day 2 of 2 week preop diet..

OMG!!..this is torture...hoping im strong enough for this process..cuz im sure it only gets harder from here...any encouraging words?...

Nicki, I don't have anything encouraging to say, but I think I will be in the same boat as you starting next week and it is making me nervous...

But I figure others have made it through, so shall I :) I have already warned family and coworkers that I may be a tad grumpy next week and the week after, so beware!

For me, the first 3-4 days SUCKED, and then it was pretty smooth sailing from there on out.  You can do it!

Thanks....and I assume it starts all over after surgery...since its basically the same diet then too...but on top of that....you feel awful from surgery....ugh....feeling discouraged... :(

You can do it. Tomorrow is the last day for my pre-op diet as my VSG is scheduled this Friday. The first 3 days were rough but it got easier after that, even the last 2 days doing nothing but clear liquids hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Keep focused on the reason you're doing this in the first place. I'm told the pre-op diet is the worst part of the whole process.

Most people say they start feeling okay with the pre-op diet on day 3-4.  For me it was day 6 when things drastically improved.  You can do it!  I don't feel like it was starting over after surgery. You remain on the liquids from pre-op but are even less interested in eating, so I found it much easier.  Best wishes!  You got it!!

You are strong enough!!!  Just hang in there.  The first few days of any diet are the worst.  This is day 4 for me and yesterday was better than the day before.  You can do this.

thank you everyone for the encouraging words...today does seem better, and once i am off this anti biotic for uti...I will feel better also...thanks everyone!
