1st Day of Pre-Op diet
Good Luck to you. I'm on Day 4 of my all liquid pre-op surgery. I made it through Easter dinner.....didn't even lick the bowl or batters when I made banana pudding. My doc has the fear of God in me that if he gets in there on surgery date and my liver isn't looking good then he won't do the surgery. Don't get me wrong......I'm not enjoying this at all, but in a weird way it's been fun b/c it is literally the first time that I've ever been fully compliant with any diet whatsoever.
My surgery is May 4th. I feel so good about this decision. Better than I have about any decision that I ever made in my life.
We can both get through this part. I am doing a LOT of self talk and I swear I never realized how many ads there are for food. Holy crap!!!!!
Good for you on going to an exercise class.
I finished my two week pre-op yesterday and am on all clear liquids today.
My surgery is tomorrow -
I really had no issues with it, but I did have an advantage. I'm single and live by myself, so I made sure there was nothing in the cupboards or fridge that was NOT allowed.
Day 2-3 I started thinking about cheating but didn't - after that you kinda get into a "zone" and its not that hard. I have lost 20 pounds so far and probably more by tomorrow morning as the all clear liquids are not wasting any time on staying IN my body...
Stick to it - it gives you a jump start, and then the real losing will begin!
best of luck,
Jason
God Bless
