding, jello, l-f yogurt, etc)
veggies (no limit)
no caffeine, no carbonated drinks, etc
4 oz lean meat 1xweek
I've managed not to cheat. I've lost 14 pounds in a week and a half. I've had moments of depression because I could not think of anything I wanted to eat. I've had moments of pride when I cooked up a veggie in a really yummy way. At the end of the day, though, I just want this pre-op diet to be over! I never would have dreamed I'd be looking forward to pureed foods (just so I can have some variety/meat!)
My surgery is in 4 days. I know I can do it. I think my mindset has already changed for the better. I'm not craving sweets (for some reason, I am craving eggs and tuna fish - not together). I'm not missing my nightly glass(es) of wine. I'm eating more to live instead of just for the pure pleasure of it.
BUT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS STINKIN' PRE-OP DIET TO BE OVER!!!!!!! LOL
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

5 days till the BIG DAY!!! Really trying to get a grip. Work, employees, business, wife running the show. We planned to do all this, BUT it's coming shortly. I'm just trying to get focused on what the new me will be like, and the journey to get there. I'm being very positive and doing what ever is asked to make the transformation go smoothly.
