***PRE OP DIET COMING UP FAST***

 So....I start my pre-op diet on Dec 15th. (Tues)   For the past couple of days, my stomach has been upset. (kinda like butterflies) I usually never get "nerves" like this. My hubby says it is just my nerves being frazzled. I am inclined to agree with him on this one. I have a very long (to me) pre-op diet, BUT....I am a "heavy weight". That being said....I am ready for this. I just wi**** were over, & I was in recovery!! I will post daily starting Tues on my pre-op. I think that will help me be even more accountable. Well....I have 4 days till Pre-op. I am ready! I am ready! 

 GL to you on your pre op diet. Not sure what all yours entails. My dr only asked for me to do clear liquids for 3 days. But I put myself on one starting this past Sat and have already lost 5 pounds. We are here for support if it gets to you! I know this board has helped me daily.

Try not to get discouraged during the pre-op diet.  It will, by far, be the hardest part of the entire surgery.  I remember how tough it was to get anywhere close to satisfaction.  Stay with it, because the rewards of doing well on the pre-op diet are a better surgery and faster recovery.  I wish you all the best!

thank you!

Good Luck!  On my first week of liquids - day 3 was bad, but after I finished day 3 each day got easier.  By surgery most of my cravings were gone!

Don't worry - once you get past week 1 everything is so much easier.  Don't worry about never having a certain food again either.  You can eat anything in moderation after you make goal.  The great thing is nothing tastes that great that you binge. 

I am satisfied with a bite - my first Thanksgiving dinner at goal weight - I had a tablespoon of potatoes and dressing - 1/2 a roll and thanked god that they had a dog.  After the first bite of dressing and roll - I was totally satisfied.  The dog got the rest when no one was looking, cause I just did NOT WANT to eat anymore.  Still AMAZED to this day, loving my sleeve.
