Help-Two week Pre-op Liquid Diet!

Someone one stop me. I WANT TO EAT REAL FOOD.  It's Day six and I AM DYING. how did you guys do this without cheating?

You can do it!!!  I don't know what liquids you are allowed. I lived on SF popsicles, SF Jello, really good broth, Glucose Control Boost. I was never hungry. I just kept my eye on the prize!!!

Hang in there you are 1/2 way there!!!

Thanks Connie, but I have been told protein shakes and only completely calorie free liquids, water, coffee, tea, and Crystal Light.  I am not allowed anything sugar free because it still has calories, but I would be jumping for joy to have popsicles and the like.  950 a day max calories; five protein shakes pretty much do that.

Your right. surgery is a week from tomorrow and today is done, so seven days of starbving and then surgery.  I understand that the gnawing hunger will leave me for a while then.  I never thought I would be looking forward to the surgery! :-)

Thanks for your support.

 

I didn't have to do the pre op liquid diet. I did two weeks of clear liquid after my surgery and then I didn't care! You can do it!

I was in the hospital in September for eight days and that is all they gave me was clear liquid!

Just stay focused it will work.

Hi Judy, 

You mean you actually quit wanting food BEFORE surgery.  No way, I am starving constantly except for like 90 minutes after one of my shakes. I wish the hunger would go away, but my stomach physically hurts when it is so empty.  You give me hope that it might go away though!--THANKS

you want to be skinny and healthy again right??? LOOK at those before and after photos every time you get hungry!!! that is what did it for me!! i told myself if they can do it so can i!!!!!! drink water when you are hungry...eat a sf popsicle...sf jello....you are ALMOST there!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGS

You can do this! The end result is such an amazing gift. hang in there.

Hi Debbie and thanks,

When did you have surgery, not long ago it seems!

Hi!,

I had RnY on Aug 15th of this year. I'm down 48lbs, at a plateau right know but I know it will break. I've loss 43 inches and I just bought a pair of pants and 2 T-shirts in the misses department. I cannot tell you how great that feels. Like Vickie I called my doctor and was allowed to have 1 lean meal a day. I was on 1000 cals a day. So I would fix a chicken breast with spinach cooked in a little bit of chicken broth. 

Hang in there it will get easier!
