Help-Two week Pre-op Liquid Diet!
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.

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

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!
